GET 11 PLUS READY

WITH INTENSIVE SUMMER REViSION COURSEs!

Increase your child's chances of passing the 11 Plus with my INTENSIVE 11 Plus revision courses and mock exams. NOW available online.

As parents we only want the best for our children and getting them into a Grammar School is one of those achievements many of us parents want for our child. 11 Plus revision courses are a great way to help achieve this!

Not many children are academic geniuses and most children have little or no experience in taking real exams. As a parent and a tutor myself I completely understand these anxieties you may have for your child's academic future.

Tutoring our children helps prepare them for the topics that may come up in any 11 Plus exam, but tuition alone is only part of the solution. 11 Plus revision courses help give your child that extra confidence that they can do this!

We need our children to be prepared for the 11 Plus exam itself

The pressure of taking an exam can be huge especially for such young children - they want to do well; they want to please their parents and they want to go to Grammar School with all their friends. So, the pressure can be intense for them.

We can try and reassure them and just tell them to do their best and that does help to a limited degree but there are other options. While we try and reassure them, make sure they eat and sleep well and of course revise too that all helps but we can go one further.

They may have revised and even had tuition to cover all the topics the 11+ might cover but they more than likely have not prepared for the exam itself.

What do I mean by this? The 11 Plus test is a completely different ball game to revising at home or having a tutor teach you each week. The exam brings about great anxiety and stress for most children and it is an environment they probably never experienced before now.

The best way to practice for 11 Plus is with a mock exam.

The tests are held under strict exam like conditions. Your child will make mistakes. Some through lack of revision; not enough knowledge of certain topics; making silly mistakes; poor time management skills and mix that in with nerves and children will not perform at their best and that is all perfectly normal.

Not practising for the 11+ exam can for some children be the difference between passing and failing and it's this gap in experience I intend to help your child eliminate with 11 Plus mock exams and intensive revision courses.

11 Plus Revision Courses - CSSE, CEM & GL Covered

The intensive 11+ online revision courses (usually held over Easter, May half term and end of Summer term) will not just cover the important topics that might be in the exams but also will cover exam techniques which help your child tackle the tests in a more strategic way. For example we cover time management so your child doesn't spend too much or too little time on certain questions and is able to be more familiar with how exam questions are written and laid out.

We then finish all our 11 Plus revision courses with a mock exam - the results give you and your child good feedback on areas they need to address more; they also are proven to ease exam nerves when they take the real thing as they are now more familiar with the exam process itself and as my mock tests are written by myself and a retired examiner your child gets the full exam experience, something you don't normally get with other mock exams that may use past papers your child may already have taken.

We help your child prepare for the CSSE paper through 7 and a half hours of revision spread over 3 sessions and we have a 4th and final session where we will conduct a mock practice test to see how well they have done.

Sessions will be held online and Government permitting will be held simultaneously in the Southend and nearby Leigh on Sea areas.
