Dear All I am new in this group.
My son came into this country March 2016 from non-speaking English country, even he never used English before. Since then I have been trying to improve his English by different ways. Now he is really struggling to define the words similarity.
This September 2018 he is trying for Ilford grammar school.
I tried to put him to private Tuition centre but he can't grasp with other people and since than I have been trying myself at home as I understand his strength and weakness.
We tried few Mock exams he is getting 70-75% overall score. Would it be enough to get the place in Ilford grammar school?
Please advise me.
Thank you
Rabindra

Are you sure this is the right route for your DS?
I have years of experience teaching English to non native and even native speakers of English. The 11+ has specific English needs that require a knowledge beyond someone just starting out, even if he's been here for 2 years.
An 11+ tutor will be engaged in preparing for the exam and what your DS needs is an experienced ESOL teacher to bring him up to speed with the KS2 curriculum.
I know Ilford Boys well and it's competitive enough to get in there;many able pupils 'fail' but are very able pupils.
