10. Can Select Tutors give my child the attention he / she needs?

Select’s distinct advantage is the customised individual instruction your child receives from our trained and certified tutors. This type of personalised interaction ensures that your child will have his / her questions and needs addressed quickly. At our centre, there is no danger of being ‘left behind’ as might occur in a larger group setting.

11. What is 11+ and 13+?

The 11 Plus (+) are tests that you take to gain entrance to grammar schools in some educational boroughs. Also, many independent schools have an entrance examination that must be taken prior to a child being granted a place at that school. Many parents decide that this type of education, which provides some of the best educational facilities and pursues excellence through scholarships and such like, is what they would like for their child. Often places at these selective schools are coveted and can be difficult to attain without prior tuition.
