Welcome to Arcadia Curriculum!
As the Head Admission Consultant at Arcadia Curriculum, I am thrilled to share with you the passion and dedication that drive our approach to education. With a record of leading two of the highest-performing A-level colleges in the UK for 15 consecutive years, my journey in education has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a deep understanding of the academic landscape.
A Tradition of Excellence
Under my leadership, we have consistently achieved #1 rankings in A-level results from 2010 to the present. I have had the privilege of guiding over 800 students into prestigious institutions such as Oxford, Cambridge, the London School of Economics, and Imperial College London. Furthermore, an equal number have been admitted into top medical schools, with 100% of my students receiving offers to Russell Group Universities in the UK.
Innovating Education
My educational philosophy has always been about innovation and holistic development. From founding Cardiff Sixth Form College in 2004 as a small tutorial center, to redefining educational strategies at Oxford International College, I have always prioritized a blend of academic excellence, career preparation, and personal development. This ‘East and West’ philosophy has brought our institutions to the pinnacle of educational success, recognized by leading educational bodies and reflected in our consistent top rankings in the UK A-Level league tables.
Engaging and Empowering Students
As an educator, I believe in engaging directly with students, spending countless hours tutoring, coaching, and mentoring. My approach is not just about teaching but inspiring and motivating students to exceed their expectations. This commitment has been recognized with multiple awards, including the Pearson Teaching Award for Science Teacher of the Year and the Welsh Woman of the Year.
Joining Arcadia Curriculum
At Arcadia Curriculum, we are dedicated to continuing this legacy of excellence. Our programs are designed not only to prepare students for their exams but to equip them with the skills necessary for success at university and beyond. Whether you are aiming for a top university, a leading medical school, or seeking a comprehensive educational experience, we are here to support and guide you every step of the way.
Thank you for considering Arcadia Curriculum as your partner in education. Together, we can achieve extraordinary things. Let us embark on this journey of learning and success together.
Yours in education,

Testmonial
Most unique to Arcadia Curriculum is the wide network of mentors and students, meaning that for virtually any query, there is likely someone who has had a recent experience with the issue at hand. Arcadia Curriculum also holds frequent sessions spanning various aspects of the application process and provides a well-rounded approach to medical applications. Arrangement of work experience is also of great help to students, who may otherwise struggle to find the tailor-made work experience opportunities that Arcadia Curriculum offers.
When I decided to go to the UK, most of the schools have passed the deadline, and there are certain restrictions on where I can go to study, but after the Arcadia Curriculum Academics counsellor took over my case, they still tried their best to get me into the region and the top school. And finally, I was successfully admitted. My family and I were ecstatic. The counsellor would still pay attention to my study journey in the UK and maintain close contact. This kind of thorough care, It's hard to find elsewhere.
The strengths of the Arcadia Curriculum Medical Programme include access to work experience with good variety in both primary and secondary care, personal statement coaching with tailored statements for different medical school admissions, and mock interviews, covering MMIs, interview techniques and professional development.
A very detailed and personalised medical programme which ensures everyone can receive holistic support in terms of their strengths and weaknesses. Personally, I really enjoyed the packed sessions with different mentors that cover all aspects of the selection process from preparing a personal statement to MMI interviews. Without the help of excellent standards, my application process could have been a lot more challenging.
Sunny's classes were really helpful. He managed to identify and improve my weakness. The tedious concepts were delivered in a comprehensive way. I was able to be clearer about the content after every class and eventually achieved an ideal grade. Now I'm studying at my dream university, and I would not have done that without his help.
Teresa is a very friendly tutor and very knowledgeable about the admissions process. I got a lot done in a few hours as the deadline approached. She gave me a lot of great ideas in my personal essay that I wouldn't have thought of myself. I'd definitely recommend it to students looking for help with their college applications!
In my opinion, the biggest strength that Arcadia Curriculum Medical Programme provides, and what distinguishes it from other programmes that support aspiring medical students, is the “whole-package” style, individualised support to the applicant. Applicants are followed through from their GCSEs, through A-levels, up until they get into medical school, so mentors have a full understanding of the applicant’s profile from academics, motivation, work experience, UCAT, BMAT, etc.
I've been learning from Serene through my IGCSE and IB years, and I'm so grateful for her guidance! Serene has really helped me understand all the topics I've struggled with, from motors in Physics all the way up to stop me from pulling my hair out in HL Maths AA! Her meticulous and caring teaching truly helped me understand the concepts for exams, alongside many past paper questions and continuous help even outside the classroom! Thank you so much 😀
