7+, 9+, 11+ and 13+ Entrance Tutoring
Carefully Selected Tutors Matched to Your Needs
Our entrance tutors are available globally online and in-person in London. All of our tutors are Oxford or Cambridge graduates with over five years’ experience in the education sector, and every tutor is Enhanced DBS checked. We take a structured approach, beginning with an assessment of each child’s strengths and areas for development, and offering guidance as to which independent schools would be the most suitable. We prepare students for entry to schools such as Harrow, Eton, St Paul’s and Westminster, among others.
7+ and 9+ Entrance
Gentle, structured preparation for the 7+ and 9+ entrance assessments. Our tutors build strong foundations in English and Maths, developing reading, comprehension, creative writing and numeracy, alongside verbal and non-verbal reasoning where a school’s assessment requires it. Lessons are carefully planned to build confidence and enjoyment, so that each child approaches their assessments feeling calm and well prepared.
11+ Entrance
Comprehensive preparation for 11+ entrance examinations in English, Maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning. Our tutors are experienced with the school entrance examinations and the structured preparation required for these individual tests, focusing on examination technique, timing and a secure understanding of every topic area.
13+ Entrance (including Pre-Tests)
Tailored preparation for 13+ entrance examinations, including pre-tests where a school requires them. Our tutors support students across English, Maths and reasoning, working through the content and style of each school’s assessments and developing the examination technique needed to perform at their best.
Interview Preparation
Interviews often form part of the entrance process for the top independent schools. Our specialist tutors help each child add confidence, fluency and detail to their responses, through mock interview practice and personalised feedback. Find out more about our Interview Preparation service.
Assessment and Ongoing Support
Every student begins with an individual assessment, helping us identify their strengths and areas for development and providing the basis for school placement and examination goals. From this, we create a personalised plan and match your child with the tutor best suited to help them, with detailed monthly reviews of their progress. Learn more about our Academic Overview Reports.
