I think it's always a good idea to consistently work with your child no matter what age and then when they approach tests , the preparation is easier.

It depends what your expectations are for your child, if you coach them, and they just scrape a pass, and get accepted into grammer school, will your child succeed on their own merits?
Sometimes the best thing for a child approaching 11+ is to support, but have realistic expectations of their ability, some children are actually better off not passing the 11+, in that they may continually struggle in a grammer environment, whereas in a comp or sec modern, may be contented and achieve the same or even better results as a result of the less pressure environment.

If you start your child's education from the very beginning (birth or even while in the womb) then you should be able to wipe out the need for "tutor-ing" at all or, at least, reduce it considerably. Use stimulation, motivation and praise in equal measures.

I dont think its too early to start as long as the childs willing to learn they soak it up like a sponge

In the same year that they do the test do not put too much parental pressure on them but help them with the subjects they're not too good at be encouraging and compliment them when they are doing well
