Primrose Prep’s Academic Alignment tutorials support families who wish to maintain the pace, depth, and academic clarity characteristic of leading UK independent schools - whether pupils are abroad temporarily or preparing for a full UK return. 

Our tutorials mirror the expectations of top prep and senior schools, ensuring pupils are challenged at the right level and do not fall behind their UK peers.

Focus areas include:

• English: high-level comprehension, extended writing, vocabulary, and grammar.

• Mathematics: problem-solving, reasoning, and secure mastery of core skills.

• Reasoning: verbal, non-verbal, and spatial reasoning in true prep-school style.

Sessions are fully personalised, with clear explanations, rigorous practice, and detailed feedback - so pupils gain both academic precision and confidence.

Examination Pathways tutorials provide 

• 11+ (prep and senior school entry)

• 13+ / Common Entrance

• Scholarship exams

• GCSE's

• A Level's

Our tutors draw on their many years of experience, giving pupils clear insight into question styles, marking expectations, and the common pitfalls that influence performance. 

Programmes typically cover:

• Diagnostic assessment to identify strengths and gaps

• Teaching of core content to independent-school depth

• Past-paper practice under timed conditions

• High-level marking with model answers and feedback

• Support with interview preparation where appropriate

The aim is not just to “get through the exam”, but to help pupils develop the thinking, writing, and problem-solving habits that selective schools expect.

Primrose Prep supports high-potential pupils who require deeper structure, targeted strategies, or a level of academic challenge unavailable in standard tutorial settings.  Primrose Prep’s Specialist Support tutorials are designed to strengthen learning habits, close gaps with clarity, and extend academic depth where required.

Areas we commonly support include:

• SEN-sensitive learning – guidance for pupils with dyslexia, ADHD, mild ASD, or working-memory challenges, delivered by UK educators experienced in inclusive classrooms.
  Our focus remains academic access, confidence, and practical strategies — not clinical intervention.

• Study skills & executive functioning – organisation, planning, revision strategies, essay structure, and building independent working habits that support long-term academic maturity.

• Gifted & Talented / stretch – extension pathways for high-achieving pupils who require deeper challenge, selective-school pace, or scholarship preparation.

• UK re-entry support – for families returning from the UAE who need to realign with independent-school expectations before transition.

These sessions are calm, structured, and highly personalised.
We combine academic rigour with pastoral sensitivity so pupils feel supported while continuing to move forward at a meaningful pace.

Primrose Prep provides structured academic support for families educating their child outside a traditional school setting. Sessions follow a calm, clear routine and can be delivered in person or online.

Our programmes maintain alignment with a rigorous British-curriculum trajectory, combining independent-school clarity with warm, highly personalised teaching.

Focus areas include:

• Core academic tutoring (English, Maths, Science, Humanities)

• Morning learning blocks for structure and steady progress

• Personalised programmes shaped around age, ability, and pace

• Assessment and gap-analysis to plan clear next steps

• Support for UK re-entry and alignment with prep-school expectations

These tutorials offer the stability, rigour, and encouragement pupils need to thrive while preserving the flexibility of home education.
