At Impact Tuition we have a great deal of experience at preparing pupils for Trafford & Manchester Grammar School Entrance Exams, both as teachers and parents. We have a wide range of teaching resources, based on both the Durham University CEM and the GL style exams, that take into account changes to the Trafford Entrance Exams in 2016.
We offer tuition in maths (including numerical reasoning), English (including comprehension and vocabulary skills that are so important in the CEM tests) Non-Verbal Reasoning, Verbal reasoning and creative writing. All our 11+ pupils get free access to online testing materials. All materials required for homework and in tuition sessions are included in the price of tuition, making our Entrance Exam tuition package excellent value.
We offer structured and comprehensive small group sessions with 3 or 4 pupils in each group, allowing for plenty of one to one support as well as independent work and group activities. All of our Entrance Exam tuition is carried out by experienced, fully qualified teachers.
Our lessons are personalised to each individual pupil, NOT a group lesson where all pupils cover a set topic or follow a fixed programme of study or course.We believe that all pupils are individual with different strengths and weaknesses and, whilst there are aspects of the exams that all pupils need to cover, some need to spend more time on the parts of the exams that they find the most difficult. Each lesson is created weekly for individual pupils, using assessment from previous lessons and homework, and is designed to meet their own unique learning needs.
11+ MOCK EXAMS AND WORKSHOPS
In addition to our regular tuition, we offer additional workshops covering aspects of the exams that commonly cause problems for pupils. We also provide mock entrance exams to help pupils prepare for the real exams. These exams are a very effective way of enabling pupils to get used to the timings required and concentrating for an extended time. They are customised for specific schools by exam provider (either GL or Durham University CEM) or exam paper type (Maths, English, VR or NVR) Full written feedback is given which enables pupils to focus on weaker areas as they progress towards the exams.

Parent testimonials for our 11+/ Entrance Exam tuition
Nathan always looks forward to his Tuesday session at Impact. He finds the work stimulating and challenging but feels at home in the informal welcoming environment. Thanks to Kelly, who assisted his older brother to success in his Grammar School Entrance Exams in 2013. I would (and have!) recommended Impact to other parents.

Last minute 11+ tuition? We can help!
Although we recommend that pupils ideally begin to prepare for Entrance Exams at the beginning of Year 5, we can still support pupils who are starting their preparation at a later stage. Please do bear in mind that pupils starting later will need to put in a great deal of effort to cover the exam content and prepare sufficiently. This may require more than one lesson a week.
We offer online resources (included in tuition fees) and are open throughout August, offering 11+ workshops in English, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning and Mock Exams in addition to great value 2 hour Summer School sessions
Not sure if Grammar School is the right choice for your child?
We have found that strong Entrance Exam candidates share the following characteristics:
- Children who pass the Entrance Exams are generally on track for good Level 5 results in Mathematics and English in their Y6 SATS.
- They have a high reading age, usually significantly higher than their chronlogical age. They should also be keen readers with a wide and varied vocabulary.
- They are self-motivated, hard-working and want to achieve well academically.
- They are in the top ability groupings in their class at Primary School.
- They achieved Level 3s in their end of Key Stage 1 SATS.
- They are willing to practise and readily complete their homework.
At Impact Tuition we are parents as well as teachers, we have been through the 11+ system with our own children as well as our pupils and will give you honest feedback on your child’s suitability following an assessment and throughout their time with us, should you choose to go ahead with tuition.
