realising potential
Our eleven plus (11+) tuition courses are taught by Kate, a fully qualified and experienced primary school teacher.
 
Children who are coached for nine months or more improve their scores at 11+ by up to 40% so the earlier you start the better.
 
Many children start tuition in Year 4 to get a head start and we strongly recommend that tuition is started no later than the beginning of Year 5

11+ Bootcamp - An Intensive 11 Plus Summer Course
 
 
This intensive "bootcamp" course consists of 5 consecutive mornings, a total of 15 hours. The  course will be repeated with different content so you can book into more than one if you wish to. The cost of each bootcamp is £200 which works out at a very reasonable £13.33 per hour.
 
This course is intended as a revision course for children who have already had tuition. It is not a substitute for ongoing weekly tutoring.
 
At the start of the course children taking part will receive a practice paper in Verbal Reasoning Maths and English. These will form the basis for revision over the five days.
 
 
Throughout the course there will be emphasis on exam technique and time management. There will be some tasks to complete at home.
