Introducing our 7 Plus and 8 plus Tutors in London and Online

At primary level, 7+ and 8+ examinations determine school entry for children going into Years 3 and 4 respectively and are carried out by many of the top London day schools.

The examinations include papers in Maths, English and Reasoning, covering a broad sweep of subjects in the primary curriculum. Top schools often use their own examination papers, so having a tutor with specific experience of the schools in question can be a real advantage.

Our specialist tutors have an excellent track record of success, and they nurture a child’s strengths, as well as recognising and addressing any weaknesses.

Expert Tuition Designed for Your Child

Tuition with Ivy Education is designed around each student, and tutors efficiently address topics and concepts that have not yet been fully understood. We have many highly qualified and experienced Entrance Exam tutors, specialising in 7+ and 8+ English, Maths and Reasoning.

In Year 2 and Year 3, students might participate in 7+ and 8+ exams for entry to Prep schools

There are papers in Maths, English, and Reasoning, but there is variation across unique papers created by the London Day Schools. Our 7 plus and 8 plus tutors can cover every area of the primary syllabus to prepare students for these exams, whilst tailoring their approach to specific students and the schools they are targeting. We work hard to match children with tutors who will be able to give specialised knowledge based on that child’s exacting needs.

Our tutors have extensive experience and a comprehensive knowledge of the entry requirements for different schools

We have had the pleasure of seeing 7+ and 8+ students succeed in gaining entry to schools such as Alleyn’s, Dulwich College, Harrodian, KCS Wimbledon, Latymer Prep, St. Paul’s Prep and Westminster Under.

You can also see a full list of schools we have prepared students for in the schools advice section of our website.

When should you start preparing for these exams?

As a general rule of thumb, students will start preparing for these exams approximately 12 months before exam dates. This seems like a long time, however, it is best to have tuition less intensively over a longer period of time. This will allow the student to work on gaps in their knowledge before graduating to exam focused work, honing their exam technique.

For an accurate lead time, we recommend taking one of our assessments to isolate strengths and weaknesses and benchmark your child against other students targeting the same schools.
