Private tutors in Highgate

Lessons at your own kitchen table

Your child’s tutor comes to you. Most families book the hour after school, while the day’s work is still fresh; others prefer early evening, once supper is on. Your tutor arrives having read the report from the previous lesson, teaches at the same table each week, and writes a new report you can read in the Parent Dashboard the same evening.

The tutor stays the same, week after week. Children settle faster when the person, the time and the routine are predictable, and predictability matters most for the anxious and the easily distracted. Because Highgate is a longer journey from our Gloucester Road base than the rest of our patch, we schedule these lessons in fixed weekly slots so travel time never eats into the hour — and many Highgate families run the same lessons online instead, for exactly this reason.

Entrance exams for North London schools

Families here are typically preparing for North London’s independent day schools, for pre-tests sat in Year 6, or for grammar schools within travelling distance: 7+, 8+, 11+ and interviews that reward a calm, articulate child over a heavily drilled one. We prepare children for these as exams: timed papers, error patterns identified and fixed week by week, and the steadiness to perform on the day.
