Girls Grammar School Tutor
Posted: Thu Jul 09, 2009 1:03 pm
Hi there after some time viewing posts I have bitten the bullet and registered (don't know what I was scared of!) 
Anyway, my year 5 DD who is considered to be relatively bright at her current Junior school has visited Non-such and Tiffins and would like to give the exams ago. She has had some tutoring from a non-grammar specific tutor for the past 18 months and now she (with us of course!) has made her decision to give it a go has spent some time on mostly Bond papers. I see from Patricias post we probably need to cover a wider variety of papers but can someone advise whether we should attempt to find a Grammar specifc tutor at this stage and if so where?! Is it possible with only a couple of months to go and is it worth it? She is up to 11-12+ on verbal and nonverbal (lower for maths) in the Bond papers so could we just move her on to another type (perhaps Bright Sparks?). Any specific advice would be gratefully received. Many thanks
