Fredel is redefining how families in Romania and across Europe access elite education and lifestyle learning. Founded by Martyn Birchall, an education expert, Fredel works with like-minded families who believe in investing early in the future of their children.
At its heart, Fredel is not just an educational consultancy — it is a community of families united by shared values: knowledge, mentorship, and global exposure. Its mission is clear and ambitious: building tomorrow’s elites through access, experience, and understanding.
The Three Pillars of Fredel
Fredel’s philosophy stands on three strategic pillars that together provide a holistic approach to elite education.
1. Access to Elite British Schools and International Universities
Why accept second best for your child?
Fredel offers unparalleled access to Britain’s leading institutions — from Eton College and Brighton College to Oxford and Cambridge — as well as US universities such as Harvard University.
With extensive insight into the admissions systems of top boarding schools and strong relationships with senior officials at leading schools and universities, Fredel helps families navigate every stage of the process — from school selection to interview preparation, personal statements and CV and cultural adaptation — ensuring students stand out among the world’s best.
Fredel’s success rate in school and university admissions is the highest in Romania.
2. Premium Mentoring and Human Skills Programmes
The Fredel Mentoring and Human Skills Programmes go far beyond academic preparation.
These programmes are unique in Romania and provide personal development and long-term mentorship for students with outstanding role models. Of the many programmes offered which include public speaking, entrepreneurship, visit to the Oxford Literary Festival. Our latest sporting programme is our Learn To Play Polo camp at the leading polo school in England.
Through this tailored approach, Fredel nurtures curiosity, discipline, resilience, and the confidence to thrive in highly competitive environments. For each family we offer a customised programme designed to fit your individual needs.
