Having led her own students to scholarship offers at more than a dozen top independent schools in London and beyond, Julia’s experience in this area is second to none.
Apart from her extensive knowledge of the application process and the actual standard required by specific schools, Julia’s background as a concert artist performing at the highest level means she knows exactly how to prepare for auditions in a way that is effective without placing undue stress on the child, putting them in the strongest possible position.
After publishing her blog post Winning a music scholarship with everyone's sanity intact - a guide in 2021, Julia started getting frequent requests for consultations from parents keen to learn more about the scholarship process and make sense of what can often be confusing and conflicting information. She is absolutely passionate about equipping parents with no-nonsense advice that is rooted in years of firsthand experience, an exceptional track record of student success and - importantly - doesn’t cost the earth!
