Description
This is our third course of the year. At this stage in the preparation process we are looking to consolidate core concepts, revise the trickier subjects and bring in independent, timed work and proven exam strategies. In maths, we will be revising the fundamentals, helping students to apply the fundamentals to more difficult questions, practising more advanced topics and encouraging children to challenge themselves in this subject. In English, we will continue to seek accurate, more in-depth comprehension responses, widen vocabularies and develop the skills of exam-style creative writing.
Led by experienced EPP tutors and former teachers, this course will provide a comprehensive programme of skills-based study using exclusive EPP materials. As well as a week of rigorous learning, there will be added take home material for you to work on with your child after the course, to consolidate and reinforce their skills. A short report will be prepared at the end of the course, so you will see how your child has performed and the areas they will need to focus on in the coming months, providing invaluable structure for your 8+ journey.
Our courses are taught in small groups in a fun and lively atmosphere. The aim is to build your child’s confidence and skills with plenty of encouragement and positive reinforcement.
We’ve been running these courses for a number of years now and we know exactly what is required to succeed at 8+ at the top schools. Previous course attendees have gone on to gain places at a number of top schools, including St. Paul’s Juniors, Westminster Under, King’s Wimbledon, Dulwich College, Wetherby, Sussex House and many more.
