FIND OUT HOW I CAN HELP YOUR CHILD WITH THEIR 11+ PREPARATION

Hi, I’m Emma and I can’t wait to meet you and work with your family.

I strongly believe that 11+ preparation shouldn’t be stressful.

Let me explain how stress free preparation is possible:

  • First, the focus is on building strong core skills and confidence
  • Then, learning is accelerated as we develop the foundations necessary for the 11+
  • Finally, my students master the skills and techniques required to pass the 11+

By starting early, your child is not under pressure, they build stamina, confidence and skills whilst having fun.

What I Offer

In Year 3, children build foundations in English and Maths and improve confidence.

In Year 4, children accelerate their learning and develop specific techniques for solving Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning questions.

In Year 5, children learn to apply their knowledge and master the speed, accuracy and exam readiness required to sit the 11+.

As an experienced tutor, every single one of my students receives:

  • Tailored lessons and homework
  • Lesson summaries and access to related video clips
  • WhatsApp and email support for parents
  • Half-termly review of your child’s learning, and learning plan

The price starts at £25, depending on when your child’s journey with me starts.

  • A good quality dictionary and thesaurus
  • A graphics tablet and pen
  • Lesson Resources

What do you charge?

Prices start at £25 per 60-minute session.

Which entrance exams do you prepare children for?

I specialise in preparing children to take the 11+ for the following schools:

  • Wirral Grammar School for Girls
  • Wirral Grammar School for Boys
  • Caldy Grange Grammar Schools for Boys
  • West Kirby Grammar School for Girls
What if my child also wishes to sit the entrance exam for Upton Hall or St Anselm’s?

Test content can change, whichever entrance exam your child is sitting, to this end, I make sure that I give all my pupils a broad range of skills. Strong foundations are built in English and Maths and we learn the reasoning skills necessary to master the Verbal and Non-Verbal reasoning sections of the tests. It is true that in Year 5 focus of the main weekly sessions does move towards the Wirral Grammar Schools Consortium test, however, any pupils also sitting Upton Hall or St Anselm’s tests will get tailored homework and feedback as well as the opportunity to join, heavily discounted, masterclass sessions for comprehension and creative writing.

Will my child pass the 11+ test?

I cannot guarantee results. What I can say, however, is if your child engages in the lessons, finishes homework and, with your support competes the tasks on their learning plan, then they will accelerate their learning and be successful whatever secondary school they go to in the end.

What feedback do you provide?

After every lesson, you will receive the lesson summary and homework for the week. I will also point you towards video clips and other resources that will help your child.

You will receive a personalised review of your child’s progress each half-term and a plan to help them move forward.

Each term I will offer a 10-minute 1-1 call so you can get feedback directly and ask any questions.

You also have WhatsApp and email access to me between lessons.

Mrs Menon

Emma was a great tutor. Our son really liked her and considering his Aspergers she did a great job getting through to him.
Ben

Emma has been tutoring our son for around a year now, primarily for self-confidence. He was really unsure about having a tutor, but Emma really put him at ease. She’s patient and explains things really well. My son’s confidence at school and with homework grew as result of his time with Emma. We decided to carry on tutoring for the 11+ for which he passed with a really good score. We are so happy with Emma that she is continuing to work with him for his year 6 SATs I would highly recommend her to anyone considering a tutor for their child.

Aaron

Emma is great, she is friendly, professional, punctual, very organised with lesson plans and flexible with tutoring sessions during holiday periods. We have always been kept up to date with our son’s progress and been briefed on what has been covered in each session. I would not hesitate to recommend Emma as tutor.
Mrs Miller

Emma has really helped our daughter’s confidence in her English and Maths. She has a very friendly and approachable manner. Importantly Emma has built a very good relationship with our daughter. Would recommend Emma 100%

Emma has been tutoring our daughter during year 5 for the 11+. The use of Zoom to begin with was an odd concept, however it has worked perfectly with Emma available on e-mail or WhatsApp for any follow ups and support as required. I would highly recommend Emma as she is both professional and friendly with our daughter and she’s found the whole experience very rewarding and productive.
Keith

Excellent tutor for the Wirral and St Anselm’s 11+ exams. Emma did a great job in tutoring our son. She covered the curriculum in good time such that before the exam she was able to focus more deeply on his weaker areas. She taught him some good exam technique which I’m sure helped him do well on the day.
Matthew

Ava is doing really well with her 11+. Emma has given her confidence and explains things in a way she understands. When she first started, Ava wouldn’t talk to Emma with being very shy and got very upset if she got a question wrong. Now Ava looks forward to her lessons, talks to Emma and excepts she can’t always get every question correct. I have also seen an improvement in her work at school. Would definitely recommend.
