The 11+ exam requires a strong grasp of mathematical concepts, problem-solving skills, and effective time management. We focus on the key areas that are tested, such as arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and word problems. Our lessons include extensive practice with past papers and exam-style questions, helping students become familiar with the question formats and develop strategies to tackle them efficiently. We also place emphasis on improving mental maths and reasoning skills, which are crucial for success in the 11+.
Our sessions are designed to build both knowledge and confidence, ensuring that students feel fully prepared for the exam. We regularly assess each student’s progress through practice papers and quizzes to identify any areas that need extra attention and to track steady improvement. As the exam approaches, students will have had ample practice and will feel comfortable with both the format and the time constraints. We also provide regular feedback to both students and parents, keeping you informed about progress and next steps.
We have extensive experience tutoring for the ISEB, 11+ CEM, 11+ GL, and Independent School Entrance Exams. Our team has successfully supported many students in gaining admission to selective schools, including Queen Elizabeth’s Boys School and The Henrietta Barnett School.
We are confident in preparing students for:
11+ CEM
11+ GL
ISEB
Independent entrance exams
YR 6 SAT
At this stage, we focus on building a strong foundation in essential maths concepts such as algebra, geometry, fractions, and problem-solving skills. Our goal is to ensure students feel confident and well-prepared as they approach their GCSE years. We make lessons engaging by connecting mathematical concepts to real-life situations, helping students understand the relevance and importance of what they’re learning. We also place a strong emphasis on developing independent thinking and effective study habits.
For GCSE students, we focus on comprehensive exam preparation while reinforcing core mathematical concepts. We work with students to understand the syllabus in depth, master key topics such as trigonometry, statistics, and quadratic equations, and apply these concepts effectively to problem-solving questions. Our tutors also provide guidance using past papers and targeted exam techniques to build confidence and improve performance in the actual exams. Whether a student is aiming for a strong pass or striving for top grades, we adapt our lessons to suit their individual goals and learning pace.
A-Level Maths is more advanced and requires a deep understanding of complex topics such as calculus, mechanics, and pure mathematics. We guide students through these challenging areas by breaking down difficult concepts into manageable steps and providing extensive practice. At this level, developing critical thinking is essential, so we encourage students to explore different problem-solving strategies and understand the reasoning behind mathematical methods, not just how to apply them. Many students need support when transitioning from GCSE to A-Level, and we ensure that this transition is as smooth and confident as possible.
