Homework support, one-to-one tutoring and small groups for children from Reception to Year 6. Clear explanations, patient practice and progress you can see in their books.
Get an end-of-term update on your child's progress.
Every child starts with a short assessment, so lessons begin where they are.
A calm space to get homework done properly. We check understanding, fix gaps as they appear and build habits that make evenings at home easier.
Lessons built around one child. Best for catching up, stretching ahead, building confidence or preparing for entrance exams.
Children learn alongside friends in a small, focused class. It builds confidence and steady practice, often at a lower cost per child.
Children work from carefully made practice packs, including papers in the style of GL Assessment, ISEB and consortium entrance exams, each with model answers so progress is easy to check at home.
Primary school moves fast. Here is what we work on in Maths and English in each year group.

English: longer, more detailed writing, joined-up handwriting and reading for meaning.
Maths: tables to 12 × 12 at speed for the Multiplication Tables Check, plus division, measures and reasoning.
English: grammar, punctuation, vocabulary and comprehension beyond the literal.
Maths: decimals, percentages, ratio, fractions and multi-step problems.
English: inference, vocabulary, creative and persuasive writing, stronger spelling.
Maths: arithmetic and reasoning papers, speed and accuracy, tricky multi-step problems.

Selective schools test in different ways. We match practice to the exam your child will sit, and build timing, technique and confidence along the way.
Independent schools often assess children in Year 2 for a Year 3 place. Assessments cover maths and English, are often joined by reasoning, and may include a short interview or group activity.
Grammar and independent schools use the 11+ for Year 7 entry. Preparation usually runs from Year 5 into Year 6.
Some schools test how quickly a child picks up a new language, using an invented one, so no prior knowledge is needed.
Some schools test musical potential for music places and scholarships, whether or not a child plays an instrument yet.
Many selective independent schools set their own papers, aptitude tests and scholarship assessments. We prepare children for the style of test their school uses.
Formats, dates and ages differ by school, so check each school's admissions page. We are happy to help you plan the timeline for your child.
Tell us about your child, their school and what you would like to change.
A short, friendly check shows what is secure and what needs work.

Children from Reception to Year 6. Groups are organised by year and level so everyone works at the right pace.
One-to-one suits catching up, stretching ahead or exam preparation, because every minute is about your child. Groups suit children who enjoy learning with others and need steady practice. After the baseline assessment we will tell you which we recommend.
Yes. We prepare children with timed practice, exam technique and papers in the style used by GL Assessment, ISEB and consortium schools.
No. Lessons start with work your child can succeed at, then build up. Small steps and quick, specific praise make a big difference.
Get in touch for an introductory chat. We will arrange a baseline assessment and talk through the options that suit your child.
Tell us your child's year group and what you would like help with. We will reply with available times and suggest the best way to start.
