About Hearthprep

We started Hearthprep because we saw too many families paying high prices for outdated PDF worksheets and generic practice papers. We believed there had to be a better way — using AI to create personalised, adaptive practice that actually works.

Our Mission

We're building the most effective and accessible UK entrance-exam preparation platform — 7+ pre-prep, 11+ for grammar and independent schools, 13+ Common Entrance for senior independents, and 16+ sixth-form entry. Thousands of original practice questions with full step-by-step worked solutions, a tutor that explains concepts in age-appropriate language, and a parent dashboard that tells you where your child needs the most help next.

How Hearthprep is different

  • Real past papers, not regurgitated AI content. 252 actual papers from 64UK senior schools — Eton, Westminster, Sevenoaks, Dulwich, Tonbridge, HABS and more. Linked to each school’s own published PDFs where they exist; converted to interactive practice where they don’t.
  • Spaced repetition for wrong answers. Every wrong question your child answers comes back at 1 day, then 3, then 7, then 21 — the same retrieval-practice schedule that Anki and Tassomai use. Mastery happens through deliberate re-attempt, not bulk drilling.
  • Mock exam mode. Sit any paper as a real timed exam — single submit at the end, countdown timer, flag-for-review chips. The dry run before the dry run.
  • Honest tone, no AI-slop. We tell you what the platform actually does and what’s coming later. No fake testimonials, no inflated claims about qualified teachers we don’t employ. The corpus stats above are the source of truth — same numbers on the hero, pricing, and FAQ.
  • £0 for 7 days, then £14/moif you keep it. Full Annual access for the trial week. Cancel from your dashboard in two clicks. After that, the cheapest path is the Annual subscription at £169/yr — that’s £14/mo, which is what a single tutor session costs in central London.

What We Stand For

Quality First

Every question is original, written against published past-paper formats, and gated by a quality check before it reaches your child. We run a continuous editorial review queue and fix issues fast.

Privacy by Design

We comply with GDPR and the ICO Children's Code. We use nicknames instead of real names, minimise data collection, and never share personal information.

Child-Centred Learning

Our AI adapts to each child's pace and learning style. We believe in building confidence through practice, not pressure.

Parents in Control

Parents manage all accounts. Weekly progress memos and the parent dashboard surface where your child needs the most help next, without overwhelming them.

Proven Methods

Our question formats and difficulty progression are designed around the published syllabuses for GL Assessment 11+, ISEB Common Pre-Test, ISEB Common Entrance, and individual senior-school papers.
