No recommendations but wanted to say that 8 is too young to start imo. Having a tutor for 1 year through Y5 is standard, 3 years of tutoring for a specific exam will be a real grind. If they can’t pass after 1 year it’s probably not the right place for them.

You can buy bonds books or similar to start at younger age groups if you wanted to do a bit from home earlier.

agree with pp, 8 does seem quite young for a formal tutor. we didn't start proper tutoring til Y5. in the meantime bond books are decent for basics, and we've also been using ace 11+ at home, it's like an online version of the bond books but adapts to what he's weak on. worth trying their diagnostic to see where he's at (https://www.ace11plus.org/diagnostic)
