Finding Nosce:
As parents with a child who would be coming alone to the UK from China, we were uncertain about the UK independent school system and how to navigate it for our children. Through extensive research and recommendations from other expat families, we discovered Nosce Education Consultancy in Shanghai and immediately reached out for assistance.
Initial Introductions:
Our first interactions with Nosce was incredibly positive, as they took the time to understand our family’s unique needs and priorities. Their team was attentive, knowledgeable, and provided valuable insights into the UK education landscape.
Tuition and Exam Preparation:
Nosce offered tailored tuition to prepare our children for the entrance exams required by UK independent schools. This included UKISET practice which is one of the most important “first steps” Their tutors were experienced and supportive, providing personalized support to help our children excel academically.
Choosing the Right School:
With Nosce’s guidance, we explored various schools to find the best fit for our children. They arranged informative school visits, facilitated meetings with admissions officers, and provided invaluable advice to help us make well-informed decisions. They arranged for us to take all the exams remotely (some at home and the some at the British consul) this made things so much easier for us.
Additional Support:
Nosce provided ongoing support to ensure a smooth change for our family. They offered support with paperwork and documentation, connected us with local support networks, and even provided cultural orientation sessions to help us acclimate to our new environment.
Transition Experience:
Thanks to Nosce’s comprehensive support, our family’s transition to the UK was relatively smooth. They alleviated much of the stress associated with relocating to a new country, allowing our children to settle in quickly and focus on their academic pursuits with confidence.
