Lesson Structure
Each class will be led by one of the founders of Bradley Tuition or an experienced qualified teacher. The lessons are 2.5 hours long. In each class, there will be 14 students, one qualified teacher, and two additional support staff. The structure of each lesson is explained below:
Part 1
70-minute Teacher-led Lesson
During the first 70 minutes of the lesson, we review last week’s homework topics. We will recap the techniques and review some of the trickiest questions to ensure everyone has a good understanding.
Part 2
15-minute Active Learning Break
The break in the middle of the two main parts of the lesson will see the children get up and get active by playing games that will include a learning focus.
Part 3
65-minute Teacher-led Lesson
In this part of the lesson, we will teach the children a range of new topics. We will show them the techniques and methods required to master each of these topics and we will work through several example questions together, until each child is confident.
Course Information
Homework
The children’s homework for the week will then be focused on the new topics covered in the final part of the lesson. Children will also have reading, vocabulary, and comprehension homework to complete every week. The homework is expected to take 3-4 hours to complete each week. Parents are required to mark the homework at home each week. We provide the answer sheets.
Support at Home
This is an intensive course, designed to allow children to meet the standard required to pass extremely competitive 11+ exams. We ask that there is a capable adult at home who is available to listen to the child read aloud for 90 minutes each week (3x 30 minute sessions). The adult must also be available to mark the homework each week and must be willing to help with reviewing at least a portion of the homework errors.
Course Fee
The course fee is £2050. A non-refundable deposit of £250 is payable to secure your child’s place on the course. 8 monthly instalments of £225 are then payable on the first of every month from 01/11/25 to 01/06/26.
