Product Details

We have produced a full year curriculum for year 5 children sitting their 11+ Style Test in September 2025.

11+ VOCABUALRY & COMPREHNSION BOOSTER

Our 11+ Vocabulary and Comprehension Booster Class is perfect to give students the extra practice and reinforcement of knowledge they need to put them in the best stead for the 11+ examination. Sessions will help students finetune their exam skills by exposing them to all the different types of English comprehension and vocabulary tasks that they are likely to encounter in the 11+ exam, and by providing them with the reading strategies and exam techniques they will need to succeed. The wide range of activities and regular practice at dissecting passages of an advanced reading age will help broaden students’ vocabulary, improve their knowledge of grammar, and refine their reading and comprehension abilities with regard to retrieval and inference style questions. These sessions will be of particular benefit to those students who need encouraging to read more extensively.

Throughout the blocks students will become more confident and competent readers who are well-prepared for the 11+ exam, and who have a better understanding of the vocabulary and comprehension concepts that they need to know in order to succeed in secondary school.


This additional course helps consolidate the learning of new vocabulary from the standard weekly session (crucial for the 11+) and covers the strategies to successfully answer complex comprehension tasks.

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."
