Tutor Squared
We are Bernie and Jane, ex Deputy Head and Head of Maths and last summer left reeling after the sudden closure of our little Hampstead prep school we decided to leave full-time teaching and we launched a new business together called Tutorsquared.
Our goal is to provide a service to both pupils and parents working towards the 11+ exams. Between us we have over 50 years experience teaching in North London independent schools. We know how stressful the journey can be for children and their families. We also know that happy and confident children are more likely to be successful.
With this in mind we have devised an holistic, structured service. Our programme begins in Year 4 with our Foundation course in Maths and English. In Year 5 it extends to include Verbal and Non-verbal Reasoning. We also focus on perfecting exam technique and interview skills. By Year 6 our pupils will have covered the requirements for their 11+ exams.
As parents we realise how important it is to have a close and honest relationship with teachers. Not only do we provide regular written reports we also think it is vital to have parent/teacher interviews to discuss progress and prospective senior schools. Our parents know that we are always happy to take a phone call or email and to offer support and advice.
We currently run morning and afternoon Saturday classes in Highgate during term time and intensive classes during the holidays.

Tutor Your Child
We are Sue and Maryanne, and together we started Tutor Your Child to help support parents and children through the education maze.
We have created a simple, structured tutoring programme with different packages in maths and/or
English from Reception to the end of Year 6, depending upon your child’s needs:
Curriculum Steps Programme – Weekly tutoring video, estimated one hour per subject, supporting work at three levels, working through the curriculum step-by-step, including regular assessments to check progress and understanding. Videos are aimed at both parent and child watching the video so parents can help support if needed.
Refresher Programme – Eighteen summarised tutorials for maths and English for each year group, supporting three levels of work. This will help recap on learning, find any gaps, and prepare your child for their next school year.
Bundles – ‘Bundles’ of lessons for specific topics to practise where your child has a gap in their knowledge or just needs to boost their practise to increase confidence.
Maths Learning Packs – Containing equipment and posters to support your child’s learning in their year group.
Starting School – Nine videos to explain how you can prepare your child for starting school.
Academic and Learning Needs Assessment – Both are provided with a full written report.
Wellbeing Zone – We are both passionate about self-esteem and mental health in children. You will find activities and ideas to support your child in our wellbeing zone.
