Focus of the month - 11 plus
Helping your child prepare for entrance examinations such as the 11 plus can be a challenging, daunting and time-consuming task. The 11 plus examination for example often includes specific subjects and formats that are unfamiliar to both parents and children. We are experienced in teaching effective study and test-taking techniques which can significantly improve a child’s performance and can provide the specialised guidance and materials needed to effectively prepare pupils. This leaves you safe in the knowledge your child has all the necessary tools and strategies available to them on the day.
Reduced Stress.
Trying to be both a parent and a teacher can strain the parent-child relationship. It can be difficult to strike a balance between providing guidance and maintaining a positive, supportive atmosphere at home. Children are much more likely to resist parental instruction more than they would a tutor’s guidance, causing friction and stress within the family. Using an experienced tutor to support you and your children as you prepare for the exam reduces the pressure and anxiety felt by you all. Furthermore, it means you know that you clearly understand the level of challenge and difficulty that the examination will provide and that the advice your child is getting is correct.
Improved confidence.
Confidence is key for the 11 plus. A child must feel that they are well-prepared and parents need to know that their child’s preparations are in safe hands. Comprehensive and effective tutoring from an experienced professional means that there is no danger of underestimating the level of preparation needed and of your child being ill-prepared for the actual exam and potentially missing out on opportunities. The 11 plus is a comprehensive examination which tests a wide range of intelligences and abilities. It is rare for a child to be equally adept in all areas. Without tailored feedback and encouragement, children might become discouraged and doubt their abilities. An experienced voice is key in boosting confidence and improving understanding in more challenging areas.

About
My name is Stuart Read and I am a teacher based in Telford, Shropshire. I have over 15 years experience in the classroom.
In 2019, driven by a desire to provide support to children through a range of high-quality, fun, effective and engaging tuition, I set up Advantage Tutoring.
Experience has shown me that children, no matter what their age, thrive and learn best when they are challenged to better themselves in environments in which they feel happy and secure. I ensure that all learners who are entrusted to me are put at ease quickly so that they are ready to make the maximum progress during every session.
I assess needs quickly and ensure sessions are carefully targeted towards the needs of my individual learners.
I also believe learning is most effective when it is delivered in a fun and engaging way and strive to ensure that everyone who attends one of our sessions leaves with a true sense of achievement and progress.
