11+ Year 4 Foundation Course
Starting 11+ prep early can be overwhelming, especially when trying to find resources that are just the right level. As an experienced 11+ tutor, I’ve seen many Year 4 students struggle to find material that challenges them appropriately without being too difficult. That’s why I created this Year 4 Foundation Course, designed specifically to address this gap.
This comprehensive and structured plan offers a well-rounded approach, covering all essential topics to build a solid foundation in preparation for the real 11+ exams. The course focuses on key areas such as mental maths, vocabulary development, spelling, and essential skills, ensuring your child gains the confidence and ability they need to succeed.

By the end of this course, your child will have a strong foundation, well-prepared for the more advanced stages of 11+ prep.
