11+ Tuition with KSOL
In order to ensure your child stands the best possible chance of passing their 11+ entrance exam it is essential they
receive the correct form of 11+ preparation.
At KSOL we have a whole host of online and centre based 11+ tuition courses that cater for children no matter what
stage they are at during their 11+ preparation (be that Year 4, Year 5 or Year 6).
All of our KSOL 11+ tuition courses provide a unique blend of daily online testing, tutor reporting, prizes, rewards and
incentives. For more information on the 11+ tuition courses we provide, please visit our courses page
http://www.ksol.co.uk/11CoursesProducts.aspx.
How KSOL differs from other 11+ tuition companies
• We look at all children on our tuition courses as individuals, understanding that the educational needs of no two
children will be the same, thus allocating each child their very own 11+ online tutor to monitor their progress.
• The 11+ tests which we provide online are very diagnostic. Our experienced range of KSOL tutors spend a lot of time
profiling the strengths and weaknesses of children to ensure each child is receiving extra support within the areas
which they require further development.
• Resultantly, each child receives a timetable that is specific to the areas in which they require further practice,
allowing us to ensure that each child progresses at a pace which is right for them.
• Our tuition courses are also very progressive and incremental, gaining in complexity as a child moves through the
programme, helping children to build confidence as they progress.
• Regular 11+ tutor feedback is another great benefit of our KSOL courses. Parents receive regular progress reports
from their child’s allocated 11+ tutor which helps to give parents an insight into any areas which require further
development.
