Mr Benjamin F
11+, 13+, Common Entrance Tutor

As a Mathematics/NVR specialist, I generally prepare children for 11+ entrance/GCSE Maths with a particular focus on identifying gaps in knowledge and offering tailored tutoring to fill those highlighted needs to ensure success. I have a proven track record of building confidence and understanding in my one-to-one sessions, which translates to happier and more successful learners. I believe every child can succeed and be stretched beyond the school learning environment, which is imperative for the 11+, with the right support and targeted intervention. I have helped numerous previous pupils secure offers from Pates, Stratford, Alcester, Tommies, Denmark Road, Woodford Girls, Newcastle Grammar, Lancaster Girls, Godolphin Latymer, St Pauls girls. Full assessment for CEM/GL: Maths, NVR, verbal, comprehension, synonyms/antonyms.

I have supervised a number of undergraduate degree dissertations and masters (MSc) projects for Science and Mathematics related subjects and have tutored privately to degree level. I chose to work at secondary key stage because I feel that this is generally the point in people's lives when a lot of wider and holistic learning occurs - and hence the age group that I can make the most difference in. I have experience in teaching and tutoring to a high standard and currently, I am the Head of Maths at my school. Upon an assessment lesson, I will give you feedback and targets we can work on, with milestones so you are sure your child is making progress.

Tuition with a qualified School Entrance Exam teacher at your home costs from £50.00 ph. Online tuition with a qualified School Entrance Exam teacher costs from £44.00 ph. Create your own small tuition group and School Entrance Exam tuition costs from £17.50 ph.

Because we only ever work with qualified and experienced School Entrance Exam teachers, you will always get a highly experienced teacher who is safe, reliable and up to speed with the current curriculum and exam requirements. There is no excellent learning without excellent teaching, and our School Entrance Exam teachers are expected to teach in a way that inspires and motivates. We have over 20,000 talented teachers providing tuition, chosen for their broad range of experience, professionalism, academic specialisms, passion, and dedication to their students. We only ever offer qualified teachers as tutors, as we believe professional teachers provide the highest quality of tuition.

Location
Home Tuition: Involves a School Entrance Exam tutor coming to your home to provide one-on-one instruction. This offers convenience as you don't need to travel. Online Tuition: This can take place anywhere with an internet connection. Small Group Tuition: Typically with between 2 to 4 children, and often occurs in a physical location such as your home, though it can also be online.

Individual Attention
Home Tuition: Offers the highest level of individual attention, as the School Entrance Exam tutor focuses solely on one student. Online Tuition: Still allows for one-to-one attention, but it may be slightly less personal than home tuition due to potential distractions. Small Group Tuition: Offers less individual attention as the School Entrance Exam tutor must divide their time and attention among multiple students.

Cost
Home Tuition: This tends to be more expensive because it involves one-on-one teaching, and the School Entrance Exam tutor is required to travel to your home. Online Tuition: Often more affordable than home tuition as your School Entrance Exam tutor does not need to travel but may still cost more than small group tuition. Small Group Tuition: Generally, this is the most cost-effective option, as the costs are shared among several families.

Flexibility
Home Tuition: Offers flexibility in terms of scheduling and curriculum, as your School Entrance Exam tutor will only be working with your child. Online Tuition: Provides flexibility in terms of location and may offer a wider selection of School Entrance Exam tutors. Small Group Tuition: Lessons will be more difficult to schedule as lesson times will have to fit in with other families.

Interaction
Home Tuition: Offers in-person interaction, which can be beneficial for students who learn better through face-to-face communication. Online Tuition: Provides interaction through video conferencing tools and chat, which can be engaging but may not suit everyone's learning style. Small Group Tuition: Allows for peer interaction, which can benefit collaborative learning and discussions.

The choice between home, online, or small group School Entrance Exam tuition depends on your preferences, budget, and the student's specific educational needs. Each option has advantages and disadvantages, so it's essential to consider these factors when deciding.
