11+ and School entrance exams

I have many years experience working with pupils throughout year 5 to prepare them for the 11+ exam the following September.

I offer sound advice to parents, as well as on-going support and assessments to boost core skills in:-

  • Maths
  • Verbal Reasoning
  • Spatial and non verbal reasoning
  • English

I have a very high success rate in tutoring 11+ students as I prepare them to a very high standard helping them to gain entry to their desired school.

How do I achieve this?

After an initial assessment, I can design a proactive plan to coach and support your child throughout year 5 for the forthcoming exam in September the following year. The focus is on building core maths skills as well as building up a comprehensive vocabulary with a good command of spelling and grammar. I put a strong emphasis on how your child develops their thinking and reasoning skills as this is a key area in achieving success in this exam.

The Kent test is a multiple choice format and towards the exam date, I give plenty of practice using standard practice papers so your child gets used to this style of exam. We have regular reviews to check that we are on course to reach the desired goal and use exam techniques such as timed assessments, leaving tricky questions until the end, spelling and vocabulary tests so your child is fully prepared for the exam in September (FAQs for more information)

Rowena has tutored my daughter for 13 months and she successfully passed her 11+ and taken her ISEB exams. Rowena was very good at identifying areas of improvement and bought along additional materials like practise papers every week. She also provides homework so that a structure can be maintained throughout the week. My daughter really looked forward to her lessons. Would highly recommend Rowena.

I would highly recommend Rowena to anyone looking to prepare for the Kent Test or simply increase their child’s confidence in certain subjects. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds in terms of knowledge and has flourished. Rowena provided the perfect balance of encouragement and expectation and we will forever be grateful for all that she has done. Highly highly recommend!!!!!

We have just completed 11 plus/ Kent test preparation with Rowena for my second born son. (We also used Rowena for our eldest son too). Both boys thrived under her teaching and actually looked forward to their weekly lessons! From a parent’s perspective, Rowena took all the potential stress away from the parent as I was not to get involved in any of the homework set. She sets homework each week but it was always pitched at the right level and quantity. I would highly recommend her to any family about to embark on the Kent test journey as she knows what is required to pass the test and can give your child the best possible chance.
