hi all,

I am looking for a tutor for 8 plus as I have to move my son out of his current school (he is being bullied which is not being addressed by the school and is bored in class as the teacher has to focus on the other children who are struggling with aspects of classwork). We live in Twickenham/St Margarets/Richmond area.

Hi mum's

I have been a tutor for the past 5 years specialising in teaching Maths and some English Language.

Ive recently started setting up a tutoring agency so have a group of tutors in my books. Lessons are per hour and at a very affordable and reasonable rate. All tutors have had experience and have degrees in their subjects.

If you are interested please reply to this message.

Kindest Regards

Lisa

Not at all impressed by a tutor touting for business who uses an apostrophe in a plural!

I can recommend an excellent 11 Plus/ Common Entrance tutor.

His e mail address is scholarlyachievement @gmail.com

Hes an excellent teacher and motivates/ ensures his pupils reach their full academic ability.

Should you contact him mention my name. Hes tutored all 3 of my sons.

"Do you really want your kid to answer - because you have cool outdoor toys. Its like a job interview. Are you really going to wait to be asked why you want that job BEFORE you start to think of an answer?"

I'm not about this. I would think that that would be an entirely appropriate answer from a 6/7yo! A skilled teacher could use an answer like that as a starting point for talking about interest in sport or what sort of games they enjoy. But I can see the point of making sure that your child is used to speaking to unfamiliar adults, and doesn't mutter or get distracted and start wondering round the room fiddling with things (as my 7yo would probably do).

If your child is going to be doing an exam, it would seem to make sense to have a bit of practice on exam technique (i.e. showing your working, and not just staring into space for the rest of the test if you get stuck on a question). It would also be a good idea to look at the ks1 syllabus and working on any areas of weakness at home for 10 minutes a day or so. Thankfully the schools round here (not London) are much more informal in assessments at this age, and tend just to invite children for a chat with the head, and a taster day.

I used Hippocrene on recommendation of this thread and my tutor has been nothing short of miraculous, so thanks to those who suggested it. When I hover outside the door (Is it just me who does this?) it sounds as though they're having fun which is a far cry from how my own Maths tutorials used to be. They've also given me questions to work through each day with DS to 'keep up momentum' and he's not resistant to it because it comes from someone he trusts who isn't me. I know DS has friends with tutors because casual references are made to 'the tutor coming on Saturdays' etc but I didn't feel I could ask for names...... We've yet to see whether it will get him into the school he's aiming for but it's already made a huge difference to his Maths and Maths confidence. I think a lot less of the (state) school he's at now where they really haven't prepared him for the types of questions he'll be doing in the admissions exam. Has anyone else had similar experiences? I was half hoping to not be impressed by the private tutors so I could merrily carry on without the expense but alas!

Staying out of the debate. Just for info, I am a tutor in entral London and I do tutor children for 7+. I am not offering my services, but I use an excellent agency that I can recommend highly. Osborne Cawkwell.

Hi everyone,

I am very interested in your 7+ tutor debate. I am a KS2 teacher and am familiar with 11+ prep, but only just getting my head round the idea that parents are looking for 7+ preparation help. Having taught both age groups, I would argue that tutoring at a younger age is not harmful, if you have a good tutor and if the child is enjoying the process. If it feels pushy, then its just not fair! I see no problem with preparation for exams and interviews which is using and building on current knowledge, but when parents or teachers are going over and over concepts to force additional learning, the children can become burnt out. I've seen this happen to kids I teach.

So, with that in mind, has anyone had a good experience with outside help for 7+? What should I recommend to parents? Should I add 7+ tuition prep to what I offer for tuition?

Thanks for your insight.

Hello There,

I tried to sent you msgs many times this morning but there was a problem with my iPad I guess! I think I couldn't send them! If you received 5-6 msgs from myself, sorry for that!

Im looking for tutors for 7+ exams for Kings College and Dulwich college Mainly.

Would it be possible for you to recommend a tutor for my 6 year old in year one? He goes to a private school in Oxshott.

Many Thanks,
