11+ Entrance Exam Tuition for Trafford Grammar Schools and Independent Schools.

At The Study Space, we have a great deal of experience at preparing pupils for Trafford & Manchester Grammar School Entrance Exams and Independent Schools.

What we teach.

We offer tuition in maths (including numerical reasoning), English (including comprehension and vocabulary skills that are so important in the GL & CEM tests) Non-Verbal Reasoning, Verbal reasoning and creative writing. All our 11+ pupils get free access to online testing materials. All materials required for homework and in tuition sessions are included in the price of tuition, making our Entrance Exam tuition package excellent value.

How we teach

We offer structured and comprehensive sessions allowing for plenty of one to one support. All of our Entrance Exam tuition is carried out by experienced, fully qualified teachers.

Pupil well-being and confidence is important.

We aim to build confidence and minimise stress and anxiety with our tutoring.  We know that sometimes even extremely knowledgeable children have a bad day and do not pass the exams. We put the emphasis on studying to prepare for the next stage of their education (Year 6 SATs and secondary school) so that each child has a sense of achievement and purpose.

Not sure if Grammar School is the right choice for your child?

We have found that strong Entrance Exam candidates share the following characteristics:

  • Children who pass the Entrance Exams are generally working above age-related expectations for their year group and in top ability groups at school.
  • They have a high reading age, usually significantly higher than their chronological age. They should also be keen readers with a wide and varied vocabulary.
  • They are self-motivated, hard-working and want to achieve well academically.
  • They are willing to practise and readily complete their homework.

At The Study Space we are parents as well as teachers and will give you honest feedback on your child’s suitability following an assessment and throughout their time with us, should you choose to go ahead with tuition.

Our free assessment / free taster session lasts approximately 40 to 80 minutes depending on age which allows us to identify areas for concern and to work on an individual programme tailored to your child. From Reception to Year 7 the activities are split up into 6 areas. This might for example be 4 Maths areas and 2 English or split evenly depending on the assessment. Once a student reaches Year 8 they are ready to start working towards their GCSE and so students usually pick a subject they need to work on such as a Pure Mathematics Programme Only, English Language or Literature, Science, History or Geography.
