As a dedicated home education teacher in the UK, I have spent many years preparing students for the 11+ grammar school entrance exams. These exams are a crucial step for those aiming to attend grammar schools, and effective preparation can make all the difference. I offer free live lessons to support home-educated children in their journey towards academic success.
In my approach to teaching maths for the 11+ exams, I break the learning process into three distinct levels. Each level builds on the previous one, ensuring a comprehensive understanding and familiarity with the types of questions students will face.
Level 1: Building a Strong Foundation
The first level focuses on grasping the basics of specific topics. This stage is essential for students to understand the core concepts before tackling more complex problems. We achieve this through targeted worksheets that cover individual topics. These worksheets help solidify the foundational knowledge needed for more advanced questions.
Level 2: Tackling Real KS2 Exam Questions
Once the basics are mastered, we move on to Level 2, where students begin to engage with real Key Stage 2 (KS2) exam questions. These questions are split by topic, allowing students to become familiar with the style and format of exam questions. My extensive database of KS2 exam questions, organised by topic, is an invaluable resource at this stage. This level bridges the gap between basic understanding and the more challenging 11+ questions.
Level 3: Mastering 11+ Grammar School Exam Questions
The final stage, Level 3, involves working with actual 11+ grammar school entrance exam questions. Again, these are split by topic to allow focused practice. At this level, students refine their exam techniques and develop the confidence needed to tackle the 11+ exams successfully. This targeted practice is crucial for honing the skills necessary to excel in the real exams.
Supporting Home Education in the UK
As a home education teacher in the UK, I understand the unique challenges and opportunities that home schooling provides. My free live lessons are designed to support home-educated children, ensuring they have access to quality education and the tools they need to succeed in their 11+ exams.
Home education in the UK offers flexibility and a tailored approach to learning, which can be incredibly beneficial for preparing for the 11+ exams. By breaking down the preparation into these three levels, I ensure that students build a solid foundation, become familiar with exam formats, and finally, master the skills needed to excel in the 11+ exams.
For parents and guardians involved in home education, using this structured approach can make a significant difference in your child’s preparation. My live lessons are available to guide you through each level, providing support and expertise every step of the way.
