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 a maximum of 14 students, 1 qualified teacher and 2 support staff. The lesson is broken into three parts and is explained below.
Part 1 (65 minute teacher-led lesson) – During the first 65 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.
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.
All teaching resources have been carefully selected and are of the highest quality. The children have access to specifically designed 11+ material that is not yet available for purchase elsewhere. We also source and provide our students with the best quality books and materials available on the market.
Free 11+ Assessment
We recommend that all children take a free assessment test prior to enrolment. This is so we can accurately assess their strengths, weaknesses and suitability for the course. You can find out about our free assessment and book a slot online here.
