Feedback on our 7 plus tutors
"Judith is a passionate and caring teacher. My daughter describes her as very kind and fun. But make no mistake, Judith produces results too. I can see the change happening in my daughter's confidence and academic skills throughout the year. In the completive London 7+ assessments, my daughter was able to pass several rounds of tests and finally secured a place in the school of our choice. Judith's lessons are well structured with clear milestones in mind. She also brings a wide range of topics and conversation into lessons. So my daughter learnt many interesting things beyond the curriculum, and she now sees Judith as her role model."
Mother of 7+ student"My daughter loves Millie and she managed to prepare her, bearing in mind that she is not at a school that prepares for the 7+, successfully to pass the examinations to Highgate and Latymer."

What’s included in our 7 plus tuition?
Exam skills are especially important at this age level, as more often than not this is the first time a child will have sat a proper examination. It is therefore not only very important that your child is familiar with the content required for each exam, but also that they develop the following exam skills:
- Ability to work under time conditions
- Ability to write in full sentences and in full paragraphs
- Ability to write neatly
- Ability to show mathematical working
Our 7 plus tutors will work with your child to develop these skills and to help your child perform at their best, building academic resilience and life-long intellectual curiosity.
At 7 plus we provide comprehensive tuition covering the core curriculum content for Maths, English, Verbal and Non Verbal Reasoning along with test practice and honing of exam technique through the use of past papers and interview preparation.
When should I start preparing for the 7 plus exams?
The 7 plus is a competitive exam for many of the schools who offer it and thoughtful preparation ahead of the exam is often advisable.
