What kind of experience do you have?: I have 12 years experience teaching KS2 in the state sector and currently 12 years teaching in the Independent Prep School sector primarily to Year 5 and 6 children heading towards 11+. I understand the worries and anxiety issues around 11+ entrance exams... for children and parents. Often there are gaps in a child's understanding, which means they are unstable in developing their later knowledge. Securing this and building on 11+ exam technique and practice questions puts them in the right frame of mind to confidently tackle 11+. I have a raft of tips, techniques and resources with which to tackle 11+ exams - and current, relevant knowledge of what the schools require.

Why Tutor?

The majority of schools will fight vehemently against tutoring ... and rightly so ... when you hear so many of the reasons parents choose to have their children tutored.
