About this Course
ATHENA Tutoring Services offer effective and engaging one-to-one tuition to enable those wishing to undertake 11+ examinations to accelerate and excel.
We encompass teaching for success for both GL and combined GL/CEM assessments, and offer cutting-edge tutoring across the full range of Verbal Reasoning , English 11+ , Maths, and Non-Verbal Reasoning.
In our initial discussions, we will clearly establish the precise assessment format for the chosen school as these vary considerably. Appropriate and focused diagnostic assessments will then form the basis of our learning journey together.
The earlier a pupil begins to become confident and fluent with the requirements, format and question types demanded within GL and CEM 11 plus examinations, the greater their chances of success as 11 plus skills are very different from those directly taught in schools.
Equally, where a pupil has usually small yet significant gaps in their core English and/or Maths that require inputs to enable them to excel at 11 plus, these will be openly addressed in full consultation with parents and carers.

For the most able students
In particular, we excel in enabling the most able students to engage with, enjoy and master the most challenging dimensions of English and Maths learning, directly linked to true Greater Depth and high marks/gradings.

For those in the middle
Equally, in large, busy mainstream classes, the needs of those in the middle can all too often become overridden by the extremes of the least and most able. This can generate strength gaps in pupils’ repertoires which inevitably impacts upon future progress and attainment. As pupils transfer to secondary, any gaps in learning from KS2 can hinder successful, confident, and motivated transitions – particularly in English and Maths. Our bespoke Maths and English tutoring actively address such needs and fast-tracks both learning and motivation at Key Stage 2 and 3.

For students with Special Educational Needs
Furthermore, our tutoring proactively encompasses students with both diagnosed and Special Educational Needs. Resources and approaches are selected and designed that best address specific learning difficulties whilst also identifying and developing underpinning strengths, knowledge, and skills.
