Our Story
Leading Education was founded by two Cambridge alumni who applied from comprehensive schools and found the process difficult to navigate. They started the company with the aim of demystifying the application process through a suite of products, ranging in cost, which would allow any student access to support regardless of background.
Our ApproachLessons that spark; moments that stick.
At Leading Education, we believe that a bored mind is a closed mind. Our mission is to inspire students through “wow” moments—experiences that spark curiosity, ignite passion, and drive motivation.
From bringing car engines into lessons to hosting candlelit dinners in grand halls, we integrate 'wow' moments into every aspect of our teaching. Even our online curriculums are designed to shock and delight.

Testimonials
My tutor covered a very wide range of topics, across politics, economics, and philosophy. She also helped me to discuss and vocalise my answers in an academic way and approach unfamiliar problems to get to the right answer. I was unsuccessful in applying to Oxford in 2018 and I am happy to say that I got an offer in 2019 to study at University College.

With the help of tutors in Leading Education, I learn some very useful and specific skills in solving some complex mathematical and physics problems. I learned how to analyse and simplify trivial questions and solve them using the least time. Obtaining these skills in advance is very helpful. Therefore, I was kind of relaxed and feeling confident in the real interview.
Jacky Zhang
Leading Education really helped a lot with my application. I realized through the Leading Academic’s tutor that I need to have a rich knowledge background for the course you apply for. I was also instructed to practice lots of maths and physics questions and read some books about them. I have received perfect advice for my Personal Statement from the tutors.
