8+ Easter Intensive Course (FACE TO FACE)

This is a 4 day course designed to boost children's confidence and cover essential skills needed to pass the 8+ exams.

What is the 8 Plus Easter Course?

The 8+ Easter Course is an inspiring and enjoyable 4 day course designed to build confidence and knowledge in the imperative subjects needed to pass the 8+ exams: Mathematics, creative writing, comprehension, non verbal reasoning and verbal reasoning. Unlike previous courses, this course aims to connect children’s understanding in Maths and English to Verbal/Non Verbal Reasoning so students can truly achieve mastery in the subjects. In addition, we will be helping children implement vital exam techniques so they can boost their scores in exam situations.

This course is suitable for children preparing for the independent schools in and around London. We have successfully prepared over 900 children over the past 12 years for schools such as: St. Paul’s, Wetherby, Latymer Upper, Dulwich College, King’s College, Bute House, Westminster, City of London and much more…

How is our course structured?

The Easter Course is a 4 day course running from 10am – 3.30pm each day. It is managed by our course instructors who possess over 20 years of experience in exam preparation collectively. The first two days of the course are dedicated to mathematics and non-verbal reasoning. The last two days of the course focus on comprehension, creative writing and verbal-reasoning.

Class size is limited, with a 7:1 student-to-tutor ratio to ensure focused and effective learning. Coursebooks and materials are provided throughout the course and returned to students at the end, allowing them to revise what was taught in class or practise topics our tutors have identified as sticking points before taking their exams.

A mock exam takes place during the course, so we can identify children’s weaknesses and respond accordingly by helping fill in the gaps or extending their knowledge to a greater depth. After the course, a written report with honest feedback and recommendations is emailed to parents ensuring parents are abreast of the insights we gather during the course.

These intensive courses are perfect for making the most of your child’s Easter holidays. Despite the intensive tuition, the class environment and lesson structure is built to be fun and engaging. This means that your child will be happy to learn, and more often than not, leave with a smile on their face and some new friends.

Here are some topics of what the Easter course covers:

• Shapes (maths)
• Time and measures (maths)
• Word problems and puzzles (maths)
• Writing descriptive pieces (creative writing)
• Inferences (comprehension)
• Following instructions and listening skills (comprehension, creative writing, maths)
• Exam technique (maths, creative writing and comprehension)

You can book for the full 4 days, or you can opt to book 2 days of Maths/2 days of English.

Testimonials

“My child attended the October half term camp. This was probably the most valuable investment I made in my my child’s 11+ journey. The feedback report I received was far superior to any feedback that I received from any other source (including 1:1 tutors from another company) and helped me focus on the right areas to help my child with the 11+ exam.”

FAIZA (Verified on Google)

“Really grateful to the team. My youngest attended courses for 11 plus prep and then we took up their online tuition to finish up with her and my son doing GCSEs next summer. I wasn’t too keen on online to begin with but it certainly does the trick. We have got places for our top three choices and feel very confident about the pending GCSE results. Very happy, highly recommended.”

STEVEN GAYLE (Verified on Facebook)

“Excellent Saturday school and tuition. Run by friendly, professional people with many years of experience with the schooling systems (grammars and fee paying private schools). My son attended from age 8 to 10 when he sat the 11+ and passed Kent grammar exams with flying colours. I recommend 11PlusLondon very highly and now use them for my youngest son, who enjoys the classes.”

SAMUEL DU (Verified on Google)

“We have done a variety of courses and mock tests, leading up to our child’s 11+ exams. All were great help with knowing what areas we needed to work on and also helped our son feel relaxed in his actual exams, and not fretting about his interviews. The feedback reports were really informative and then we could discuss things further with Jane and her team, so we really got great assistance.”
