We understand the importance of securing an adept entrance exam tutor with skills and insights to support you on your journey.
Working 1:1 with a skilled entrance exams tutor can have a profound impact
As entry to independent schools becomes more competitive, you want a team of education professionals on your side, guiding you and giving you the best possible entrance exam tutor, advice, and guidance in this area.
We offer family consultations on schools and the entrance examination process as well as introductions to experienced, trained tutors in this area.
Lessons can be both online or face-to-face.
7+, 11+, ISEB Pre-Test and the Kent 11+
The high standard you would expect from our agency is reflected in the quality of the entrance exam tutors we introduce you to.
It is important that students get enough time to learn the format, and the question types in all 4 areas so we suggest a year of tutoring would reach significant progress in all the skills required for entrance exams.
We want the best possible outcomes for your child and our tutors will suggest homework, provide reading lists and guide you in supporting your child between lessons.
In addition, tutors can provide practice with interview skills, practice interview questions and familiarise students with the format of their specific test.
Consultations on the Entrance Exam Process
If 1:1 tutoring is not for you, or you are unsure about how the process of 7+ or 11+ Independent School, or Grammar School entry works, then you can use our consultation service.
During the consultation, individual school requirements can be discussed, the entrance exam process, in general, will be illuminated and you will be given advice on what your child should be reading, where they need to be in maths, the vocabulary they need to know, familiarisation techniques for home-use and guidance on the best practice books for 7+ and 11+ entrance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which entrance exams do you support?
We prepare children for 11+, ISEB Common Pre-Test, 13+ Common Entrance, and independent school papers. Tutors use up-to-date syllabuses and school-specific materials so preparation feels targeted, calm and effective.
What does a typical entrance exam lesson look like?
Calm, structured and purposeful. We blend explicit teaching with short, timed tasks, immediate feedback and reflection. Your child learns strategies for tricky question types and exam timing – and we celebrate progress to keep motivation high.
Do you offer interview preparation?
Yes. We coach students in interview skills such as structured answers and active listening.
When should we start preparing for the 11+ or other entrance exams?
Most families begin 9 to 12 months before the exam. That said, we’ll meet you where you are – from gentle foundations in Year 4 to focused revision in the final term. We create a plan that fits your child’s confidence, pace and goals.
How do you assess my child and plan tuition?
We start with a baseline to identify strengths and gaps across maths, English, verbal and non-verbal reasoning. From there, we design a clear, step-by-step plan with mini targets, regular feedback and timed practice to build stamina and confidence.
