Jacob Shephard

Education Consultant - 11+ & 13+

Jacob joined Winterwood in 2019, and now helps to manage our 11+ and 13+ entrance exam students.  Jacob oversees our mock exam programme, takes educational assessments, and helps to appraise progress by organising reassessments and bespoke mock exams for our entrance exam students.

Jacob has worked in the industry since 2014, and has over ten years’ experience in the industry.  He has helped oversee preparation for hundreds of students applying to very academically competitive schools, such as St Paul’s Boys’, Westminster, King’s College and Dulwich College.

Jacob is available for in person as well as online one-to-one tuition, and he is happy to travel with families on placements over the school holidays.  Jacob also leads the girl’s 11+ reasoning and exam group courses at our Winterwood London training studio.

“My daughter has been attending Jacob’s weekly reasoning groups alongside other 11+ peers. She looks forward to the group sessions each week, she is motivated and has made friends. We have found that with a combination of Jacob’s teaching and a group environment her engagement with 11+ preparation has significantly increased.”

“Jacob was a mixture of authority figure and friendly face, engaging with our son both on an educational level and taking the time to find out what inspires him outside of school. Our son was successful in his applications for all the five independent schools.”

“Jacob is extremely methodical and thorough and I know my daughter is in the best teaching hands. He always takes time to explain the details of the lesson to me and his lesson reports are written almost real time which is extremely helpful and highlights how diligent he is. He has been an immense support to my daughter.”
