2014/15 11+ COURSE (APRIL 2014)

THE PROVISION

1. Sir Tailor Master Tutor Ltd will provide tuition and the use of resources in preparation for 11+ tests in verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning and non-verbal reasoning. 35 sessions are planned. Note that creative writing is not part of the course but will be provided separately, at additional cost, to those who want it.

2. We take pride in helping your child to learn and in guiding you in how to support this. This is most effective when our pupils and staff are allowed to work in a pleasant, calm and collaborative atmosphere, so please respect the right of staff and pupils to work free from any sort of disruptive, disrespectful, intimidating, abusive or aggressive behaviour. In order to protect the well-being of others, such behaviour by parent or pupil may result in the removal of the child from the course. Your support is appreciated.

3. We are earnest in what we do and have faith in the effectiveness of our work. We back this up with a money-back guarantee for those who fulfil their part.
