Liz's 11+ tutoring services are specifically designed to prepare students for entrance exams to local grammar schools. After speaking with parents/ carers she conducts informal suitability assessments to ensure the 11+ is the right path for each child, being honest with parents about whether it is likely to be within their child’s reach. It’s not about passing or failing, but about finding the most suitable school for each individual.

The sessions aim to address any learning gaps, build knowledge, develop test-taking strategies, and boost confidence. Liz recognises the importance of wellbeing throughout this process, helping students manage stress and build self-belief. Her approach combines academic support with a confidence-boosting environment, ensuring students are prepared for the 11+ tests.
