Our People

Our excellent team of educational consultants and school advisors are the key to our long-standing success. Meet the people behind William Clarence Education.

Values and Principles

London-based education consultancy, William Clarence, was named after two family members of our founder Stephen Spriggs.  A founding principle was to provide the very best educational consultancy advice to families around the world and to offer professional support with professional private tuition, school placement, university applications, Oxbridge and US admissions.  We pride ourselves on our ability to become part of our family's application process and an indispensable element of their relocation to the UK. 

We listen to your needs and advise honestly and impartially as to the correct and most beneficial route to success.  As a result, we attract the very best talent within education and have unrivalled knowledge and network within the UK and US educational systems, enabling us to advise at every age group and curricula along your academic journey.  We accept no fees from schools or advisors, and so our service is totally impartial and focused on providing the lasting and most effective results
