The Principals

Albemarle’s Co-Principals, Beverley Mellon and James Eytle, had two key objectives when founding Albemarle: achieving excellent examination results, and success in placing students at the top UK universities. Today, these objectives are as valid as ever and both Beverley and James maintain a hands-on approach, teaching classes themselves.

The two Co-Principals act as personal mentors to students, overseeing their study programmes and offering advice on degree courses and career goals. They take personal responsibility for ensuring that students achieve a place at a university that best suits their needs and help prepare them for their chosen career. They liaise with parents, university deans and professionals from a wide variety of industries to ensure that students benefit from a range of opinions.
