At XellED, we designed premium, highly personalised test preparation and academic enrichment programmes for families navigating international education systems and selective school admissions across the UK, UAE and Switzerland.
Our philosophy is simple: robust preparation early on creates opportunity. While schools provide strong academic foundations, many of the skills required for competitive admissions and assessments reasoning, critical thinking, advanced reading, interview performance and strategic test-taking are not always explicitly taught within the classroom. Students often face online, timed and adaptive assessments that require them to demonstrate abilities beyond what is measured in traditional school settings. Through structured preparation, expert guidance, and personalised support, we help students approach these challenges with confidence, clarity and composure.
Our TPTS encompass a comprehensive range of programmes designed to support students at different stages of their educational journey, including :
Each programme is designed not only to prepare students for a specific assessment, but also to strengthen the underlying skills that contribute to long-term academic success.

XellED’s programmes are overseen by Founder Aanchal Kotibhaskar and Head of Test Preparation William Glenn. Together, they combine expertise in school admissions, assessment preparation, curriculum development and student mentoring to ensure every programme is academically rigorous, personalised and continually refined.
Unlike many tutoring providers, our programmes are not built around generic worksheets or off-the-shelf resources. Every XellED programme is carefully designed around the skills, challenges and expectations students encounter throughout the admissions journey.
Supported by a team of specialist tutors trained in reasoning, literacy, mathematics and admissions preparation, we create personalised learning pathways that are relevant to each student’s goals, strengths and areas for development.
The result is preparation that goes beyond simply teaching to a test, helping students develop the confidence, thinking skills and academic foundations needed for long-term success.
Our materials are carefully curated and continuously refined by educational specialists. Rather than relying on generic resources, we develop and adapt content based on current assessment requirements, admissions expectations, and proven educational methodologies. This ensures that students receive preparation that is both academically rigorous and highly relevant to their goals.
The trust families place in our programmes is reflected in the number of students who return for additional services as they progress through different educational stages. Today, over 50% of our families engage with multiple XellED TPTS programmes, demonstrating the long-term value they find in our personalised approach and the outcomes achieved.
The benefits extend far beyond test scores. Students frequently develop stronger reasoning abilities, improved reading comprehension, enhanced problem-solving skills, greater intellectual curiosity, increased academic confidence, and a more resilient approach to challenges. Most importantly, they gain the confidence to perform at their best when opportunities matter most.
Whether preparing for CAT4, ISEB Pre-Tests, Quest assessments, or broader academic development, every programme is carefully tailored to the individual student — because exceptional outcomes require more than generic preparation.

The CAT4 assessment measures how students think and reason rather than what they have learned in school. As modern students spend more time consuming information and less time developing analytical thinking skills independently, many benefit from structured support in reasoning, problem-solving, and cognitive flexibility. Schools often use CAT4 results for admissions, placement decisions, and academic profiling.
Our CAT4 preparation programme helps students strengthen verbal, quantitative, non-verbal, and spatial reasoning skills while becoming familiar with the assessment format. Students build confidence, improve processing efficiency, and learn strategies that can support both admissions assessments and long-term academic performance.
The ISEB (Independent Schools Examinations Board) Test is a key component of admissions to many leading British independent schools. As an adaptive assessment, it requires British curricula students to combine academic knowledge with reasoning ability, confidence, and effective decision-making under pressure. These are skills that are not always explicitly developed within a traditional classroom environment.
Our programme helps students strengthen English, mathematics, verbal reasoning, and non-verbal reasoning skills while building familiarity with adaptive testing. Students learn how to approach questions strategically, manage time effectively, and perform with greater confidence throughout the admissions process.
The UKiset (UK Independent Schools Entry Test) is a key assessment used by many leading British independent schools to evaluate international applicants applying from non-British curricula. As an adaptive, standardised test, it measures not only academic knowledge but also reasoning ability, English proficiency, and the capacity to perform under timed, unfamiliar conditions. These are skills that are not always fully developed through traditional school curricula.
Our programme helps students strengthen English language skills, verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and non-verbal reasoning while building familiarity with the UKiset format and adaptive testing structure. Students learn how to interpret questions accurately, apply logical strategies, and manage time effectively across varying levels of difficulty, leading to greater confidence and consistency throughout the admissions process.
The Quest Assessment is a structured admissions and academic readiness test used by select UK-style schools to evaluate a student’s core academic ability and learning potential. As an assessment that focuses on both subject knowledge and underlying reasoning skills, it requires students to think critically, apply knowledge flexibly, and perform under timed conditions. These are competencies that are not always fully developed within a traditional classroom setting.
Our programme helps students strengthen English, mathematics, verbal reasoning, and non-verbal reasoning skills while building familiarity with the Quest format and question styles. Students learn how to approach problems strategically, improve accuracy under pressure, and develop effective time-management techniques, ensuring stronger performance and greater confidence throughout the assessment process.
The Advanced Reading Programme (ARP) is designed to develop reading maturity, comprehension, vocabulary, critical thinking, and intellectual curiosity. In today’s digital environment, many students are reading shorter forms of content, which can limit the development of deeper comprehension and analytical reading skills.
Through carefully selected text excerpts and guided discussion, students learn to engage with more sophisticated material, expand their vocabulary, improve written and verbal expression, and build the reading foundation required for success in selective schools and beyond.
Academic tutoring at XellED is designed to strengthen core subject understanding, close learning gaps, and build long-term academic confidence across english, mathematics, and reasoning-based subjects. Unlike exam-focused revision alone, our one-on-one approach develops deep conceptual clarity, structured thinking, and independent problem-solving skills that support sustained academic progress.
Our tutoring programme is highly personalised, adapting to each student’s current level, school curriculum, and future academic goals. Lessons focus on strengthening weak areas, reinforcing classroom learning, and developing the skills required for success in competitive school environments and standardised assessments.
Students are supported through clear explanations, guided practice, and consistent feedback, ensuring measurable improvement in both accuracy and confidence over time.
