Many parents believe that you cannot prepare for a 4 Plus assessment. This is a fallacy. If children have the right behaviours, and are ready for school, they are much more likely to pass their 4 Plus assessments. This can be done through enjoyable, play based activities so that there is no pressure on the child. We run extensive 4 Plus preparation programmes in London, led by specialist teachers who have set, observed and marked 4 Plus school assessments.
The results are startling, with 70-80% of our pupils obtaining all through offers at 3 years old to some of the most competitive schools in London. A normal success rate without us is usually 10 – 20%. This means that the children have no pressure for later school entrance exams and can enjoy their learning in the years to come.
The 7 plus exam is one of the hardest exams a child will take before their A levels. Tutoring agencies who claim that an hour a week is enough are misleading parents.
We have developed a programme that offers a more holistic, thorough and comprehensive approach to 7+ preparation, comprising baseline Academic Assessments, 1-2-1 tuition, handwriting and dictation classes, mock exams, group holiday classes and interview practice. We do not usually offer 7+ tuition in the home as we bring in specialist teachers for different aspects of the curriculum, and we find that children work better in a school environment. It is vital to build up stamina over time, as the exams are at least two hours long and sometimes three hours long. Our classes are run out of schools in Dulwich and Hampstead.
As the main entry point for many schools, the 11 plus is a high pressured, winner takes all set of exams. We take the 11 Plus seriously and have a suite of services to help your child run their best race. We offer academic assessments, 1-2-1 tutoring, weekend courses, holiday courses, mock exams, individual interview practice and group interview practice sessions.
Our programme is overseen by Mary Lonsdale, author of the best selling book “How to Pass the 11 Plus” and our Director of Education, Lauren Spring. We have a 40 year track record of 11 Plus success with 80% of our students getting into their first or second choice school.
Our GCSE tutors have a wealth of experience, with many Heads of Department and Examiners on our books. We help students achieve their very best grades.
We specialise in GCSE grade uplift. We know many students needs to achieve grades 8 and 9 to progress on to the A Level course of their choice, and ultimately, the best university.
The transition from GCSEs to A levels can be a big leap . Students must work in more depth, develop new and advanced study skills and work more independently. Our tutors are qualified teachers and subject specialists and are well practiced in guiding pupils through this adaption. They know the A Level mark schemes inside out and know where students can focus to pick up more marks and achieve an uplift in their grades.
