Private school entrance exams
An entrance exam is nothing like a school test. Time is short, the questions come in a different format, and thousands of children are after the same places. It can be prepared for.
$40 an hour. Free 30-minute assessment to place your child.
The two subjects assessed in most entrance exams.
Multiple choice, limited time, trick questions: all of it can be learned.
The exams take place in the autumn. The preceding spring is the right time.
A child under pressure performs worse. The tutor takes that into account.
Why good students fail entrance exams.
At school you write out answers. In an entrance exam you tick quickly and eliminate. A child discovering that format on the day loses marks needlessly.
The marking rewards speed as much as accuracy. Practising against the clock changes the result considerably.
Some questions cover material barely seen in class. It has to be worked on beforehand.
- We prepare students for these exams, we do not administer them and we have no connection with the schools
- We guarantee no admission, and nobody should
- Each school has its own exam: tell us which ones you are aiming for
Four steps, over several months.
The free session measures the gap between their current level and what the exam expects.
French and mathematics, targeting what actually comes up rather than the whole syllabus.
Multiple choice, elimination, quick reading of instructions. That is often where the marks are won.
So the time pressure is no surprise, and to establish a working rhythm.
$40 an hour, like the rest of our tutoring.
No special admissions package, no surcharge.
What parents ask.
When should we start?
Entrance exams generally take place in the autumn. Starting the previous spring, or as soon as the school year begins, leaves time to fill the gaps and work on the format without rushing.
Do you guarantee admission?
No, and be wary of anyone who promises it. Places are limited and the decision belongs to the school. What we do guarantee is that your child will not be discovering the format on exam day.
Do you prepare for a specific school?
Each school has its own exam. Tell us which ones you are aiming for in the form: the tutor adapts the work to that format.
How many hours are needed?
It depends on the gap to close and the time available. The 15-hour block is the most common for a full preparation. The free assessment session allows an honest estimate.
My child is already very stressed.
That is common, and family pressure often contributes more than the exam itself. The tutor works on format and method, which reduces the unknown, and avoids dramatising the stakes.
Do you have any connection with private schools?
None. We are affiliated with no school, we have access to no real exam papers and we have no influence whatsoever on admission decisions.
