Can you answer 50+ questions in 25 minutes? Can you cope with unexpected question types? If you come across a section in which you know you have performed poorly, can you recover and focus on the proceeding sections without allowing your previous difficulties affect your confidence? Do you know how to calm yourself down if you start to panic? This is what is expected of your child at the beginning of Year 6 when they sit grammar school entrance exams in Trafford and these very high expectations are the inspiration behind our Entrance Exam Technique Masterclass.
There is no doubt about it: grammar school entrance exams are extremely pressurised. They do not just test your child’s knowledge and skills: they also test their ability to work under pressure, to manage time and to cope with the unexpected. They demand a maturity appropriate to a child far older than ten or eleven years old – and so we need to teach our children that the exam technique strategies they use are as important as their skills and knowledge.
This, then, is our most important masterclass. Our Entrance Exam Technique Masterclass will introduce your child to:
Time management
Speeding up and slowing down
How to prioritise questions
Dealing with nerves
Checking your answers
Making an educated guess
Our masterclass in Exam Skills Mastery is suitable for children preparing to sit examinations in CEM and GL Assessment format. Our masterclasses are a unique combination of extensive online video tutorials combined with paper-based workbook activities. Your child may complete their masterclass anywhere there is an internet connection (or you may download the tutorials and save them to your device) and at their own pace. The masterclass need not be completed all in one sitting and we recommend spreading it out over two or more days. Each masterclass costs just £20. To book, please email us at info@bettertuition.co.uk.
What do our students and their parents say about our masterclasses?
What our students say
“I never thought I could do NVR and now I think it’s easy! It was a really fun masterclass and I learned a lot.”
“The masterclass was really good. I was really surprised when it was time to go home because the time passed really quickly.”
“Now I am looking forward to the exam so I can show what I can do.”
What our students’ parents say
“There is no doubt in my mind that the masterclasses Ibrahim attended made all the difference to him in the exams. He was not expected to pass and yet he smashed them all! Thank you, Paul and Christine and all the team at Better Tuition.”
“Amelia has always been a high achiever at school but didn’t have the necessary self-belief to do well in entrance exams. The masterclasses, practice exams and summer school sessions at Better Tuition all really helped her so much and we are delighted to say that we have been offered a place at Urmston Grammar today.”
“It was only when James attended a masterclass at Better Tuition that he grasped NVR. I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful tuition tuition centre to anyone whose child needs extra help for entrance exams.”
