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.
Traditional in-person tuition can be costly, so this plan provides the same high-quality instruction at a more affordable price, with all the essential elements covered.
By the end of this course, your child will have a strong foundation, well-prepared for the more advanced stages of 11+ prep.
