Our 7 Plus Tutors are experts in helping children pass what is one of the hardest exams a child will take before their A levels. Tutoring agencies who claim that an hour a week is enough are misleading parents. We have developed a programme delivered by our 7+ tutors that offers a more holistic, thorough and comprehensive approach to 7+ preparation comprising baseline Academic Assessments, 1-2-1 tuition, handwriting and dictation classes, mock exams, group holiday classes and interview practice. It is also vital to build up stamina over time, as the exams are at least two hours long and sometimes three hours long. Our classes are run out of Oakfield Prep School in Dulwich and Hampstead Parochial School in Hampstead and we also run them online. We rarely offer in home tuition as we find that children need the experience of a school setting to best succeed.
Our tutors are qualified teachers with experience of preparing children for the 7 Plus exam. However, we find this is not enough and so we have all our teachers go on our twelve stage 7 Plus Teacher Training programme. This ensures that they are familiar with the different elements of the 7 Plus and have the skills needed to rapidly accelerate curriculum acquisition and prepare for examination success.
We strongly recommend that you join our programme through buying our comprehensive package which will give you the right base in terms of tutoring, handwriting and dictation, mock exams and interview practice. You cannot start early enough for these tough exams and you are most likely to pass if you start in Reception but we do take children later. You can join our programme mid term, if we have spaces available, and we will pro rata the cost for you.
