11+ Exam Preparation
Designed to give students an opportunity to fine-tune their Maths, English & reasoning skills prior to examination. Small group learning ensures that we can target the weaker subject areas for each student as well as providing interview practice and past paper revision. We always aim to create an engaging and comfortable learning environment, collaborating with local venues to provide a fun learning space for our students.
Each day will typically consist of three one hour lessons in Maths, English and reasoning skills respectively. Content covered will depend upon subtopics requested by parents and students. We will split our students into separate groups according to the proximity of their exams. We aim to include a balance of teaching the trickier isolated skills for each subject while giving students the opportunity to gain some timed exam practice. We will ensure that students complete at least one mock exam each for maths reasoning, English timed writing and comprehension. We will also give students the opportunity to practise their interview skills with us where relevant.
