Do be careful about tutoring; if the only reason that your child gets into a school is because they have been tutored, they may spend their formative years struggling and bumping along at the bottom of the class.
The best advice I can give is to ensure that for the 7+, they know their number bonds to 10 and 20 (extend to multiples of 10 to make 100) and at least but preferably more than 2x, 5x, 10x tables. Practice writing stories with descriptions- punctuation should include . , " " ? ! and read, read, read to them and with them.
