From my own experience (years ago!). Definitely techniques first. If they do tests straight away without knowing anything about technique you run the risk of affecting their confidence. My children had very low key tutoring where the teacher would go through a technique each week, followed by a few practice questions to do during the week. Then in the July before the test in September they did a few papers. I am aware that it has all ramped up a bit since then, though.
