11 Plus Lessons in the Post
The Lesssons in the Post 11 Plus Programme will give your child the best chance of gaining a place at a selective school anywhere in the country.
| Course 1 | 11 Plus Programme |
|---|---|
| Dates | Start (ideally) 1 year before 11 Plus exam - usually October to October (adjusted to your child's exam dates as required). Late starters accepted - it is possible, with hard work, to complete the full course in as little as 6 months. |
| Time | Half an hour at home with a parent every weekday during term times (or weekends if you prefer). You decide when you do the work, but you will need to find about three hours a week (a bit more towards the end). Late starters would need to work longer to catch up. |
| Price | £30 per weekly lesson. Payable in easy half termly installments. |

Lessons in the Post allows you, the parents, to tutor your child in your home in your time. For each week of the school term we will send you a lesson plan with worksheets to complete with your child by working alongside them for about half an hour a day. This fully supported programme has been running for 7 years with a 70% success rate for Grammar School places. It has been created by Jo Marchant, a teacher for 38 years experience, most of which have been spent preparing Essex children for the 11 Plus exam. The lessons are carefully structured, imaginatively presented and everything, including practice papers at the right time, is provided. We find parents get as much out of the experience as their children! Lots more details on the website.
