"2 out of 2!!! She is immensely pleased and proud of herself, as are we! She has a difficult decision to make…Thank you SO much for all of your help getting her through the assessments. The Private School Whisperer of Edinburgh strikes again!"

Exam Preparation with LS Tuition

At LS Tuition, we have years of experience working with children studying to sit Private School Entrance Exams across Scotland and England. Our Tutors are experienced in supporting children in covering all exam areas for the Early Years (Nursery) – S1 Entrance in Scotland and 11+ Grammar School Entrance in England working up to GCSE level.

We have a 100% proven track record of our students gaining entrance to multiple private schools and our parents/students can attest to this.

We understand the importance of a thorough assessment to tailor the best possible support for your child. While our typical tutoring assessment lessons are 1.5 hours in length, our exam prep-specific assessments are 2 hours long. This extended session allows us to comprehensively evaluate your child’s strengths and areas for improvement across the entire curriculum, including Literacy and English, Numeracy and Maths, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning. This ensures we can provide a focused and personalised approach to help your child excel in their entrance exams.

"J passed his ESMS assessment and has been offered a place! Thanks so much for all your help and hard work, he did really enjoy the support you gave and was very comfortable with you. I will highly recommend LS to anyone looking for a tutor."

"I would highly recommend Lydia and LS Tuition to anyone (and often do). My 10 year old daughter loves her sessions each week and has made great progress since starting with Lydia in both literacy and maths. She regularly comments on how she finds certain things in class so much easier since she has covered the topics with Lydia. So not only has LS Tuition helped with her learning it has also increased her confidence and I feel she is far more likely to challenge herself in school now. I originally looked for a tutor for a short period prior to sitting a Private School Entrance Assessment as I thought it might help to brush up on a few things beforehand. However what we found was a lot more and we have continued on after successfully getting a place. LS Tuition offers a fun and nurturing place to learn and I love the relationship that Lydia builds with the children. My daughter literally skips in each week and I think would happily stay longer!"

"Great setup, fabulous teachers for 1:1 tuition. My kids loved their experience and successfully passed their entrance exams. Highly recommend."

"Lydia is a wonderful, talented tutor with a great team of teachers. We really appreciated the opportunity to get a comprehensive assessment of our P4 son's abilities.Lydia guided our son through the private school entry assessment process with positivity and kindness. Not only was he fully prepared for his exams - he wants to keep tutoring with Lydia as he loves it so much. Thank you Lydia and team."
