FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A good tutor can help to consolidate learning of any topics that may have been taught in school. They will also be able to help identify any conceptual difficulties-this can be harder to do within a busy classroom or in private study. 

Another benefit of tuition is that it can help accelerate progress.

If you were to compare the SATs at the end of Year 6 with a sample 11+ paper to see the difference in difficulty, you would see that there are some topics that may not have been covered or taught in as much depth at primary school. As a result, there may be elements of the 11+ that your child may not have been taught or understand at an in depth level. Tuition can help to bridge the gap in understanding and deepen understanding of key concepts.

Online one to one tuition can take place wherever you may be! Sessions will be scheduled at a time convenient to you.  

One to one sessions will take place in a location convenient for you. This may be in your home, or within the library for example. 

Group tuition takes place at Avenue Hall, 70 Richmond Hall, West Wimbledon.

One to one sessions are usually an hour long. However, other lesson durations are available. For example, sessions focusing on phonics and times tables would run for 30 minutes. At 11+, I recommend an hour or 1.5 hours.
