Attending our Summer Intensive Course will allow your child to develop their skills and exam technique so they are fully equipped to tackle the 9 plus entrance examinations. It covers all key aspects of the exam in an encouraging and engaging manner, covering a vast syllabus in just 5 days.
What is the 5 Day 9 Plus Summer Course?
The 9+ Summer Intensive Course is specifically tailored to improve your child’s grades in the run-up to their upcoming 9 Plus entrance examinations. It is suited to students who have started preparation late and are required to cover the curriculum in a short period of time, as well as for those who have worked through the year and wish to hone their skills and achieve higher marks in their exams.
It’s no secret that a child’s academics tend to falter over the long summer break, for this reason it’s important they revisit the most commonly featured subjects of the exam to fill any remaining gaps in knowledge and strengthen their understanding of those already learned. The week has lessons based on the four key elements of your child’s 9 plus admissions process: Maths, English, Reasoning (verbal/non-verbal) and Interview Skills. We ensure all important topics and areas are covered throughout the week and detailed feedback on your child is recorded as the course progresses. Our interview sessions teach your child what to expect on the day of the interview, how to tackle more challenging interview questions and how to confidently take part in group interviews.
Class size is limited, with a 7:1 student-to-tutor ratio to ensure focused and effective learning. Coursebooks and materials are provided throughout the course and returned to students at the end, allowing them to revise what was taught in class or practise topics our tutors have identified as sticking points before taking their exams.
How is the course structured?
The Summer Intensive Course takes place over 5 days (Monday to Friday) from 10am – 3.30pm each day. The classes are interactive and encouraging, with a team of expert tutors who keep children engaged and excited throughout the week.
The course begins and ends with mock examinations conducted in timed test conditions. This gives the opportunity for your child to become more comfortable with the format of their upcoming exams, as well as allowing us insight into their current strengths/weaknesses. These assessments enable us to tailor your child’s week, as well as providing detailed feedback and advice to parents upon completion of the course.
Here are some example topics of what the Summer holiday courses cover:
Children are welcome to join us for multiple weeks. Each week’s course will be different, so children who have attended our courses previously will extend their learning and will not be repeating the same content.
Who is the course for?
The 9 Plus Summer Course is designed for Year 3 (going into year 4 in September) students preparing for 9+ independent school entrance exams, as well as Year 3 students gearing up for 10+ /11+ independent and grammar school exams. Whether your child has been preparing for years or is just starting their journey, this course welcomes all students, regardless of their current stage in the process.
We have personally helped students gain acceptance into schools such as:

“Did mix of group classes on Saturdays and one to one tuition online with Harry and Jane during weekdays for preparation for 11+ grammar schools. Very good at helping my twins with passing the grammar school exams.
Very helpful and nice small company feel so they really knew me and my children. Jane and Monique were happy to take my calls to answer questions I had. Harry was great at keeping my children engaged, especially one daughter who did not want to do tuition in beginning. All very good experience.”

“Exceptional 11 Plus Tutoring Service!
I couldn’t be happier with the tutoring service provided by 11 Plus London. From the outset, they demonstrated professionalism and a deep understanding of the 11 Plus curriculum. Their tailored approach to teaching ensured that my child not only grasped challenging concepts but also gained confidence in their abilities. With their guidance, my child excelled in the exams, achieving outstanding results. I highly recommend their services for anyone seeking top-notch 11 Plus preparation. Five stars without hesitation!”

“Excellent Saturday school and tuition. Run by friendly, professional people with many years of experience with the schooling systems (grammars and fee paying private schools). My son attended from age 8 to 10 when he sat the 11+ and passed Kent grammar exams with flying colours. I recommend 11PlusLondon very highly and now use them for my youngest son, who enjoys the classes.”

“Outstanding Tutor! Jane and 11Plus have been an indispensable partner in helping our daughter prepare for her 11+ exams. Jane started with an assessment of our daughters level and developed a tailored learning journey starting from the summer and all the way to the interview process. Our daughter received offers from G&L and City thanks to Jane’s top class coaching and guidance. We could not have done it without her and would recommend her highly!”

“My daughter was tutored through 11+ plus London on a weekly basis and also through some of their face-to-face courses for preparation for the Tiffin Girls’ School entrance exams. Jane, Harry and the team were excellent throughout the process. My daughter mainly did maths tutoring as her English we did separately; the quality of the maths tuition I found to be excellent. There was good initial assessment together with a plan for improvement within the time available before the exams.
The end result is that my daughter has now been offered a place at Tiffin Girls’ School for year 7 which we are going to accept. Jane and the team were a huge help in making this happen, together, of course, with a huge amount of hard work from my daughter.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the help you have given to my child and in preparing for the 11+ assessment. Teachers are amazing and my child could learn exam techniques enjoyably and efficiently. With your wonderful support, my child could have got an offer from his first choice school.
Highly recommend.”
