Does My Child Need a 7 Plus Tutor?

Many parents wonder whether their child needs a tutor to prepare for the 7 Plus. While a small number of children may naturally perform brilliantly without any help, in our experience most learners benefit from some expert tuition to improve their core skills and develop solid exam technique.

If your child struggles with core subjects such as Maths or English, a tutor can provide targeted support. An experienced tutor will know the 7 Plus specification for your target schools and can identify gaps in your child’s knowledge. They will address these while introducing strategies that help your child approach learning with confidence and clarity.

The 7 Plus is highly competitive, especially for families aiming for places at top independent schools. A good 7 Plus tutor will provide tailored preparation, including mock exams, past papers, and bespoke exercises designed to meet the requirements of specific schools.

Parents often find it difficult to keep children engaged and enthusiastic when learning. A skilled tutor transforms learning into a fun and rewarding experience. Many of our students actively look forward to their lessons – and a happy child is a learning child!

Even very bright children don’t have an innate sense of good exam technique – time management, checking answers, and staying calm under pressure. Our tutors can coach your child in all of these. Very often, the best-performing children at 7 Plus level are those who have mastered exam technique.

What Is the 7 Plus?

The 7 Plus is an entrance exam used by many independent schools to assess children for admission into Year 3. Usually taken by children in the autumn or spring terms of Year 2, the 7 Plus focuses on Maths and English. Its purpose is to identify a child’s academic potential, problem-solving abilities, and readiness for the step up to prep school.

Typically, the 7 Plus exam includes written assessments and sometimes an interview. The English section focuses on the basics of spelling, punctuation and grammar, as well as comprehension and creative writing. The Maths paper tests arithmetic and, especially for more competitive schools, multi-step problem-solving.

While the format varies between schools, the overarching goal remains the same: to ensure that any children offered a place will be able to thrive in the new school’s academic environment.

The 7 Plus is often the first significant academic milestone for many children, and its competitive nature means that preparation is key. With the right support from an experienced 7 Plus tutor, children can build the skills and confidence needed to succeed while developing a lifelong love of learning.

Testimonials

“JK Educate supported our child through an initial assessment in Year 4 to tutoring and preparation for the 11+ exam. We found their advice useful and the teaching was perfect for getting our child through the process. We ended up getting the results that we wanted and couldn’t have done it without the support from JK Educate. Highly recommended”
