Benefits of Tuition for School Entrance
Examinations: 7/8+
[Maths, English, Reasoning] 11+ [Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal
Reasoning] 13+ [Common Entrance], [Maths, Science] 16+ [Chemistry, Biology,
Physics].A good education has never been more important for
children: it opens doors of opportunity for the rest of their lives. But many
are failing to reach the standards of which they are capable, because they do
not have sufficient individual help increasing numbers of parents are therefore
turning to tutors to help their children reach their full potential. In many
cases, they want to maximise the children’s chances of success in increasingly
competitive examinations. Problems may have arisen because of a need to focus more on a specific subject or,
learning may have been disrupted by illness some schools do not cover the 11+/common
entrance syllabus or, more usually, parents are simply aware that getting a
place at a grammar school or independent school is becoming ever more
competitive. A tutor can:·
Identify
specific areas of weakness within a child’s literacy and numeracy skills, focusing
on them and helping to build more secure foundations which will provide a
strong basis for future study. ·
Offer
teaching which is of a high standard and well-organised. ·
Build
a good personal relationship with the child by being friendly, approachable and
knowledgeable.·
Teach
simple but effective methods to tackle problems.·
Help
the student to take the examinations seriously.·
Make lessons
interesting, engaging and fun.
Prepare the student from the appropriate
syllabus.
Prepare the student for scholarship examinations.
·
Sharpen skills
and techniques which can make all the difference in very competitive examinations.·
Give
expert tuition and support leading up to the examination, showing how to solve
practice papers and past papers for specific schools.·
Ensure
that, leading up to the examination, children are confident with time
management and examination techniques. ·
Give
mock examination sessions, close to the examination date, so that the child builds
up more confidence.·
Enable
the child to feel comfortable with the structure and layout of the tests they
practise.·
Encourage
the child and support them.·
Help
the child to gain self-confidence as well as practical skills. Why have a tutor to help your child
to prepare for school entrance examinations?
A typical example would be a family
who are concerned that their child is not fully prepared or sufficiently
confident for their 7/8+/11+/Common Entrance 13+ / 16+tests. They need a
qualified person to work from the appropriate syllabus, to go over the subject
areas that are needed and to tailor the classes to their child’s needs. They also need somebody who can help their
child to learn ‘exam technique’ and build up the child’s confidence, so that
the examination is seen as a welcome challenge and not an impossible hurdle.
