Welcome to A Star Tuition in Gloucestershire.
Due to popular demand, A Star Tuition are opening our newest 11+ tuition centre in Gloucestershire. In addition to our highly successful and oversubscribed 11 plus tuition courses across the West Midlands, students from Gloucester, Cheltenham and Stroud will now be able to benefit from our bespoke 11 + tuition courses. We also offer primary (Key Stage 2 English and Maths tuition) and SATs courses from St George's Church Centre in Brockworth, Gloucestershire, initially on Monday evenings.
Our ethos is to nurture young minds into becoming critical thinkers and develop the skills needed to successfully complete the 11 plus exam, whilst ensuring we can respond to the needs of each individual student. Our small group tutoring sessions are all conducted using pencil and paper using original resources to enhance learning. As we only see students for a limited time, we offer weekly homework to solidify classroom learning and encourage a little and often approach to work outside of our lessons. Lessons are fast paced but fun and because we keep our group sizes small, we remain agile to students needs and can differentiate work within a group setting, whilst also allowing students to build competitive friendships.
The foundation course (year 3) is our newly established programme aimed at students who are looking to bolster their English and Maths understanding in line with the national curriculum or wishing to be stretched further. The course is accessible to a wide range of children, not just children hoping to sit the 11 plus exam. Students who are thinking of sitting the 11 plus test in the future will be given early exposure to some styles of verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning questions, making it a brilliant way to prepare your child for the 11+ Jr and Year 5 11+ courses, becoming familiar with the way our sessions work.
This course is designed to build solid foundations within core 11+ maths topics, comprehension skills and introducing students to all varieties of Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning and Spatial Reasoning questions as part of the GL exam board. This course will sharpen student’s skills ingrained from ‘The Foundation Course’ and navigate a path for students to seamlessly progress into our year 5 course. Weekly homework material and half termly progress papers and reports are available to consolidate course material.
This course covers the year 6 maths syllabus, English comprehension skills, Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, Spatial Reasoning and crucially, diving deeper into 11 plus exam technique. Students will regularly complete tasks under timed conditions, allowing them to become accustomed to the 11+ exam format. Students also have the opportunity to take part in our 11+ summer intensive course, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning masterclasses and 11+ mock exams which run in the lead up to September.
We recommend opting for our package which includes weekly homework material as part of all our 11 plus and SATs tutoring courses to help students consolidate their classroom learning with us. Included in this package is weekly homework material and regular (half termly) progress test papers for students to practise the material taught each half term, to the 11 plus or SATs format. Allowing us to share progress and areas of strength and weakness with parents.
Through our sister company – The 11+ Mock Exam Company we run regular 11+ Mock tests for the Gloucestershire 11 plus Consortium. Our 11+ mock test papers have been expertly designed to replicate the most up to date question styles, format, and timings of the actual 11 plus exam.
Understanding the exam process and practising exam technique under test conditions is as important as learning the course material itself. Routinely, students need at least three 11+ mock exams to become familiar with the test style and to perform at their best. Sitting multiple 11+ mock tests allows your child to be tested on a wide variety of Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning topics to identify any which may need extra support prior to taking the real test. We offer a discounted rate for any group of three tests booked.
