Knowing that Richmond parents employ tutors is one thing. Getting them to part with names and contact details is quite another, particularly when it comes to preparation for 11-plus exams and especially where grammar schools are concerned.

The Kingston grammar schools are, of course, a major draw in this area. They employ a two-stage assessment, the second part of which is papers in English and maths. The vast majority of applicants sign up for tuition in some form despite the schools meekly claiming it isn’t necessary. While hiring a tutor won’t guarantee success (and their realistic if tactful feedback is always worth listening to), they can help get children used to timed papers and different question formats.

With in-depth reviews of 60 tutor firms, many in London, The Good Schools Guide is a good place to start. Firms preparing for entrance to schools in or close to Richmond include Bright Light Education, Harrison Allen and Owl Tutors.
