Why Early Years and Reception Matter
The early years and reception stage is a truly special time, laying the groundwork for all future learning. This stage nurtures your child's natural curiosity, develops essential social skills, and builds their confidence to explore new ideas. Of course, this is all alongside fundamental skills like learning to count and recognise shapes and colours. These core academic and real-life skills are crucial for a smooth transition into primary school, and create a solid base upon which your child can prepare for entry exams into competitive schools, like the 7+ and the 11+.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can an Early Years tutor help prepare my child for competitive Hampstead pre-preps like The Hall or Heathside?
Our tutors understand the specific expectations for entry into highly regarded schools like The Hall, Heathside, or Sarum Hall, and they can focus on developing the early literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional skills your child needs to thrive in these environments.
How can tutoring support my child's development for future academic hurdles like the 7+ or 11+ in Hampstead?
Early Years tutoring focuses on foundational skills that will directly impact 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 of these are 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?
Whilst 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.
What if my child doesn't get along with their Early Years tutor?
We want you and your child to feel completely comfortable, which is why we offer a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How flexible is online tutoring for our family's schedule?
