Why work with me at 7 Plus Tutor?
One of the world’s most influential philosophers once said: “Education does not change the world; it changes the people who will change the world.”
Nobody can deny that proper education is essential and required for advancement in just about every field imaginable. The children of today will be the leaders of tomorrow, and the exchange of knowledge and information with the goal of fostering the development of their intellectual, affective, and moral skills, is usually the best approach to cultivating the true leaders of the future.
As a tutor, I place a very high value on education, but I also understand that navigating the education system can be challenging for some parents. For example, during Year 2, (for Year 3 entry) students are typically required to take a mathematics and English exam and occasionally there is also a reasoning exam during the 7 Plus examination process. In London, where schools sometimes receive up to 10 applicants per place, competition for positions can be quite fierce.
Although this statistic may appear to be very high, it is important to keep in mind that some students typically apply to multiple schools at once. Knowing what to anticipate from the admissions process, is very important if you are thinking about enrolling your child in an independent prep school. When your child first enters elementary school, the thought of getting them ready for exams may initially seem quite far off, however, if you are moving your child from a state primary school to an independent prep school at the start of Key Stage 2, their first formal exam might already be approaching.
