Online 11+ English tuition
Small live groups, materials sent ahead of every lesson, homework that stays manageable and feedback written for your child. Here is what learning with English Matters looks like in practice, week by week.
Every child known personally
Getting started
No forms and no obligation. One conversation is usually all it takes.
Tell me your child’s year group and the schools you have in mind.
I’ll suggest the group that suits your child and let you know current availability.
The Zoom link and first materials arrive by email before the first lesson.
Once your child joins
The same clear rhythm every week, so children and parents always know what is coming.
Lesson materials and the Zoom link are emailed in advance, normally the day before the lesson.
Sixty minutes, live on Zoom, with no more than five pupils. Depending on what is being taught, children:
In a group of five, every child takes part — and I get to know each one properly.
Set each week to reinforce what was taught. Homework is highly recommended and kept manageable — it is never meant to become a burden. Further practice is often offered too, with some marked as optional.
Completed work can be scanned and emailed back. It is returned with individual feedback — what is working, and what to do next.
… and into next week
Support for parents
Parents are closely involved in their child’s preparation, so they need to know what is happening and how to help. From the start, you are part of it — with the materials, the guidance and the contact you need to help your child well.
You will always know what your child is working on, what comes next, and how you can help at home.
I stay in touch with parents about how their child is getting on, and you can message me whenever you have a question.
Every week’s materials come to you, with clear instructions about what needs to be done.
As the preparation develops, you’ll know where the focus is and what to prioritise.
Practical suggestions for working with your child alongside the lessons.
Appropriate practice is provided as the preparation builds, so you are never left looking for it.
Over the months
The work is structured and develops gradually, step by step.
Vocabulary in context, inference, evidence, writing and accuracy.
Once children have settled, to identify strengths and gaps.
Introduced gradually, so working to time becomes familiar.
Later on, when the time is right.
Comprehension and strong core English skills stay at the centre throughout
Parents’ perspective
Very deep and thorough feedback, enabling a profound sense of calm and confidence
Her regular updates kept me informed about his progress
Lessons are structured and paced to meet each student’s needs
Send a WhatsApp message with your child’s year group and the schools you are considering, and I’ll let you know which group would suit and what is currently available.
