INTENSIVE Maths and 11 plus COURSES
GCSE Higher Mathematics 9-1 Revision courses
Are you a parent with a child coming up to an 11 plus exam ? We would be delighted to help you. This last year I helped 9 pupils pass their 11 plus entrance exam and another of our specialist tutors with Home School Tutoring helped 3 other pupils pass their 11 plus entrance exam too.
Home-School Tutoring ( Essex) runs mock 11 plus tests for students in the area, and last year the classes, which were held on various dates, were filled quickly. We also did CSSE exams and CEM exams. It was hard work for pupils and tutors alike, but it has all been worth it !
If you are considering additional help for 11 plus entry, please contact me, Sue Horak , the Home-School Tutoring Proprietor and Area Advisor for this region.
Please contact me to book your place and if there is a particular course which you would like us to run, please let me know!

Recent Testimonials from this Area
Update on 11 plus passes this year 2018 for 2019: We have had news of seven 11 plus passes this year, with the boys receiving scores of between 356 and 360 and the girls between 110 and 111. The range for the girls is 106 – 128, which is the top group leading to being offered a place. The Grammar Schools for the boys offer places from 303 to 400, so these scores are all very good and we are delighted for the pupils and their parents.
11 plus preparation : We are extremely pleased with Sue’s tutoring service. My son enjoyed his weekly sessions and he not only learned a lot but also gained the confidence in sitting for his 11+. Sue ensured that he went in for his exam well prepared and he is now looking forward to starting in the grammar school of his choice. I would highly recommend Sue and her team. (parent of 11 plus pupil now at grammar school)
To whom it may concern: I’ve written the following statement as a reflective testimonial for the tutoring delivered to our child in preparation for the 11+ exam. The service was outstanding, the teaching methods were diverse and taught HK to think in ways that differ from what a child is accustomed to at such a young age. It taught HK to think outside the box and approach a situation in a mature manner. HK achieved an excellent mark in the assessment and we are truly grateful for all that Sue has done for our child. (parents of HK )
Testimonial year 3 tutoring : Sue started teaching my daughter J, when she was in year 3. Sue is a hard working tutor, and she is fully committed to the teaching. She tailors the teaching to meet the student’s needs, by identifying and targeting the weak areas.
Sue creates an interactive teaching and learning environment, and motivates students to engage with the study. She provides clear explanations, and links the new knowledge with examples encountered in children’s life. The little prizes on good performances work really well.
Every week Sue sets up homework for J. In the second week she goes through the homework and provides constructive feedback for improvement. The use of assessment and feedback is a very effective mechanism to support learning and identify weaknesses. Sue uses the assessment to continuously monitor our daughter’s performances, and provides guidance and coaching. The homework covers past exam papers from 2011 to present, which helps J get familiar with the question types, and trains her speed and accuracy. ( parent, Y. )
