If you have signed up to our SILVER tier, you can access your classes whenever you like! Recordings are uploaded within 24 after each lesson.

For those on GOLD and PLATINUM tiers, you will have 2 x 1 hour lessons at a fixed time each week. We offer multiple weekly time slots to give you flexibility - please click on the blue CLICK TO BOOK button to see the different days and times available for lessons. They are all after school on Mondays - Thursdays at either 4.45 - 5.45pm or 6 - 7pm. Groups are not sorted by ability and all lessons for each week are the same. We ask that once you have chosen your group day/time you stick to it, but if occasionally you need to swap groups, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

We also offer an optional Saturday Support Session, for all Gold and Platinum members, designed for pupils to address and get targeted help with any difficulties. Year 5 is at 8.30am and Year 4 is at 9.30am, every Saturday (pre-booking required each week).

Don’t worry! Life happens! All of our classes are recorded so, if your child is unable to attend, they can watch the replay and still submit homework. If you can't make a live class as a one off, due to a medical appointment (for example) then we do our best to accommodate you in another class for that week, upon request, so you don't miss your live lesson.

We cover the whole 11+ curriculum for both Independent and Grammar School entry exams which includes:  Maths, English (including comprehension and creative writing), Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning. We prepare children for all exam boards including GL, ISEB, FSCE and CSSE.

Both! All our lessons are delivered live, on Zoom, by our highly experienced teachers. Lessons are fully interactive, with teachers asking and answering questions with the children. Depending on which tier you sign up to, you will have access to live and/or recorded classes. For all our students, recordings can be accessed 24 hours after the end of each class. Silver members will be able to go through the lessons at a time that is convenient to them, whilst Gold and Platinum members will attend a live lesson and use the recordings to help consolidate learning and assist with homework tasks.

Yes! We do. Several Grammar Schools and all Independent Schools test children on Creative Writing (sometimes called Free Writing), but even if your child is not going to be tested on this skill, learning it will support their vocabulary, comprehension, spelling, grammar and punctuation - all of which are vital skills needed to excel in the Comprehension and Verbal Reasoning papers. Also - they will need to do it in Year 7, when they get to secondary school, so learning it properly now will mean they are likely to find the transition to Year 7 easier.

We limit all classes to a maximum of 10 children. This is the optimal class size to allow for peer learning, engagement and fun, whilst allowing the teacher to attend to each child individually.

Yes. Homework is set after every lesson. If it is submitted within the week that it is set, it will be marked and returned to your child with feedback. We suggest this will take around an hour each week, but it may be more or less, depending on your child. We also provide support and extension work for those needing a little more foundational work, or those who need to be stretched and challenged a little further.

We do not recommend this because, although you may feel that your child is particularly strong in one subject area and only needs tutoring in the other, they still need to learn the skills and topics that are in the 11+ curriculum, so they still need to be taught more than they already know.

Yes. The curriculum that is included in the different boards is largely the same and our courses cover all of the topics that are likely to be tested for all Independent and Grammar Schools, including GL, ISEB, FSCE and CSSE. We then provide a wide range of practice papers in various styles (towards the end of Year 5) so you can pick and choose which style to practise. 

Not on the 11+ Mastery Course. However, we do run a Year 6 Independent Schools Course (September to December) where pupils are allocated time to attend a mock interview with one of our highly experienced team. This does not apply to Grammar Schools and is not included in the Year 5 11+ Mastery Course.

Yes. All of our teachers are qualified (QTS) and experienced teachers who have spent many years in UK classrooms and have an in-depth knowledge of the 11+ process. Click here to read their profiles.

It's not out of the question. Whilst we cannot accommodate moving "willy nilly" across the tiers, we would consider this on a case-by-case basis; if spaces become available and the timing is appropriate, we would do our best to enable this. We have a high retention rate throughout the year so, to avoid disappointment, we do encourage you decide which tier works best for you from the beginning as places in the Gold and Platinum tiers are limited.

Yes! We run continuously all calendar year (with the exception of the Christmas to New Year week), which helps avoid gaps in learning and keeps momentum high.

YES, there is a discount. Please enquire. 

We ask for an initial commitment of one month although most pupils stay with us for the full year - September to September. If after the first month you are not satisfied, we will cancel your subscription. Mid-year, we will leave your membership open until the end of that paid month, then cancel your subscription.

No. We don’t guarantee that every pupil will pass, though most of our students do! Our Mastery Courses offer comprehensive training, enabling your child to navigate all areas of the 11+. Our goal is to give your child the best chance possible of passing the 11+ and attending their chosen school. Exams are important and are our main focus, however, we also recognise the value of learning; our training offers a path to enhancing your child’s ability to think critically and approach problems in a methodical manner. We build core skills, teach time management and prepare students to think flexibly under pressure, putting them ahead not only for the 11+ but for life in general. Time spent learning is never wasted! 

We encourage partnership! While we handle the teaching, we do like to keep parents informed with guidance for home support. Whilst parents do not need to (indeed are encouraged not to) attend the lessons with your child, you should ensure that he/she is prepared, in a quiet place, has a computer and any resources needed for the lesson and submits their homework.

We’d love to help. Once you've completed our short application form, we’ll offer a discovery call if you're ready to move forward but need help deciding which tier to book onto.
