Online grammar school entrance exam tutors
At JK Educate, our specialised online tutoring enables students in all geographical locations to benefit from our experienced grammar school entrance exam tutors. Our online classrooms provide visual, interactive and multi-sensory platforms where tutors and students can share images, text, video and game links for enhanced collaboration and interaction.
Our unique online classrooms encourage independence and autonomy. Students work online for the whole lesson so the tutor can see all work/tasks instantly. Parents take photos of homework or send PDFs the day before the lesson so the tutor can upload homework to the classroom in advance, and misconceptions can be discussed together and new targets set.
Our 2022-2023 cohort of students who sat the 11+ exams achieved a 98% success rate, with many gaining places in grammar schools despite lost classroom learning through the pandemic. All these children received online tutoring, proving that JK Educate’s comprehensive online tutoring matches face-to-face tutoring.
How does grammar school entrance exam tutoring work?
If you are considering whether a grammar school would be an ideal fit for your child, having them assessed in Year 4 is a good idea. If you decide that grammar school is the right option, tutoring for the entrance exams can start at that point or early in Year 5. This gives your child a full year of preparation, which we find, for most children, leads to optimum results. However, each child is unique and starting later for some children will not hinder success.
Contact us today to arrange your child’s academic assessment.
We use the academic assessment to evaluate your child’s ability and how they like to learn to help us match them with the right tutor. We also look at their current school’s teaching and how much of the grammar school entrance exam curriculum they may have already covered so we can create a bespoke teaching plan. This plan will then be adjusted as your child’s expert tutor requires.
At JK Educate, we never underestimate the importance of adapting our teaching to each child’s requirements. Our personalised tutoring approach allows us to evolve our techniques throughout your child’s journey to sit their grammar school entrance exam. This is supported by half-termly progress checks with tutors and our senior management team to ensure they are on track.
Our grammar school entrance exam tutoring usually takes place over 12 months in the form of weekly lessons. Tuition is always bespoke, tailored to the individual child and their preferred grammar school.
Our grammar school entrance exam department supports whole families through being assessed for grammar school. We offer a complete package of services to help boost your child’s chances of success. These services include:
- Academic assessments
- Mock exams and workshops
- Expert personalised grammar school entrance exam tutoring
- Regular parent and student feedback
What does grammar school entrance exam tutoring cover?
Our grammar school entrance exam tutoring covers the required content in non-verbal reasoning, verbal reasoning, maths and English, teaching revision skills and school entrance exam techniques.
- 11+ maths tutoring covers every curriculum area in detail, including algebra, fractions and geometry. It also introduces appropriate elements from the KS3 maths curriculum to give your child a head start in their grammar school entrance exams.
- 11+ English tutoring covers comprehension, reading, writing, grammar, punctuation and spelling. It also introduces any relevant elements from the KS3 English curriculum.
- Verbal reasoning preparations include a broad range of question types and guidance on techniques, including how to approach specific topics likely to come up in the grammar school entrance exams.
- Non-verbal reasoning tutoring covers questions and expert guidance on test techniques and approaches.
Our skilled grammar school entrance exam tutors identify individual targets in the above subjects for their students to work towards. They also work on building your child’s confidence and self-esteem to help them perform their best when sitting their exams.
Homework is set and marked to help check progress and provide meaningful feedback. As the grammar school entrance exams approach, students can attempt practice papers and receive marked papers back. This allows students to master time management and practical question interpretation well ahead of sitting their entrance exams.
Finally, our Senior Teaching and Learning team help our tutors set individual targets at different points throughout your child’s learning journey to ensure that the correct resources are used at the right time for your child.
Grammar school entrance mock exams
Sitting mock exams is one of the final but vital stages of our grammar school entrance exam preparation for students. Our 11+ mock exams only occur when tutors have covered the full curriculum with their students to ensure they are fully prepared and have all the necessary knowledge. They provide a realistic insight into what will happen on the day of your grammar school entrance exam under strictly timed exam conditions. Plus, detailed mock exam feedback ensures that the final stages of grammar school entrance exam tutoring focus on the key areas that need improvement.
As sitting an exam under timed conditions can be a relatively new experience for this age group, we recommend students complete practice papers this way with your support and guidance. Our grammar school entrance exam tutors will seek to provide age-specific 11+ Mock Exams.
Is a grammar school entrance exam right for your child?
At JK Educate, we believe an academic assessment is necessary for your child before they set their sights on grammar school. This will inform you if they have the potential to pass these challenging exams and whether they are likely to manage in a highly selective and competitive senior grammar school.
At JK Educate, we believe children without an innate aptitude and drive to succeed in a competitive grammar school environment should not be intensively tutored to succeed. We recommend assessing your child before discussing potential school choices with them. Once we have performed an initial assessment, we can help you narrow down potential grammar schools and routes forward.
