Kevin runs UK boarding placements for BestPeopleDo from London. The UK independent-school market is large, stratified, and operated on registration deadlines that international families regularly miss — Kevin's role exists precisely because navigating Eton's pre-11 registration cutoff, or Sevenoaks's IB Diploma application timeline, is a different problem from understanding Swiss boarding admissions.
He spent eight years inside two top UK boarding schools before moving into family-side advisory work. That practitioner background means he reads admissions decisions the way schools actually make them — not the way external rankings suggest they're made. When a family asks 'is my child competitive at Charterhouse?' he can answer with reference to current cohort composition and the specific subjective criteria that play out in their interview process.
Kevin's work includes the post-acceptance phase that most agencies skip: visa coordination, term-time travel logistics, exeat planning, half-term arrangements, and the conversation with schools when something is going wrong in a child's first term. The structure he and Dilek have built together routes the early conversation through Istanbul and the post-acceptance UK operations through London.
Beyond UK boarding, Kevin handles UCAS (UK university) applications for BestPeopleDo families whose children are graduating from our placed cohort — closing the loop from age-13 placement to age-18 university admission as a single advisory practice.
