Three of the tutors your child could work with. The hiring bar behind them: every tutor holds a degree from a G5 university — Oxbridge included — or has taught at one. No exceptions. We match your child with the right subject specialist at enrolment.
Four programmes. One standard: tutors from the G5 only.

The first step is free
Start small. Commit when it's earned.
- Free first consultation — a straight read on your child's chances
- Strategy consultation — a deeper dive when you want one: your child's course list and plan, mapped in writing (£250, credited)
- Trial lesson — try a session before you commit. A single hour, billed normally. No programme, no obligation
The road to a 2027 offer — six stages, one deadline.
Stage 01 · First contact
Today
One WhatsApp message
School year, subjects, predicted grades. A reply in minutes, either way.
What happens after you message →Stage 02 · The straight read
Free
A consultation with the founders
Not a salesperson. An honest read on your child's chances — and if we don't believe we can place them, we say so and don't take your money.
Who takes the call →Stage 03 · The strategy map
Before any programme begins
Course list and positioning, in writing
A deeper strategy consultation maps your child's course list, university selection and positioning into a written plan — the document the rest of the programme executes against. £250, credited in full on enrolment.
Stage 04 · The build
Summer 2026
Specialist matched, heavy lifting begins
Published fees and terms in writing, then your child is matched with their subject specialist. Weekly sessions: the personal statement drafted and redrafted for the three-question format — and for medicine, structured UCAT preparation while the test runs July to September.
Every fee in writing →Stage 05 · Submission
September 2026
The application goes in
UCAS opens 1 September. The complete file — statement final, choices locked — goes in ahead of the rush.

Oxford, Cambridge & Medicine close
The fixed point the whole programme works back from. All other courses close 13 January 2027.
Stage 06 · The interview room
November 2026 – spring 2027
Interviews, offers — then we meet them
Mock interviews with tutors who have sat on the other side of the table. Offers land through the spring; then we work with your child to meet the grades.
We only take students we believe we can place.
If your child's predicted grades don't put a G5 offer within honest reach yet, we will say so at the door, tell you what would need to change, and not take your money. A firm that says no for a living is a firm whose yes means something.
We are paid by you, and only you. Much of this market runs on commission from universities and institutions — the adviser is the seller's agent, not yours. We work for your family: an honest read first, specialists on the work after.
Two founders. One path: Hong Kong to the G5.
Ronnie Tse
Managing Director · Co-founder
Concord College → King's College London
Takes every first consultation personally.
Louis Tang
Head of UK University Admissions · Co-founder
Concord College → Imperial College London
Leads programme delivery and tutor standards.
Both founders came through Concord College — a school Hong Kong parents know for its results — and on to King's and Imperial. They built Flintstrike around specialists: the Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial graduates who make the difference between a strong candidate and an admitted one.
The name is literal. Strike flint, and you get a spark. Take a bright mind, put the right specialist against it at the right moment, and it catches. That is the whole company: excellence in who we hire, and in where our students end up.
Straight answers, including the awkward ones.
What's your track record?
Our tutors have collectively secured 12+ Oxford & Cambridge offers and 70+ London university offers — and since 2023, every G5 applicant Flintstrike has taken has received a G5 offer. Selected cases, named with consent, are on the Results page.
Why would you reject my child?
Because we only take students whose predicted grades put a G5 offer within honest reach. If that's not your child yet, we'll tell you what would need to change and when to come back. We'd rather lose a fee than mislead a family.
How much does it cost?
Every fee is published on the pricing page — most of this market quotes only after a sales call. The first consultation is free, and you'll have terms in writing before you commit to anything.
What happens after I message you?
You'll get a reply within minutes from our assistant — it will ask for your child's school year, subjects and predicted grades, in English or Chinese, whichever you write in. Then you book a free consultation with one of the founders directly. No pressure at any step; the selectivity works both ways.
