Entrance Exams

At Hyde Tutoring we help students gain admission to top private and grammar schools. With our deep knowledge of the exam processes, we ensure that your child is not only well-prepared but also confident and relaxed when the big day arrives. This invaluable reassurance takes the pressure off parents, who often feel uninformed or overwhelmed by the complexities of the exam journey.

We tutor for all the major private and grammar schools, including, but not limited to, St Paul’s, King’s College Wimbledon, Latymer Upper, City of London, Francis Holland, Harrodian, and Westminster. Our experienced tutors guide families through each school’s entry criteria, advising on the best choices for your child based on their academic strengths and interests. We help parents understand the admissions process, so everyone feels fully informed and prepared.

Our Entrance Exam Focus:

  • English: Developing strong comprehension, writing, grammar, and vocabulary skills is at the heart of our English tuition. Our approach ensures students are ready for both written assessments and interview scenarios.
  • Maths: From basic arithmetic to problem-solving and reasoning, our maths tutors focus on strengthening core skills, so children can excel in the exam’s numerical challenges.
  • Reasoning: Our tailored strategies help students develop their logical and critical thinking abilities, preparing them for verbal and non-verbal reasoning tasks in the exam.

1:1 Tutoring and Online Group Lessons

For those seeking personalised support, we offer 1:1 tutoring designed to focus on your child’s unique strengths and weaknesses. Whether working through tricky exam questions or honing specific skills, our expert tutors give tailored guidance that maximises progress. We also provide term-time online group lessons for 10+ and 11+ students. These group lessons combine the benefit of collaborative learning with expert-led instruction, covering key areas such as English, maths, and reasoning in preparation for entrance exams. The group setting also allows students to benefit from peer interaction, while the focused online format provides flexible learning options.

Holiday Revision Courses: Easter, Summer, and October Half-Term

In addition to our regular tutoring, we offer holiday revision courses during Easter, Summer, and October Half-Term. These courses are specifically designed for the 7+, 8+, 9+, 10+, and 11+ exams and provide an intensive yet fun and fast-paced environment for students to sharpen their skills.

Each course is between 3 to 5 days, with sessions available in the morning or afternoon for three hours each day. The courses cover a wide range of content, including mock exams, ensuring that your child is prepared for the real exam experience. These revision courses help consolidate what’s been learned during term time and ensure students are fully prepared for the challenges ahead.

Parents will receive detailed feedback at the end of each course, including revision tips and strategies for supporting their child’s exam prep moving forward.

At Hyde Tutoring, we are committed to providing the support your child needs to succeed in entrance exams. With a combination of 1:1 tutoring, term-time online group lessons, and holiday revision courses, we ensure your child is fully equipped to excel in their exams and approach them with confidence.
