π SOUND ON: Listen to How the Children Solve the Puzzles!
This week in Arithmetic Reasoning, we focused on slowing down and reading each question carefully before jumping to an answer. The children practised using their mental maths skills, spotting key information, and working methodically through problems.
In Non-Verbal Reasoning, we tackled series puzzles, concentrating on identifying one change at a time rather than looking at everything at once. Breaking the patterns down into smaller steps helped the children solve even the trickiest questions with confidence!
Itβs always fantastic to hear their thought processes and see their problem-solving skills developing week by week. π§ β¨

POV: We make Tuition FUN!
πβ¨ Building Confidence Through Smart Strategies!
This weekβs 11+ preparation session focused on developing key skills and teaching students how to approach questions effectivelyπ‘
π€ English β Homophones
We explored common homophones and practised understanding the meaning of words within a sentence before tackling more challenging 11+ style questions. Understanding the context is key! β
π Comprehension
Students continued working on finding evidence within a text, learning to identify important keywords in the question first to help locate answers more quickly and accurately π
π§ Verbal Reasoning
We focused on applying a methodical approach to fact-based questions, helping students break problems down step-by-step and improve both speed and confidence π
Itβs fantastic to see our students developing not only their knowledge but also the exam techniques needed to succeed π

Tonightβs 11+ session focused on building confidence and strategy.
In Non-Verbal Reasoning, students practised spotting one change at a time before progressing to questions with up to five changes, learning how to focus on a single element to simplify complex problems.
In Maths, we applied unit conversion skills to GL-style questions and worked on recognising when mental maths is the quickest approach versus when written methods are needed.
Great progress all round! πβ¨
