"My daughter was ‘full of it’ when she came off the call yesterday which was lovely. She said how she’d relaxed into it straight away and also said how amazing the online environment is. In fact she said to me she got more out of an hour with you yesterday than weeks with our local tutor or at school. Thank you! "

Maths represents an important component of the 8+ entrance assessments to most independent schools who have an 8+ entry. The 8+ Maths exam will predominantly cover core number skill as well as problem solving. Given the competitive nature of 8+ entrance tests thoughtful and targeted preparation is advisable. The 8+ tutors we work with have detailed knowledge of the different requirements of individual schools as well as experience of teaching at the 8+ level.
