Building Bright Futures With A Star Tutoring’s 11+ Programme In Newcastle-Under-Lyme
For Independent And Grammar School Exams For CEM/GL
The 11 plus is a critical and highly competitive examination that determines whether your child will gain entry to the school of their choice.
Our dedicated team of expert tutors specialise in delivering exceptional 11+ tuition to children in the Staffordshire area. With their extensive subject knowledge and proven track record, our tutors are well-equipped to guide students towards success.
The children we tutor undergo an initial assessment with us which tests their readiness to take the 11 plus, and maps out the specific areas which require further development. After this initial assessment we meet with you to go through the results of the assessment in detail and cover how our programme can help.
Our 11 plus programme is designed to develop a student’s skills and confidence in preparation for the verbal reasoning, comprehension, and mathematics sections of their 11 plus entrance exam.
With a student-centred approach, our tutors build strong connections with their students, understanding their individual strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. This personalised approach allows them to tailor their instruction and provide the necessary support to enhance student performance. Our tutors go above and beyond to create a supportive and engaging learning environment, fostering a love for learning and empowering students to overcome challenges.

What is covered as part of our 11+ Tuition Programme?
Our 11+ tuition services are specifically tailored to prepare students for both Grammar Schools and Independent School entrance exams. We equipt them with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in these highly competitive assessments.The programme is split into three parts, each part running for four months. This programme can be adapted into a two-year in-depth course depending on the students’ needs and the time available.
We advise starting two years before your child will sit the 11 plus exam, and our programme ensures your child covers all the critical aspects and skills involved. We offer tuition for both the CEM and the GL assessments. At the end of each part of the programme we use rigorous assessments and checklists to ensure your child is on track. Throughout the process we provide detailed feedback to parents on how their child is progressing.
The 11+ Exam covers 4 key subjects, all of which are covered as part of our 11+ tuition syllabus:
English
We recognise the importance of strong English skills for success in the 11+ exam. Our expert tutors provide comprehensive English tuition, focusing on key areas such as grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, and creative writing. Through engaging lessons and targeted practice, we help students develop their reading, writing, and critical thinking abilities, enabling them to tackle the English component of the 11+ exam with confidence.
Maths
In the 11+ exam, mathematics is crucial. Our tutors excel in teaching concepts and problem-solving techniques. We cover arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and statistics. Through interactive teaching and personalised guidance, we boost students’ mathematical proficiency for success in the 11+ Maths section.
Verbal Reasoning
Verbal Reasoning is a crucial aspect of the 11+ exam, testing students’ ability to analyse and comprehend written information. Our tutors offer focused tuition, covering comprehension passages, cloze tests, and word analogies. Students learn to identify key information, make inferences, and draw logical conclusions. With targeted instruction and ample practice, they excel in the 11+ Verbal Reasoning component.
Non-Verbal Reasoning
Non-Verbal Reasoning in the 11+ exam tests visual pattern and spatial reasoning skills. Our experienced tutors specialise in this area, covering sequences, codes, analogies, and spatial awareness. With hands-on practice and tailored guidance, students develop observation, logical reasoning, and pattern recognition abilities.

Feedback on our 11 Plus Tuition
I would definitely recommend A Star to other parents
“He had lost some ground during COVID and was not performing at his best.
Noah feels more confident and has improved so that he has passed his 11 Plus exam for Stafford Grammar. He has developed his understanding of fractions and at school he is way ahead of everyone else in his class. He has also improved with his knowledge of synonyms which has helped him in school as well as helping him to pass the 11 plus exam.
I would describe A Star as responsive with good communication and I would definitely recommend A Star to other parents wanting to help their child to pass the 11 Plus.”
