IGNITE THE LOVE OF LEARNING
UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL IN EVERY CHILD
Fortis definition Latin word meaning Strong.
Fortis was founded by visionary educator, Lisa Powell, to create an education that allows all children to believe in and achieve their potential.
The school and university entrance examination landscape is highly competitive where the chance of offer is as low as 3.2%. Our exceptional track record is the result of rigorous teaching and learning that also develops the mental edge necessary to handle the pressures.
This powerful pedagogy of meticulous academics fused with growth mindset skills, self-belief, resilience, managing stress, goal setting and metacognition is at the core of Fortis and our students’ success.
Supporting children in the UK and internationally through all stages of their school and university journeys.

Fortis Education takes a holistic view and understands the attitude, commitment and academic pressures that come with examinations and the demands at top schools.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"We have known Lisa for a year and a half during which she prepared our daughter for the English part of the 11+ exams. Our daughter not only received offers from the top London day girls’ schools, but also won academic scholarships with specific mentions of her strong performance in English (her least favourite subject prior to working with Lisa!)" - Mrs E, 7+ and 11+ parent chose St Paul’s and St Paul’s Girls Schools
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
We asked Lisa to help our son with English, in particular, creative writing and comprehension and, within a few weeks, we saw immediate improvements. Not only was she able to elevate his standards in the short time they were together, it is now one of his strengths and something he loves to do. We were absolutely delighted when he exceeded our expectations and received offers from Westminster Under and St Paul’s Junior. - Mrs F, parent 8+, 11+ and 13+
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"Lisa is passionate about the wellbeing of students, and she teaches them things beyond the curriculum such as growth mindset, study skills, memory, metacognition, stress management, goal setting strategies, gratitude and so much more! She wants them to love learning for life and to believe in themselves." - Dr T, Year 4 parent
