Why Starting
Why Starting
Now Matters.
Exam dates don't wait. Whether your child's 11+ grammar school test or private school entrance exam is weeks or months away, every day of structured 1:1 preparation makes a measurable difference.
- Exam places are limited — grammar schools and private schools select the strongest candidates from hundreds of applicants
- Self-study and generic worksheets can't match the precision of 1:1 live tuition targeted at your child's specific gaps
- 11+ grammar exams typically take place September–November; private school exams January of Year 6 — the clock is ticking
- Children who receive structured crash course tuition consistently score higher than those who prepare without expert guidance
- Even a 15-day crash course can boost scores significantly when sessions are personalised and focused on high-value topics
- Starting now gives your child the best chance — whether that means 15 days of intensive work or a full year of thorough preparation
Common Questions
Frequently Asked
Frequently Asked
Questions.
What's the difference between the crash course durations?
Each duration is designed for a different situation. The 15-day intensive is for last-minute exam prep when time is extremely limited. The 1-month and 45-day courses are for families with a few weeks to spare. The 3 and 4-month courses provide thorough preparation across all subjects. The 6-month programme is our most popular — offering comprehensive coverage without rushing. The 1-year programme is the gold standard for families starting at the beginning of Year 5. All durations cover both 11+ grammar school and private school entrance preparation.
Can we prepare for both 11+ grammar school and private school entrance exams at once?
Absolutely. Many families apply to both grammar schools and private schools. Our crash courses are designed to cover both paths simultaneously. The core subjects (English, Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning) overlap significantly. For private school preparation, we add Science, extended writing, and interview coaching. Your child's personalised plan will cover all target schools and boards.
How many sessions per week are in each crash course?
This varies by programme duration. The 15-day intensive includes daily sessions (Monday–Friday). The 1-month programme runs 4–5 sessions per week. The 45-day and 3-month courses typically have 3–4 sessions weekly. Longer programmes (4–12 months) usually run 2–3 sessions per week, increasing closer to exam time. All sessions are 1:1 live online with your dedicated tutor.
Is the tuition online or in-person?
Our crash courses are delivered through 1:1 live online sessions via video call. This format allows for maximum flexibility, no commute time, and access to the best tutors regardless of your location. The sessions are interactive and engaging — not pre-recorded videos. Your child works directly with their tutor in real time, with immediate feedback and support.
What if my child is already in Year 6?
Our crash courses work for Year 6 students too. In fact, our shorter programmes (15-day, 1-month, 45-day) are specifically designed for situations where exams are imminent. We'll focus on the highest-impact topics and exam techniques to maximise your child's score in the time available. Contact us for a free diagnostic to assess where your child stands.
How do I know which crash course duration is right for my child?
Book a free diagnostic assessment — it takes 45 minutes and gives us a clear picture of your child's current level. Based on the results, your child's target schools/boards, and how much time you have before exams, we'll recommend the most effective programme duration. There's no obligation to proceed after the assessment.
Which 11+ boards and private schools do you cover?
We cover all major 11+ boards including GL Assessment, CEM (Durham), CSSE Essex, Kent Test, Buckinghamshire, Medway, Birmingham, Trafford, Wirral, and regional boards across England. For private schools, we prepare students for 60+ schools across the UK including Westminster, St Paul's, Dulwich College, Manchester Grammar, and many more. Each crash course is tailored to your target school's specific exam format.
What is the free diagnostic assessment?
It's a complimentary 45-minute assessment where we evaluate your child's current ability in English, Maths, and Reasoning. We identify strengths, knowledge gaps, and areas that need the most attention. You'll receive a detailed report with recommendations for the most suitable crash course programme — all completely free with no obligation to continue.
