11+ Tutoring in Stratford-upon-Avon

Expert 11 Plus Tuition for Years 4 and 5 children in Stratford-upon-Avon

Welcome to A Star Tuition in Stratford-upon-Avon.

We have expanded our highly successful and established tuition centre based in Rugby to Stratford-Upon-Avon. Offering weekly face to face tuition targeted at the Warwickshire 11+ GL examination, for entry to King Edward VI School, Stratford Girls’ Grammar School and Alcester Grammar School. Lessons are held at Shottery Memorial Hall on Thursday evenings through term time.

We are pleased to announce our arrival in Stratford-upon-Avon and look forward to sharing our expertise with students here.

We use traditional pencil and paper methods in our tuition classes to replicate the 11+ examination test paper. Our small group tuition aims to build confidence with friendly and engaging 11+ tuition classes that focus on individual needs. All of the skills needed to be successful in the GL Warwickshire 11+ examination in English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning, Non -Verbal Reasoning and Spatial Reasonig are covered in our programme, and coupled with our regular 11+ Mock Exams, our students are well prepared to tackle the 11+ exam. Through our lesson and homework material, students become proficient at working through maths worded problems as well as tackling all the varieties of Verbal Reasoning and Non Verbal Reasoning topics on a regular basis.

Stratford-upon-Avon 11+ Mock Exams

Having an understanding of the 11+ test format and practising exam technique is fundamental to 11 plus success. Alongside our regular 11 plus tutoring, we also run regular Stratford-upon-Avon 11 plus mock exams through the year. These exams are run though our sister company (The 11 Plus Mock Exam Company) and are held at Henley-in-Arden Memorial Hall or can also be completed online. Our mock exams are regularly updated to contain the most up to date question types and are regularly peer tested to make sure they are of the highest quality. As part of these exams, you will receive a full breakdown of results, ranking within the cohort and pdf workbooks containing example questions and answers similar to the exam questions to practice at home. Our series of 11+ mock exams are easily accessible for anyone living in the Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick, Alcester, or Kenilworth area.

Thank you for all your help and support in preparing Alex for his 11+ exams. He has loved your lessons and still claims you are the only person he ever learns anything from. Alex couldn’t have passed without your help so thank you.

Tasha

Thank you so much for all your help. I’ve learnt a lot and enjoyed it very much. I will never forget this!

Student

Thank you for the help that you have given our son. We initially needed tuition to bring him up to speed as he was so behind in class. He has improved so much since then. He has really settled down and caught up. We never believed the 11+ was for him because he hadn’t ever enjoyed learning until attending your tuition and realising his full potential. Thank you
