We appreciate that seeking out an appropriate tutor for your child is not a decision that can be made lightly. Your child is your most treasured bundle of joy! They rely trustfully on the decisions you make. And choosing who will tutor your child, can have an effect on their academic future.
So, if you’ve already looked over our ‘welcome page,’ showcasing what we specialise in, our values, and client feedback and yet still require some further details, then why not peruse the following answers to our tuition FAQs that parents often ask, below.
Our Tuition FAQs for Parent’s
Tutoring Practices & Results
When is best to start tutoring my child?
There is no better time to start tutoring for your child! The most confident, motivated children are those that commence tuition sooner rather than later. Due to the nature of the GL exam, the ideal time to start your child on their 11+ journey is in year 4.
I have been told my child will not pass the 11+ exam.
We have tutored numerous children who have been told similar, only to see many of them make great progress, pass their 11+ exam and enter their desired grammar school.
Personal assessment is carried out by ourselves and we will be able to determine over a period of time, if this course is suitable for your child or not.
However, it is not agreeable or professional to make a child endure a course that will only put them under unnecessary pressure and result in dissapointment. For this reason, even if the parent should wish us to continue, we will have to put the child’s best interests first and discontinue preparing that child for the 11+ exam.
Alternatively, they can choose the ‘independent school entrance examination,’ route or our ‘stand alone tutoring,’ which is an equally expert service that can be requested to enhance their school learning.
How many children do you hold per class?
We hold a maximum of only 5 children per lesson. It’s important that classes hold small numbers like this, so your child receives quality tutoring with optimum results.
How successful are your pass rates?
At Wirral 11+ Academy, we have gained a reputation on the Wirral for producing a consistently high percentage pass rate every year and we were equally pleased to receive a 100% pass rate for the Upton & St. Anselm’s Entrance Exams for 2019 too.
Of course, over the years, this is likely to fluctuate, naturally. However, our records show this to be marginal.
Subjects
What subjects do you teach?
At Wirral 11+ Academy, we teach a range of subjects to include Key Stage 1, Key Stage 2, 11+, 12+, 13+, independent school examinations, GCSE Maths / English / Biology / Chemistry / Physics / Geography / History.
Special Requirements
My child is a reluctant reader. Can you accommodate them?
Yes we can. We can help turn ‘reluctant readers,’ into ‘avid readers,’ with the aid of our in-house range of vocabulary resources and game cards from our sister company, Educabulary. Additionally, we help support them when ready, by means of our ‘Accelerated Reading Scheme.’
My child has Special Needs. Can you accommodate them?
Yes we can. We have much expertise in this field and many years of experience with Asperger’s Syndrome, ADHD, Dyscalculia, Dyslexia & Dyspraxia children and others. The majority have progressed and gone on to excel in their new grammar/secondary school placements.
Certificates
Are you DBS checked?
Yes we are. We take safety and your child’s well-being seriously at Wirral 11+ Academy.
