Our Tutors

What you can expect from our tutors

Our tutors are more than subject specialists — they are educators who understand the emotional world of young learners. Many have taught in top independent schools and bring deep knowledge of what’s expected at 7+, both academically and developmentally.

Each tutor is matched thoughtfully with your child to ensure a strong personal rapport and effective learning dynamic. Before tuition begins, we typically carry out a short informal assessment to understand your child’s strengths, areas for growth, and natural learning style. This allows us to design a bespoke plan that grows with them.

Your 7+ questions answered

  • What's included in your 7+ preparation programme?

    Beyond one-to-one tuition, we provide all necessary practice materials, past papers, progress reports, and access to our examination centre for mock assessments. We also offer guidance on school selection and application strategy as part of our comprehensive approach.

  • How do you ensure my child doesn't become overwhelmed by exam pressure?

    We take a nurturing, confidence-first approach with young learners. Our tutors are trained to recognise signs of stress and adjust their teaching accordingly, ensuring preparation remains enjoyable and age-appropriate while building genuine academic confidence.

  • Can you accommodate our family's schedule and location?

    Absolutely. We offer flexible scheduling including evenings and weekends, with tutoring available at your home, our Lions Campus, or online. For internationally mobile families, our travelling tutors can provide seamless continuity wherever you are in the world.

  • What results do you typically achieve for 7+ students?

    Our 7+ students consistently secure places at their first-choice schools, including London’s most competitive prep schools. We focus on developing genuine academic ability rather than just exam technique, ensuring your child thrives once they begin at their new school.

  • When should we start preparing for the 7+?

    We typically recommend starting 9–12 months ahead of the exam, allowing time for confidence building before shifting focus to exam technique. However, we can tailor tuition to any timeframe.

As first-time parents navigating London's prep school landscape, we felt completely out of our depth. Lionheart didn't just prepare our son for his exams - they guided us through the entire process with such expertise and care. The tutor understood exactly how to engage a energetic six-year-old while building the academic foundations he needed.

Lionheart didn’t just prepare my son for the exam — they helped him feel confident in his own abilities. By the time he walked out of his 7+ interview, he had a big grin on his face. We were thrilled to receive offers from both schools we applied to.

Sophie, Parent of 7+ student

When we started with Lionheart, our daughter was bright but lacked confidence in formal learning situations. The transformation over eight months was remarkable - not just academically, but in her belief in herself. She walked into her entrance exams with genuine excitement rather than anxiety. We couldn't be more grateful for the patient, expert guidance that helped her secure her place.
