Verbal and Non Verbal Reasoning

The non-verbal reasoning exam technique is here to test your child with logic questions using shapes, symbols, patterns, and various pictures. Many entrance exams for independent schools, whether grammar schools other otherwise, use these types of assessments. This is why our weekly classes and revision courses are extremely beneficial.

The non-verbal reasoning mock exams will have your child identifying the odd one out or recognising similarities within a set of different symbols. There are many other similar questions and problems that test their creativity and non-verbal reasoning.

No matter how well they have prepared at the course, when a child receives the mock tests, they can truly assess their knowledge and see how the tuition can help further.

What Materials Do 11 Plus Tutors Use?

Our team of tutors uses both traditional teaching methods and unconventional ones to make the course more interesting and spark curiosity in the child for learning more.

Your 11 plus tutor will give your child reading lists and vocabulary lists, additional materials and resources, all to help them process the material better and advance at a much faster rate. Of course, the 11 plus tutor will give their students homework and additional materials to read and learn at home so that they always have more help to prepare for the final exam.

The 11 plus tuition course isn't only there to teach students while in the class and motivate them and show them how to learn later in life.

Creating the habit of proper learning will follow them in the future and set them up for success when chasing their dreams.

Initially, the tuition course starts with a general evaluation of our students' knowledge. When we get the results, the tutor knows what materials will work best and how to structure the flow of the course. Based on this, your child gets tailored tuition that will further remove any obstacles and work on their strengths.

Our tutors have enough experience to know how much focus they need to put on each individual aspect of the work.

A Tutoring Partnership Between Parent and Tutor

There are numerous benefits of using an 11 plus private tutor. It is especially beneficial for parents who have very little time or simply don't feel equipped to help their children with their school material at home.

It is also worth mentioning that some children accomplish more by getting the stimulation and motivation of studying with a third party instead of a familiar person at home. They need the extra push to try harder and deliver their best.

Our experienced tutors will always keep you in the loop at every step of the process. This way, you will know exactly how your child is doing and what are their weak points and strengths. Should you need, your 11 plus tutor will also give you more advice and tips on how to address the weak points of your child's learning, even at home, so that they create good habits for their further education in life.

See us as combined support with your efforts in giving your child exactly what they need in the right environment so that they can grow and develop into successful people. Something that not all tuition centres or regular schools can provide.

Don't hesitate to contact us with any questions or consultation for your child's 11 plus course. We are always here to provide you with all the needed information.
