Description
This is our first 8+ preparation course of the year. This is an invaluable course which will allow you to gauge your child’s current strengths and weaknesses, giving you an early insight into what they will need to do between now and the exams. It will help you to strategically prepare them over the months ahead.
Led by experienced EPP tutors and former teachers, this course will provide a 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. A detailed 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.
