Common Questions from Parents
We prepare students for grammar school 11 Plus exams using CEM and GL Assessment style question types, including Maths, English, verbal reasoning, and non verbal reasoning where schools require them. 13 Plus support covers Common Entrance subjects such as Maths, English, and Science at the level expected by independent schools. Tell us your target schools and we align practice accordingly.
Entrance exams reward familiarity with question styles as much as raw knowledge. We teach pattern spotting routines for non verbal items, vocabulary building for verbal reasoning, and pacing strategies for timed papers. Sessions stay calm and structured so anxiety does not block ability.
Many families begin focused work in Year 4 or early Year 5, but we also support intensive plans closer to the exam. 13 Plus preparation often spans Years 7 and 8. We assess current level at the free demo and suggest a realistic timeline rather than a one size fits all schedule.
Lessons are one to one on video call with shared papers and whiteboard working. Tutors set homework from past style questions and review mistakes immediately. Mock exam packages on this page can be combined with regular weekly sessions for timed practice under exam conditions at home.
Progress shows first as faster, more confident answers on familiar question types, then as better accuracy under time pressure. Every child starts from a different baseline. We share topic feedback after sessions and avoid promising a specific pass rate or school offer.
Yes. Mock exam packs are listed in the pricing table on this page. English preparation includes comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and creative writing tasks common in 11 Plus papers. 13 Plus English adds literature style analysis and structured essays where required.
We match tutors with experience in UK entrance exams and the subjects your child needs most. They know typical CEM and GL question styles and Common Entrance expectations. The free demo lets you judge rapport before choosing a package.
Structured packages start from £28 for a three session taster on 11 Plus, with larger programmes up to £215 as listed in the table above. 13 Plus packages are priced separately on the same page. The first demo session is free with no obligation to buy a package.
