When choosing a teaching pathway there are two main choices. Should my child join a small group or take part in 1-2-1 lessons? There is no "better" route. It depends entirely on your child. Some children thrive in a small group environment, they love the company of other children and the competitive spirit. Others prefer working one to one. Some children take part in both types of tuition.
If you have decided the 1-2-1 route is suited to your child the next step is to find the perfect teacher. The teacher needs to be fully experienced with your target schools, while 11+ exams across the UK have many similarities there are also many subtle differences. The next step is the most important - matching your child with a teacher. All teachers, like people are different. As education leaders we know that for a child to excel they must build a relationship with their teacher. When they have trust in their teacher they will take risks in their learning and this is when they make great strides in their learning. Making a perfect match is essential, your child needs a teacher who will inspire, build confidence and resilience. The 11+ journey is like a roller coaster, there are amazing days but there are also some very challenging days. The right teacher will support you and your child along every step of the journey.
