Mother of 16 Plus StudentWant to know more about our tutors? Contact us today to discuss your requirements.
16 plus exams are not standardized and require your child to do well at the specific subject areas they intend to study in their sixth form. Our range of tutors ensure that your child has a specialist suited to their desired subject areas, and who is also familiar with the particular format of the 16 plus at the schools they intend to apply to. This bespoke support will help your child maximise their performance during these challenging and competitive exams.
Our tutors are also familiar with the issues of preparing for a 16 plus exam while also preparing for GCSE or IGCSE exams simultaneously and can ensure your child manages their revision and preparation planning accordingly.
All tutoring is tailored to the individual needs of each child based on their strengths, weaknesses, learning style and the entrance procedures at the schools they are applying to.
Our typical 16 plus tutoring includes:

During the first session the tutor starts by assessing where the child is at, their academic ability, their strengths and perceived weaknesses. Tutors will then devise a programme tailored to the specific circumstances of the student and your target school at 16+.
After the first lesson, one of our dedicated client managers will contact you to find out how the lesson went. Our client managers are always available at the end of the phone and they are frequently praised for their efficiency, dedication and responsiveness.

Almost every UK independent school sets their own 16+ entrance examinations, and in addition schools will request previous school reports, a personal statement, a school reference, and predicted GCSE grades. Students are usually offered a conditional place, subject to achieving the school’s minimum GCSE requirements. Schools will prioritize academic performance in the entrance tests when making a decision, but they will also look at the student’s overall profile and their potential contribution to wider school life.
Preparation for the 16 plus exams should begin when the student is in February/March of Year 10 around 18 months before the start of the Year 12 academic year. At this stage, the student should know which A level / IB subjects they wish to choose and an idea of what level of school they would like to target.
