If you are considering applying for one of these schools for your child then 11+ Home Tuition with Mrs Strauss Tutoring can support your child's learning. 

Here's why 11+ home tuition can be so valuable:

1. Personalised Exam Preparation
   Home tuition offers individualised lessons to target the areas where a student needs the most help, ensuring they are fully prepared for the specific exam content.
    
2. Focused Study on Exam Content
   Tutors can focus specifically on the English and maths skills assessed in the 11+ exams, giving students the targeted practice they need to succeed.
    
3. Boosting Confidence
   The 11+ can be stressful, but home tuition creates a supportive environment where students can gradually build confidence, reducing anxiety and improving performance.
    
4. Filling Knowledge Gaps
   If a student has missed key content or struggles with certain areas, home tuition ensures they’re caught up and fully prepared for the exam.
    
5. Flexibility
   Home tuition offers the flexibility to schedule lessons at convenient times, ensuring consistency in preparation without overwhelming the student.

Should I find a Tutor?

While intensive coaching for the 11+ exam is generally not recommended, as it can lead to a child struggling with the academic demands of grammar school later on, focused tutoring can be incredibly beneficial. Rather than overloading a child, tutoring should enhance their natural abilities, support their academic development, and foster a love for learning while boosting their self-confidence.

Regular tutoring can play a key role in preparing your child for the 11+ exam, helping them approach it with greater confidence. It will help to provide a structure for the exam process and reduce the stress of an unfamiliar challenge.

We can assist you in choosing the right tutor for your child, whether you prefer someone to visit your home or you take your child to the tutor. Whichever option you choose, it's important that your child feels comfortable and looks forward to their sessions, ensuring that learning remains an enjoyable and positive experience.
