The 8+ exams can feel like a lot of pressure, very early on. It’s natural to worry whether you’re doing enough, especially when you’re not sure what schools are looking for. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
Our Tutor Finder asks a few simple questions about your child and what they need help with. We then find a specialist 8+ tutor who can give them the right kind of support. Even when you can’t help with the subject, you can still help them.

Pete has been an amazing tutor for our Year 3 son. He really enjoys the lessons which are engaging with lots of fun educational games and lessons. Pete is well prepared for each lesson and follows up every lesson with verbal and written feedback for the parents as well as some homework to work on at home during the week. He's also very flexible and works around our schedule wherever he can. I would definitely recommend him.

A great teacher. He is teaching 2 of my kids aged 6 and 9. The kids love his teaching methods and both manage to stay focused for the hour which can be sometimes hard for kids to do.
I would highly recommend him to other to use.

Charlie G
My son started to prepare his 8+ exam with Charlie. Charlie asked many questions very kindly when they tried to understand some paragraph. This encouraged my son to find some right answer and think deeply. And he also tried to help my son's weakness part without any pressure. Hope my son can have more many lessons with him. Very good tutor.
