i have a daughter about to start year 5, she has really progressed well since starting juniors as she is quite a shy child, her sats scores are good she has scored 4s i wonder when is the right time to get a tutor?

Your daughter sounds as if she is confident in her English and Maths to get L 4s at the end of Year 4.

I would say that she would only need preparation for NVR and VR depending on which area you are taking the exams.And you can carry on with checking her progress in English and Maths over Yr 5 at school.
Most would start practising NVR and VR in after christmas of Yr 5. I think your child will do very well and you have quite some time.

Can you not tutor her yourself using materials in bookshops and from this site?

The verbal rasoning CDs from this site are great.

treat the exercises as puzzles, maybe do them togethre, kkep it low key and fun. You can also download practice papers.

Which part of Kent are you from?
