As such, I offer free tuition to as many disadvantaged students as I can. - Unfortunately I cannot offer free tuition for every child, but I am able to offer places for up to 25% of my students and I welcome all enquiries. - Those eligible for free tuition include children registered for Free School Meals, families on low income, and “Looked After Children” in care. - I do not ask, nor do I require, anyone to use my services on the basis of this reason alone, but if you feel the services offered by Empower 11+ Grammar Tuition are right for your child, and that you may qualify for free tuition, please state this in the “message” section of the Contact form and I will be happy to discuss this with you. https://empower11plustuition.co.uk/mock-exams daily 0.75 2019-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4f4f20c258b46a20dcbc03/1548982620705-87LJ4X76KHFZV14ZS5QY/dreamstime_m_32556108.jpg Mock Exams - Purpose: - assess where your child is in their progress and attainment, performed at timely intervals leading up to the grammar school entrance exams. - parents and students receive a detailed report of how the child has performed in maths, reading comprehension, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning. - mock exams are separate to tuition lessons; however, to be effective, their results are used to inform future teaching and therefore address any identified gaps in learning. - they resemble as closely as possible with the format, time limits and subject content of the grammar school entrance exams; this is to enable students to become more familiar with exam conditions and to build their confidence for sitting the actual entrance exams.
