Comments from children:

“There are lots of fun, interactive games. Doing the work in a group means you get to know them and how they think more.”

“Mrs Whitfield is very kind and encourages everyone to learn.”

“The critical thinking exercises were a good experience for my brain and I really enjoyed it. Not at all scary.”

Comments from parents:

"The 11+ tutoring was completely tailored to her needs, building confidence in some areas while reinforcing others. Best of all, she always came away smiling! After two years in a bigger 11+ club, it was these smaller focused sessions that nailed it for the exams!"

“I’m not sure how Mrs Whitfield manages it, but the children cannot wait to attend her sessions. By all accounts, they are fun, interactive and challenging, without putting the less able children off. I have seen a remarkable improvement in confidence levels along.”

“I asked him last Wednesday how he liked your tutor class and in his words ‘really really really good!”

Tutoring Services

Accelerate Year 5/ 6 Maths

Designed to complement the Year 5 and Year 6 Mathematics curriculum, these courses will encourage children to embrace new concepts with confidence. Through engaging sessions, students are empowered to tackle complex problems, cultivating resilience and a deeper understanding of mathematical principles. The aim is to boost fluency and confidence in both arithmetic and problem-solving, helping children to success in KS2 SATS.
Accelerate Year 5/6 English

Designed to complement the Year 5 and Year 6 Programme of Study, this course covers the key aspects of reading and writing. The focus for reading is on improving comprehension, expanding vocabulary, and fostering reading fluency. For writing, the focus will be on improving sentence structure, grammar, vocabulary and fluency. It will boost children who lack confidence but is also suitable to challenge children who are preparing for 11+ or private school entrance exams.
Accelerate 11+

Equip your child with the critical skills needed to excel in the 11+ exams through focused weekly sessions. Designed to cover all key areas of English and Maths, including comprehension, writing, grammar, vocabulary, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, these sessions will be centred on each child’s needs. There are two groups available: a “foundation skills” group for Year 4 children who are considering the 11+ route and a more exam focused group for Year 5 children who are either just starting their 11+ journey, or who may have been studying independently (or with a different provider).
Headstart Summer Masterclasses

Designed to reduce the "summer slump", these fun, interactive sessions revise and reinforce key skills in maths and English, ready for the new school year.
Look out for new sessions in August 2025.
Holiday Masterclasses

A variety of intensive courses aimed at reducing the “learning slump” during during school holidays or as a revision aid prior to end of year assessments.
1:1 Tutoring

There is limited availability for 1:1 Tutoring sessions, perhaps for a specific test/exam or simply to boost confidence in a specific area of learning.
