About Us
Here at Beacon Tutoring, we aim to be a guiding light for all things 11+!
​
Navigating the system can feel overwhelming:
-
How do I know which secondary schools to choose, and how many to apply to?
-
How can I understand the differences between the assessments and know when to start preparing?
-
How can I equip my child with the skills and confidence needed to excel in the pre-tests, written papers, and interviews?​
​
Let us take away some of the stress by demystifying this complicated process.
We currently offer one-to-one tuition as well as small-group scholarship masterclasses in English and Critical Thinking.
​
Our speciality is preparing students for entrance to the UK’s most academically competitive schools. We achieve this through:
-
Challenging problem-solving tasks: Designed to foster intellectual discussion and develop higher-order thinking skills.
-
Intensive coaching in test techniques: Ensuring students understand exactly what they need to do to boost their exam scores.
-
Teaching to the top: Focusing on fluency and depth to help students reach their full potential.
​
We also curate and create an extensive range of materials you won’t find anywhere else, ensuring your child is ready for anything!
