Watching your child prepare for the 11+ can feel like a huge weight on your shoulders. In North Finchley, with fantastic schools like Queen Elizabeth's and Henrietta Barnett on the horizon, it's natural to worry if your child's reading skills are strong enough for the tough Verbal Reasoning and English papers.

Why Strong Reading Skills are Key for the 11+ and Beyond
Excellent reading comprehension isn't just about enjoying a book; it's the foundation for success in the 11+ exam. A strong vocabulary and the ability to understand complex texts are essential for tackling the Verbal Reasoning and English sections with confidence. These skills will continue to support your child as they move on to secondary school, helping them analyse quotes in GCSE English, understand complex problems in science, and write compelling essays at A-Level and beyond. It’s a skill that opens doors at every stage of their education.

Eleanor B
Great first 'getting to know' lesson. Ellie helped Monty warm to the idea of tutoring by tapping nicely into his interests (he said afterwards that he really liked her) . He is positive about having another session next week. It was good that they could discuss his current school book; I think this is going to help him.

Hannah B
Within 5 minutes of specking to Hannah, I knew she was going to be my son’s tutor. She’s personable, passionate and knows her industry inside out. We’ve only had 2 lessons, but I can see the confidence and enjoyment on my son’s face as he’s learning. My son said after his 2nd lesson, ‘Hannah is so calm and I’m really enjoying tutoring’. We are actually so blessed to have found Hannah.

Nic H
Nic is a very experienced teacher who is able to adapt to different children, with an array of tools up her sleeve to keep the child engaged. After every lesson Nic is very good at telling me what they went through and what we should be focusing on. I think I am even learning myself on letter formation!
My daughter is a high functioning autistic person in reception, who needs to close some gaps in her phonics, numbers and handwriting. The leap from reception to year 1 can be difficult and Nic is helping me to get my daughter to a level where she will feel stable with the transition.
I was worried that a 1hr lesson would be too hard for my daughter and that she would not be engaged. My daughter is fully engaged and I am very impressed with what my daughter can achieve in her lesson.

Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are very familiar with the requirements for competitive grammar schools. They can focus on building the advanced comprehension, vocabulary, and inference skills your child will need for the English and Verbal Reasoning papers.
