Year 4 Tutoring

11 Plus Head Start Course – Year 4

"The course is a great introduction to the 11+ and provides a strong foundation to build upon. It helps develop students' knowledge and confidence in a friendly environment. Importantly, it also assists parents in providing a structure to their child's learning outside of school. In short, the course delivers the Head Start it sets out to achieve!" A mum October 2021

11+ Lessons

Our 11+ group lessons are dynamic, fun and absolutely packed full of new skills and knowledge each week. We teach, interact and discuss for the whole hour to make sure the pupils are fully engaged.

We teach in small groups which enables the children to

  • interact
  • share ideas and
  • formulate individual approaches to work

It also allows for some healthy competition!

We teach the skills and techniques needed, but, over the months, we encourage each child to develop his or her own approach. This will help with lifelong learning well after the 11 Plus is a distant memory.

We find that this increases pupils’ confidence and motivation and they really enjoy seeing themselves make progress every week.

Keeping the size of the group small, also allows for individual attention when needed, helping less confident children as well as those who may be gifted and talented. 

We aim for each child to reach his or her full potential over the year.


'Some magical tutoring happens in settings of three or four pupils - and it can save you a bundle in fees. It won't suit everyone, but it can work well for grammar school exams and other school entrance tests.'
