7+ 8+ 10+ Tutors
Private Tutors for 7+, 8+, 10+ in London and Online
The 7+, 8+ and 10+ require children to demonstrate secure academic foundations, independent thinking and confidence under assessment conditions.
Our specialist 7+, 8+ tutors prepare pupils for competitive entrance examinations and interviews at leading independent schools. Support may include English, mathematics, reasoning, comprehension, creative writing and interview preparation, with teaching adapted carefully to the requirements of each target school.
We aim to prepare children thoroughly without placing unnecessary pressure on them, preserving confidence and enjoyment throughout the process.
School entrance preparation should reflect the child and the schools being considered. 7+, 8+, 10+, 11+ or 13+ applications are pathways to schools that require a child to sit common entrance exams and we are intentional about supporting families in order to help achieve desired outcomes.
7+ Tutors
The 7+ is an early entrance point, and preparation should remain appropriate for a young child. Depending on the school, assessments may consider reading, comprehension, writing, mathematics, reasoning and the way a child communicates during an interview or activity.
A good 7+ tutor strengthens the foundations behind the assessment: confident reading, vocabulary, accurate number work, clear expression, careful listening and the ability to explain simple ideas. Lessons should be engaging and purposeful rather than dominated by timed papers.
Telios considers the target schools, the child’s current development and the amount of preparation that is genuinely appropriate before recommending a tutor.

10+ Tutors
The 10+ is offered by a smaller number of independent schools and is commonly used for entry after Year 5. Requirements vary considerably, so families should confirm the school’s current assessment, interview and registration arrangements before preparation begins.
A 10+ tutor may support English, mathematics, reasoning, written accuracy and the confidence to work under timed conditions. The first priority is to identify any gaps in the underlying curriculum; practice material is most useful once the required knowledge and methods are secure.
Telios recommends support around the actual school route rather than treating the 10+ as a universal examination.
