7 Plus tutoring from qualified teachers

Every Nova programme runs to 20 sessions.

For 7 Plus and 8 Plus, that is 10 themed units, each delivered as Session A and Session B. For 11 Plus and ISEB, it is 8 full practice tests, each delivered as Lesson A and Lesson B, together with four dedicated examination technique lessons.

For a Curriculum Programme, the programme also runs to 20 sessions, but the content of those sessions is determined by the programme designed for your child rather than by a fixed book structure. Families who wish to continue at the end of a programme simply roll into the next block.

For Entrance Preparation: 20 tutorial sessions, all Nova course books and practice papers, mid-programme and end-of-programme practice tests, and the full reporting suite: Session Note after every session, Progress Report at each review point, Mid-Programme Review, End-of-Programme Report and a Nova certificate.

For a Curriculum Programme: 20 tutorial sessions, all learning materials, and the full reporting suite, ending with an End-of-Programme Report and a Nova certificate. There is nothing further to buy.

In-person sessions are available in Camden, Islington, the City of Westminster, Brent, Barnet, Haringey and the City of London. Home sessions reach across London and the Home Counties, so if you live outside those seven areas, tell us where and we will confirm.

The first three sessions of every programme are taught in your home. Where your child is taught in a group of two or three, one home is nominated as the teaching venue at the start of the programme and all three children attend their in-person sessions there. All subsequent sessions are delivered online.

Children aged 6 and 7 build trust through physical presence. Meeting a tutor face-to-face, in the same room, without the mediation of a screen, creates a quality of relationship that makes everything that follows more productive. Face-to-face contact with your child and with you builds a rapport that is not possible when every session is online, and gives the tutor a better understanding of your child's attitude, mannerisms and personality. The transition from in-person to online at Session 4 feels like a continuation, not a change.

We do not publish prices on this page, because the right programme depends on your child. The consultation is free. Programme options, fees and payment are discussed there, and confirmed in writing if you decide to enrol.
