The School
- Cambridge Tutors College (CTC) is an international college that prepares young people for entry into prestigious universities, such as Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College, UCL and the London School of Economics. Set in an easily accessible location to the south of London, it offers a secure and attractive environment in which each student is encouraged to fulfi l his or her academic and personal potential.
- CTC was founded in 1958 by Roger Osborne, a graduate of Cambridge University. What began as a small tuition centre specialising in helping local boys prepare for entry into top public schools grew into one of the UK’s leading international colleges as CTC’s reputation for academic excellence spread. There are now around 25 countries represented on the student body.
- Small class sizes, careful monitoring of academic progress and weekly subject testing lie at the heart of CTC’s commitment to high academic standards. Expert guidance and support during the university application process also help to explain why so many CTC students succeed in securing places at leading universities.
- The exam results are consistently impressive. In 2012 62% of A Levels taken were awarded an A or A* grade with 52 students gaining 3 or 4 A/A* grades .5 students gained a place at an Oxbridge college.
