We used Tayberry tuition for the UKMT and the Cambridge exams - they have specialist tutors .and superb customer service

If your child needs extra tutoring for an Olympiad then they aren’t fit to be doing one in the first place.

My son has his ad maths teacher at school tutoring him at home (he's more than capable but has a chronic illness so misses a lot of school). You can always ask at his school whether any of the teachers tutor in their spare time? Quite a number of the ones at our local school do and it helps because they know the syllabus and can access test results/papers for tailored tuition

That’s a really good idea @ArtificialStupidity but I’m after a weekend lesson and I would just be too mortified to ask!

Apologies, but you are quite wrong about this. One-to-one tutoring for enrichment is extremely beneficial even if the child isn’t successful at the Olympiad stage. Why shouldn’t a parent outsource this task to a tutor in the (likely) event that they can’t help the child to prepare themselves?

in the world of mathematicians I think this is the most irrelevant hill you could possibly die on.
