I have qualified as a physiotharapist and also worked for 10+ year as a medical/pharmaceutical translator.

* Experienced 11plus exam tutor since 2013 in Reading, Berkshire * Grammar schools and Private schools * Year 4 and Year 5 children, online or face to face lessons * Meticulously prepared lessons tailored to your child * Weekly tests, constant progress monitoring and feedback * Friendly yet professional My journey as an 11plus exam tutor began in 2013 when my twin daughters started their preparation. They smashed the exam well above the cut-off point and both gained admission to the Kendrick School, Reading (2014). Since then, friends (and friends of friends) were getting in touch to tutor their children. A good number of my students are currently studying in the Kendrick and Reading School or Private school of their choice. Your child's admission to the Grammar school is important to me and I am ready to go the extra mile to achieve that. What is covered - Maths, English grammar, English comprehension, Verbal reasoning, Non-verbal reasoning and Creative writing based on the GL Assessment or FSCE / CEM style exam. - Lessons are usually 1 hour long and take place once a week mostly virtually. - My own short weekly tests and regular homework are part of the study routine. Such structure offers instant feedback to monitor students’ progress, strength and weaknesses. Any weakness is immediately addressed in the next lesson and continuously monitored. - A range of 11+ books from reputable and tested publishers are used along with plenty of my own study and practice worksheets and tests. - Since each child has got an individual talent, working very closely with the child and parents reaps the best results. -Having myself lived through the experience of a being a parent of children preparing for the exam, I understand all the intensity, the ups and downs of what each family is going through. I am happy to provide guidance and prepare for this practical aspect too.
