My daughter has recently finished Year 4 and we are looking for a maths tutor who specialises in 11+ entry to St Paul’s Girls and Westminster as our top targets, but also the other Hammersmith schools as well.

I think we would prefer face to face (SW London) but could be open to online too for the right tutor.

If you’ve had a particularly positive experience, I’d be grateful if you could please share their details (PM me), along with tips and guidance you may have. Thanks!

Hi we used a great maths tutor to get into St Paul’s Girls, I’ll pop the details over.

You might have better luck looking for a tutor on a UK directory of independent tutors. Not as many independent tutors are on here (I am one but I don't do what you are looking for in afraid). Most of the professional tutors on the major platforms like Tutorful/MyTutor/Tutorhunt are leaving or super expensive as they take commission/fees of 35-65% which pushes the prices up, so you should look for a commission free platform if price is a factor.
For your situation the data set (I wrote an article on this) says £30-£60/hr typical; £70-£120/hr for high-track grammar and private school prep, London and the South East run 20-40% above national rates.
Hope that helps.
