Supporting students with expert care and guidance
About us
At London Education Guardians, we provide international students with the highest level of support, care, and guidance while they study in the UK.

Meet Mark and family
Hello, I’m Mark and I founded London Education Guardians to bring together two passions of mine: British independent education, and working with international families. I have spent my career in the education sector, working for a number of leading international, senior, and prep boarding schools, and developing relationships with school Heads, house parents, and agents.
I am married to Anastasia and between us we have three children, all of whom have progressed through the British education system and on to university. When you entrust your children to us at London Education Guardians they will be treated as ‘family’.
We live in Surrey, close to London and the airports of Heathrow and Gatwick. And our national netwrok of trusted associates means we can offer guardianship services to students at schools all over the country.
We know that sending your child to a school in the UK is a big step - hugely exciting, but also a little bit scary! Don’t worry, our role is to support you at every step of the way and ensure you and your child receive dedicated support that is tailored to your needs.

“They do their job so well. We hired them at the most difficult period when Alexander was ill and there were so many miscommunications with the school, and I simply do not know what we’d do without them.”

Melodie’s homestay experience with us
“I feel really lucky to have stayed with this host family. They are all very kind and caring, and they always made me feel safe and comfortable. They looked after me, but also gave me my own space and freedom.
They were also really supportive during my application season, which meant a lot to me. The food at home was always lovely, with fresh fruit, cakes, and lots of nice meals. I also really enjoyed sitting in the garden during the summer.
This has been a really special experience, and felt like a warm and caring home which I will truly miss.”
我很幸运能住在这个寄宿家庭。他们人都特别好，每次我来都对我非常得关心，平时他们的照顾很周到，但也会给我很多自己的空间，所以我在这里住得很自在像自己家里一样。
他们在我申请大学的时候也给了我很多支持和鼓励，很大程度上减小了我申请季的压力。女主人做的饭很好吃，而且经常有水果、冰淇淋和自己做的蛋糕，也会有零食。我最喜欢的是夏天的时候坐在后院里晒太阳，有一个很可爱温馨的阳光房也很舒服。
这段经历对我来说很特别，感觉像我在英国的家，我会很想念这里的一切。
