Supporting Parents Throughout the Process

We understand that navigating the 11+ exam journey can be stressful for parents as well. That’s why we keep you informed at every step. From initial assessments and personalised study plans to regular progress reports and consultation meetings, we ensure you are always aware of how your child is doing and what the next steps are.

Our parental support network also includes advice on the best practices for supporting your child at home, ensuring that the learning process continues beyond the classroom. We partner with you to give your child the best possible chance of success.

Early Start for Maximum Success

Foundational Skill Development

We begin enrolling students from Year 3 onwards, ensuring a solid academic foundation before the more intense preparation of Years 4–6. By starting early, we can introduce key concepts gradually, reducing pressure on students and giving them ample time to master core subjects like Maths and English, as well as Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning.

Reasoning & Problem Solving Training

Every child’s learning journey is unique. After a comprehensive initial assessment, we create a personalised learning plan designed to address your child’s strengths and areas for improvement. Our experienced tutors adapt the curriculum to suit each child’s pace, ensuring they are fully prepared for the 11+ exams without feeling overwhelmed.

Expert Tutors in 11+ Preparation

Our tutors are not only experienced in 11+ exam content, but they are also experts in child-centered teaching. We deliver one-on-one tutoring, as well as small group sessions, ensuring your child gets the attention and tailored support they need to thrive. Each tutor is skilled in guiding students through the exam process, including Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, and Creative Writing.

Personalised Learning Plans

Academic preparation is important, but we believe emotional and mental readiness is equally essential. Our EQ and resilience coaching helps students develop skills in stress management, self-discipline, and confidence-building. These sessions foster a growth mindset, empowering your child to handle exam pressure with ease.

Smart Analytics & Predictive Success Rates

Using cutting-edge predictive analytics, we assess your child’s likelihood of success in the 11+ exams, identifying areas where improvement will yield the greatest results. Our data-driven approach ensures that your child is always working on what matters most, maximising their chance of success.
