How can we help your child?

We are Mark and Mandy, plus a great team of teachers who prepare children for selective entrance exams for Grammar Schools and Independent Schools plus we now offer GCSE Maths and English.

We are specialists in our field and over 1000 children have reached the required standard for their chosen school with our support.

We have tutored children for our local selective school, Heckmondwike Grammar School, for over twelve years and have gained a vast amount of knowledge and experience.

We have produced our own bespoke materials designed to help students prepare for their entrance test.

The sessions and structured, fast paced and stretch the most able of students.

Our materials cover maths, English, and patterns (non-verbal reasoning) plus Verbal Reasoning 

We are very proud that 146 of our students gained a place at their chosen school this year.

We offer ONLINE sessions throughout the week.

We can also offer tuition and support to all children of primary school age through our partners, Graham and Sarah.

If you want to prepare your child for grammar school entry or your goal is to improve your child’s confidence and skills, we offer an extremely professional, personalised service.

BRAND NEW YEAR 3 CLASSES

Year 3 Course

Week Commencing Monday 23 rd February – 29 th March

We are very excited to announce that we will be offering an online course for Y3 for the first time ever.

We have had many enquiries and feel that this is the right time.

The course will run in exactly the same way as the Y4 and Y5 course. There will be elements of all 11+ subjects.

MATHS

The big focus will be on basic skills – most especially MENTAL MATHS STRATEGIES – it is essential to master these skills early.

READING

We will be reading one book over the first five weeks – ENID BLYTON – The Enchanted Wood. This tale is well-loved and a joy to use as a reading focus as the characters are delightful, the adventures exciting and the work that can be produced from this book as a stimulus is wonderful.

CREATIVE WRITING

The writing element will also be based around the book – a range of skills will be taught in preparation for Y4 and Y5 classes.

TEACHERS

The Y3 course will be an extension of our Y4 and Y5 course and will be taught by one of the team.

Classes will be 80 minutes – 5 minute warm up/welcome and then 25 minutes each of reading/vocabulary, maths and creative writing.

THE FIRST CLASS WILL BE A FREE ONE HOUR INTRODUCTION AND MEET THE TEACHERS EVENT. THIS WILL TAKE PLACE ON SATURDAY 7 TH FEBRUARY AND SUNDAY 8 TH FEBRUARY – BOTH AT 10AM-11AM –

About us

our pupils

Tuition classes
"Amanda and Mark are highly experienced professional tutors with a superb track record in raising children's academic standards.  Having lived in the local area, they understand local grammar school entrance examination requirements and the majority of children taught by them go on to achieve a pass mark.  They are very well organised and provide individual mentors and support to children as well as tailored feedback to parents!  Highly recommended. Thank you both."
