Expert, personalised guidance for families navigating the world of independent schools and summer programmes — from first conversation to enrolment day.
French-born Bérangère Allen enjoyed a 15-year banking career in New York before moving to London in 2014. She then devoted herself full-time to raising a family, while volunteering as a parenting coach in state schools.
When two of her daughters decided to board, Bérangère toured campuses throughout the UK. Friends naturally began turning to her for guidance and firsthand experience, and following a series of successful recommendations, both families and educators encouraged her to establish her own educational consultancy.
In her advisory work, Bérangère prioritises school visits paired with direct parent and student feedback from her extensive network. This approach has allowed her to build a proprietary portfolio of selected schools to match the different needs of children and their families.
Having grown her practice through word-of-mouth, Bérangère is expanding her presence via Instagram to share her insights with a broader audience.

Independent Education Advisor
London, UK
We start with a free 30-minute conversation to understand your child's interests, learning style, and what you're hoping to find in a school or programme.
Based on your family's priorities, I research and curate a personalised list of schools and programmes that are a genuine fit — not just the famous names.
From essay coaching and interview prep to school visits and teacher recommendations, I guide your child through every part of the application process.
When the offers arrive, I help you weigh the options with confidence — and stay in touch through your child's first term to make sure the transition goes smoothly.
"During a very challenging time, Bérangère found the perfect prep school for our 9-year-old son within a week. He is thriving, and we couldn't be more grateful for her outstanding support."
"Having a strong Euro/American background and living in the UK for an extended period, she was able to provide us with both a bird's eye view of the UK educational system as well as an insider's perspective on our son's school choices. Very helpful!"
"Hiring Bérangère has been our best decision! Her support and efficient work have made all the process so much easier, as well as possible! If we had to repeat, we would not hesitate. We are so grateful and highly recommend."
