Where our tutors studied.
Where our students are going.
We hire exclusively from these five, the same five your child is applying to. Every tutor holds a degree from one, or has taught at one. Nobody here coaches an application they haven't already won.
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
- Trial lesson: try a session before you commit. A single hour, billed normally. No programme, no obligation
The road to a G5 offer.
Everything before your deadline is preparation. Everything after it is conversion. For 2027 entry (Year 13 now), which date applies depends on the course: 15 October 2026 for Oxford, Cambridge and Medicine, 13 January 2027 for every other G5 course.

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.
Two founders,
from Hong Kong to London.
Ronnie Tse
Managing DirectorCo-founder
Concord College → King's College London
Leads the firm and family consultations.
Louis Tang
Head of UK University AdmissionsCo-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: tutors educated at Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial, 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 from 2023 to 2026, 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 12 hours 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.
