Martyn Birchall
Founder. British. Bucharest for more than 25 years.
I am British. I grew up in the elite British education system, and I spent a career in finance in London, Hong Kong and New York before moving to Romania in 1997.
I now divide my time between Bucharest and London. My son went to Eton College and then to Oxford University.
I know well the schools in Britain and Switzerland and visit often.
For the successful families in Romania I offer the best advice available to those who want to access these opportunities.
Fredel began from dinner-table questions with friends who had seen what I did for my own son and wanted the same opportunities for their children.
Each family works directly with Martyn Birchall.
TESTIMONIALS
This amazing achievement is one hundred per cent due to Mr Birchall. Daria was so fortunate to have received his guidance, advice and training, especially for the hardest part of the selection process: the interview. His support was crucial.
We put our trust in Mr Birchall to guide Daria further on her academic journey, so that she can achieve her next big dream regarding university. Thank you. Thanks to him, Daria can truly dream big now.
The process was highly professional, saving us time and ensuring the best choice. Communication was excellent, and Mr Birchall continued to support us even after our son began his studies in Britain.
Thanks to his dedication, our son is thriving in an environment that fosters both academic and personal growth.
For my children, I chose Martyn Birchall as a coach to guide them in selecting the right educational path. His support was invaluable.
I highly recommend his coaching to any parent seeking the best educational opportunities for their children.
Martyn works with a small number of families each year. Every child’s path is guided with attention, discretion and judgment. He ensures your family receive the full support that they deserve.
No standardised processes. No intermediary consultants. One person, alongside every family, from the first conversation to admission and beyond.
The journey
Perspective
Pastoral care
The most important questions about a school are not just about academic results, but about how it supports its pupils.
Teachers and mentors
A good school is revealed through the people who work directly with its pupils. The experience of the teachers, the way they teach, and their ability to understand the child in front of them make the real difference.
The finest among them do not settle for delivering information. They shape thinking, courage and independence.
The community
A child will be influenced not only by teachers, but also by peers, families and the culture of the school, which becomes their standard.
That is why community matters: how ambitious it is, how healthy, and how well it suits the child's personality.
Stability and continuity
Another essential indicator is the continuity within a school: how long teachers stay, and how strong the relationships are between pupils, staff and alumni.
A school with a solid community does not feel transactional. It feels like a place where people grow and belong.
There are excellent schools. And there is the right school for the right child.
