Tests and examinations are a part of school life and life thereafter. Whilst our children cannot avoid it, students perform much better when they have the right support in place. We can help with removing the stress surrounding examinations by preparing them well and giving them the best chance at succeeding.

Whatever career path they choose in the future, it is essential that students gain good grades at GCSE in order for them to be able to study the A Levels that they wish to choose. Our SATs, 7+, 11+ and GCSE tuition ensures that students have a thorough understanding of the topics, curriculum and content.  During the run up to exams exam techniques are strengthened to enable our students to remain calm and focused during the exams.
