Eleven Plus Tuition

My specialist area of expertise lends itself to the 11+ entry exams having predominantly tutored this age group over the last two years. I have tutored approximately eleven students in total towards their 11+ and have a 100% success rate in guiding them towards a range of grammar schools. This includes a number of top end London schools such as St Pauls, Godolphin & Latymer,The Harrodian, Francis Holland, Portland Place and More House.
I have worked alongside a published author of Bond Books supporting the 11+; I am subsequently a regular assessor of 10/11 year ability in English.
The key to 11+ success is early preparation and giving students the necessary support to reach their potential in their entry exams. I have personally written a wide range of English resources tailored towards the 11+ including comprehension worksheets, creative writing templates and a storywriting handbook all of which I make available to my tutees at no extra cost.
Much of this age group need to be instilled with academic confidence in their ability. As such, I bring a balance of enthusiasm and discipline to my tuition classes in order to raise the self esteem of each child. I assess their current ability before targeting areas of weakness and tailoring tuition sessions to focus on these problem areas. I employ a variety of teaching strategies to aid understanding and unblock any learning barriers.
In my experience, reading provides the foundations for success in the 11+ English exams (both comprehension and composition) and I subsequently place a huge emphasis on encouraging this aspect and exploring books together which may match the child's interests. I can also provide a recommended reading list for this age group on a wide variety of topics to suit a broad range of interests (as well as strategies for parents to encourage their child's reading!).
