The lectures were easy to follow and the explanations were simple. I especially liked how abstract concepts were broken down into simple examples, which helped me understand them quickly.

I appreciated the flexible schedule — since it was online, I could attend from home and re-watch recorded sessions if I missed a live class or didn’t understand something fully.

Frequently Asked Questions
Expert Year 5 11+ exam tuition for students in Hatfield & Welwyn Garden City
What does the Year 5 11+ course cover?
Our Year 5 11+ exam tuition covers the three key subject areas examined in selective school entrance tests: English (comprehension and creative writing), Maths, and Verbal Reasoning. The course runs six hours of tutoring each week across multiple sessions, and students are set between eight and nine hours of homework weekly. Everything is geared directly towards the question types and techniques children will need on exam day, whether they are sitting GL Assessment, CEM, or other 11+ formats.
Is the Year 5 course suitable for children who didn't do Year 4?
Absolutely. Our Year 5 11+ preparation in Hatfield and Welwyn Garden City is open to students who completed our Year 4 course and to those joining from scratch. Children starting fresh are assessed so tutors understand their current level and can plan their support accordingly. The programme is intensive by design, including six hours of tuition and up to nine hours of homework each week, so we make sure every student is set up with the right foundations before the programme begins.
How does the Year 5 programme build exam confidence?
Year 5 11+ preparation focuses heavily on making children comfortable with exam conditions, not just subject content. Weekly mock exams mean students practise working against the clock every single week, so by the time the real 11+ arrives, the format holds no surprises. Tutors explain how to manage time across different question types, how to handle questions they find difficult, and how to check their work before time runs out. This regular exposure is what builds the calm, focused approach children need on exam day.
How is my child's progress tracked throughout Year 5?
Our Year 5 11+ tuition includes six-weekly monitoring exams in English, Maths, and Verbal Reasoning, as well as weekly mock tests throughout the programme. End-of-term progress reports set out what each child has achieved and which areas need more focus in the weeks ahead. Parents receive honest, detailed feedback rather than vague reassurances, so families in Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield always know exactly how their child is getting on and can make informed decisions about where to direct their child’s revision time.
