These foundational elements are crucial for a smooth transition into primary school, and they create a solid base that will support your child through competitive entry exams like the 7+ and 11+, and throughout their entire academic journey and beyond.

Rachael T
Rachael has been teaching my son, who recently started reception, and her impact has been remarkable. She quickly identified the areas where he needed extra support and has been incredibly intentional in tailoring her lessons. The detailed feedback she provides is invaluable, helping us understand how to support him effectively at home. My son genuinely looks forward to his classes with her, and although I was initially concerned about his ability to focus during an online session, he now asks eagerly every day if he'll be seeing Mrs Rachael again.

asked questions
See all FAQs
Can an Early Years tutor help prepare my child for competitive Hampstead pre-preps like The Hall or Heathside?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors understand the specific expectations for entry into highly regarded schools like The Hall, Heathside, or Sarum Hall. They can focus on developing the early literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional skills your child needs to thrive in these environments, building a strong and confident foundation for future stages like the 7+ and 11+.
How can tutoring support my child's development for future academic hurdles like the 7+ or 11+ in Hampstead?
While Early Years tutoring focuses on foundational skills, it directly impacts your child's readiness for later, more formal assessments. Tutors can help your child develop strong early reading, writing, and mathematical understanding, alongside critical thinking and confidence – all vital components for success in competitive 7+ and 11+ exams for schools like Highgate or UCS.
Is Early Years tutoring only for academic readiness, or can it help with other skills?
While academic readiness for primary school is a key focus, our tutors can also support broader development. This can include fine motor skills, social interaction, creative play, early language exposure, or even developing problem-solving abilities, helping your child develop a wide range of essential skills and interests.
What if my child doesn't get along with their Early Years tutor?

Tutors use virtual whiteboards, shared documents, and other digital tools to make lessons fun and effective, often incorporating games, stories, and visual aids to keep your child focused and learning from the comfort of home.
What if my child is already doing well, can a tutor still help?
Yes, definitely! A tutor can provide enriching experiences and stretch for children who are already excelling. They can introduce new concepts, delve deeper into areas of interest, or even introduce new skills, ensuring your child remains challenged, engaged, and continues to develop their full potential.
How flexible is online tutoring for our family's schedule?
