What parents say

We chose Grow Up Tutoring to help with SATs once we realised how much was covered in Year 6 and how tricky the questions had become.

It was especially helpful to have someone to go through past papers, explain where marks were lost and how to improve next time.

By the time the tests came around she felt prepared rather than overwhelmed, and the final results were better than we had expected.

    • Earlier in Year 6, we focus on closing gaps and building confidence steadily.

    • Closer to the tests, we focus on exam technique, accuracy and targeted practice.

    If your child is earlier than Year 6, we usually recommend focusing on core reading, writing and maths skills instead. We’ll advise honestly based on your child.

  • We focus on the areas that make the biggest difference to outcomes.

    This typically includes:

    • Reading comprehension and answering questions accurately

    • Maths fluency, reasoning and problem solving

    • Spelling, grammar and punctuation

    • Exam-style questions and confidence under timed conditions

    Support is always tailored, we focus on what your child actually needs rather than generic revision.
