11 Plus Year 4 Foundation Course
It can be confusing knowing which 11 plus resources to start with when you are starting your prep early. This is why, after many of my tutees in year 4 never had work that was the perfect level for them, I created this set of resources. This comprehensive plan is well-rounded, structured and covers all topics to build a strong foundation in time for the real exams.
Focusing on individual skills, mental maths, vocabulary building and spelling, your student will feel much more confident after completing this course.
In-person courses can obviously be a hefty price and so this plan covers all that would be taught in-person at a much more affordable price.
