Take the Stress Out of the 7+ Assessment – Start Now

The 7+ assessment can feel like a big step for both children and parents. It’s often a child’s first formal entrance exam experience, and it’s completely normal to worry about whether they’re “ready”, how much preparation is needed, and how to support them without creating pressure.

At East Dulwich Tutors, we believe 7+ preparation should be structured, supportive, and confidence-building – not overwhelming. Children perform best when they feel calm, capable, and familiar with what to expect.

7+ assessments typically include:

• English (reading comprehension, writing, phonics/spelling)

• Maths (number bonds, place value, basic operations, problem-solving)

• Reasoning or puzzle-style tasks

• Listening and following instructions

• Working with an unfamiliar adult/group tasks and interview

• 
  

Our sessions help children build strong foundations in reading, writing, and maths, while also developing exam skills like listening carefully, trying unfamiliar questions, and managing simple time pressures. We break learning into small, achievable steps so children experience success early and often.

Parents are supported too. We provide clear guidance on what to practise at home, how often to practise, and how to keep learning calm and positive. Short, regular routines beat long, stressful sessions every time.

Starting early makes a real difference. Children who build skills gradually and practise in a supportive environment tend to walk into 7+ assessments feeling more confident and less anxious – and confidence plays a huge role in performance.
