Jed B
Jed is a fantastic coach. My son's interest in creative writing has step changed since Jed started tutoring him. Jed has a highly supportive but also a challenging style that my son responds to very well. Jed will bring his own resources to the lesson catered to the needs of the child. He will bring further material to inspire and show 'what great looks like'. His online interaction is smooth and his live corrections are done well.
Jed has been very flexible and reasonable around scheduling.
For anyone looking for a great tutor of English, Jed is 5 stars!

asked questions
See all FAQs
Do your tutors have experience with the Harrow Test and ISEB Common Pre-Test?
Yes, at Tutorful, many of our tutors are specialists in preparing students for specific school entrance exams, including the unique format of the Harrow Test and the ISEB Common Pre-Test; you can see each tutor’s experience and reviews on their profile.
What if we don't click with our chosen Harrow admissions tutor?
We want to ensure you find the perfect fit for your child. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you're not completely satisfied after the first session, just email support@tutorful.co.uk, and we will cover the cost of that lesson.
Can we cover other subjects too?
Absolutely! While you might be focusing on admissions preparation for now, many of our tutors are also qualified to tutor core subjects like Maths and English, to ensure your son's overall academic profile is as strong as possible.
How can a tutor help with the Harrow interview stage?
Our tutors help by conducting mock interviews to simulate the real experience. They work with your son to help him articulate his thoughts clearly, discuss his passions and achievements with confidence, and demonstrate the character and intellectual curiosity Harrow looks for.
How do you select your tutors for competitive school admissions?
Our selection process is extremely rigorous; we only accept 1 in 8 applicants, and our tutors with experience in competitive school admissions are further vetted for their specific track record and understanding of the nuances of entrance exams like the Harrow Test.
When is the best time to start tutoring for Harrow School Year 9 entry?
Many parents begin preparation in Year 6 or Year 7, as it allows plenty of time to build core academic skills for the ISEB Pre-Test in Year 6 or 7, and then focus on the specifics of the Harrow Test and interview technique in Year 8. However, a tutor can create an effective plan at any stage.
What subjects are covered in the Harrow Test?
The Harrow Test typically includes an English and a Mathematics paper, both of which are designed to be challenging and assess a candidate's natural academic ability and thinking skills. Some candidates may also sit a third paper depending on their circumstances.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard length of a tutoring session is one hour, which is highly effective for maintaining focus and covering material in depth. You can discuss the ideal frequency and duration with your chosen tutor to create a plan that works best for your son.
How much do Harrow admissions tutors cost?
Tutor prices vary based on their experience and demand. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
Can a tutor help if my son is feeling very anxious about the process?
Yes, this is a key benefit of one-to-one tutoring; our tutors are experienced in building confidence and reducing anxiety for high-pressure admissions processes. They create a supportive, encouraging environment where your son can ask questions freely and overcome challenges at his own pace.
My son has strong extracurriculars. How can a tutor help showcase them?
Our tutors can’t be a specialist in every extra curricular, but they are experts at teaching your son to articulate his passions during an interview, and explain what he has learned from his interests and passions; a key part of the assessment.
