Recommendation for an experienced 11+ and 13+ tutor who is happy to work remotely

I'm looking for a recommendation for an 11+ and 13+ tutor who is happy to work remotely. I'm looking for a human rather than a virtual classroom, computer program or AI enabled set-up if possible.

I'm currently overseas for work and my children, DS10 and DD9 currently attend a very sporty but academically and musically mediocre private international school following the English curriculum. We're hoping to return to the UK in the next 18 months so I'm looking for a tutor who's happy to teach remotely and prepare the kids for a grammar or private school with selective entry.

My kids love school and are really happy but I think they are a bit "behind" academically. I can't tell if this is their innate ability level or the influence of the school which prioritizes social, team work and sporting skills mainly. Their teachers keep saying they are doing "fine".

So the tutor would be helpful to assess what the kids innate capabilities and potential are and help them progress, even if ultimately they don't pass the necessary exams for a grammar or selective private school and end up in a non-selective school.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations

Hi , I came across your post because I’ve recently been looking to take on a few additional 11+ students alongside my current tutoring work.
I’m a qualified primary school teacher with QTS and an experienced private tutor, and I’m currently working one-to-one with a child preparing for competitive independent school entry, including Westminster and Godolphin & Latymer.
I support children with English, maths, verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, comprehension, creative writing and exam technique, and I’m happy to work either in person in SW London or online.
If you’re still looking, I’d be very happy to chat privately about what you’re hoping for, my availability and rates.
