There’s another 11+ Precision Programme starting after half-term on Tuesdays at Cofton Village Hall!

Yes, it’s because the Thursday groups are going so well… yes, it’s because already there are two students on board who wanted Tuesdays… and no, I can’t envisage there being any other groups opening after this one. So, there are 3 places left, but there is only one group. So the details are as follows, if your interest is piqued!

The nitty gritty:
Term-time Tuesdays, 5.00–6.00pm
Cofton Village Hall
Starting Tuesday 3rd November
£240 for 6 weeks

What is it and who is it for?
The 11+ Precision Programme has been designed for families who want the benefits of a structured 11+ course without losing the individual attention of private tuition.
Children follow a carefully planned 11+ curriculum, with a full one- or two-year curriculum map included, while still receiving GUARANTEED 1-1 TIME IN EVERY SESSION.
That means there is always time to work on the areas your child specifically needs, not simply participating in a group lesson and hoping it happens to be right for them.

The programme includes:
• Baseline assessments before starting
• Guaranteed 1-1 tuition time during every session
• A structured 11+ curriculum
• Additional work tailored to individual strengths and weaknesses
• EducationQuizzes.com subscription for the entire time your child remains on the programme
• A small-group environment (maximum 5 students) with a DBS-checked, qualified tutor

The programme has been created with the full 11+ journey in mind, whether your child is preparing over one year or two. However, I also understand that families need flexibility and so, for that reason, places are booked one half-term at a time.

If you would like to discuss whether the 11+ Precision Programme would be suitable for your child, please message me or contact me directly on 07934 347585 as these places cannot be booked online (although feel free to browse the website at mrsbctutoring.com).
Places are deliberately limited because the guaranteed individual tuition is a fundamental part of the programme.

I hope to hear from those last few families so we can get this running at its best!

Of all things... my phone (which wasn't in the best condition anyway) has been through a 30 degree machine wash with fairy non-bio, a1400rpm spin cycle and a blast from the dryer. Whilst it's clean, it's also unusable. The new phone is great in every way (by new phone, I mean hubbie's old phone donated at Christmas that I haven't changed to yet because of how long I knew it was going to take) EXCEPT I can't figure out how to get old messages - both WhatsApp and SMS - from one to the other. Having spent all day on this, and now being in an awful mood, I've sent out a blanket message to all apologising for not being able to access anything we might have previously arranged.

In this great technology revolution, I sometimes think it was simpler 'back in the old days'. Showing my age.

Our 11+ Precision Programme has proved so popular, we’re adding another day and time*!

And yes, I’m going to be shameless about it, because we have something here which is so completely unlike anything else out there. This isn’t a large 11+ class where every child works through exactly the same material. It isn’t even a small group doing the same.

Our 11+ Precision Programme groups are deliberately limited to just FIVE children, following a carefully structured 11+ programme covering the full curriculum - but, alongside that, each child’s work is adapted according to what they actually need. That means the support becomes increasingly individual as we get to know each child: strengthening weaker areas, building on strengths and making sure gaps aren’t simply carried forward.

And because there are only five children, every child receives GUARANTEED 1-1 attention within EVERY session.

The details?
📍 Cofton Village Hall
🗓 Tuesdays
🕔 5.00–6.00 pm
👥 Maximum 5 children - as always

One important point: these places cannot simply be booked online.
Before a child joins, we have a short telephone conversation with a parent first. That is partly to make sure you are getting the kind of 11+ support you are actually looking for — and partly so that we can make sure your child is likely to benefit from the 11+ Precision Programme.

With groups this small, the fit matters.

If you’ve been considering 11+ tuition but want something much more personal than a conventional group course, please message to register your interest and arrange an initial conversation.
