\"\"<\/p>\n

In an ideal world you should give your child at least 2 years preparation for an Entrance Exam (11+). That means starting to plan from the beginning of year 4.<\/p>\n

The more preparation the better.<\/p>\n

If your child was attending a prep school they would be practising & preparing regularly. Last minute revision only works for a very small number of candidates.<\/p>\n

Does your child need a tutor?<\/h1>\n

Maybe not. Maybe.<\/p>\n

If you have time & expertise your child won’t need a tutor.<\/p>\n

If your child is behind at the start of Year 4 you won’t need a tutor. Please be realistic. Entrance exams are not for every one. Focus on your child’s strengths. Everyone has talent, it just might not be in education.<\/p>\n

If your child is doing well at school & you don’t have the time or expertise to help, then get a tutor!<\/p>\n

Please make sure your child’s tutor is a fully qualified teacher with a DBS check. Ask to see their qualifications!<\/p>\n
