Welcome to A Star Tuition in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
After many years of producing outstanding 11 Plus results across the West Midlands, we are pleased to have finally brought the A Star Tuition brand to our new home in Prestbury, Cheltenham. Students from Cheltenham and across Gloucestershire are now able to benefit from our bespoke 11 Plus tuition and SATs tuition courses held at Prestbuy WI Hall, Cheltenham, initally on Monday evenings from 4.15pm.
Nurturing young minds into becoming critical thinkers and develop the skills needed to be successful in the Gloucestershire GL 11 Plus Exam. Our small group tutoring sessions are all conducted using traditional pencil and paper, using originally created resources to enhance learning. As we only see students for a limited time, we offer weekly homework packages to solidify classroom learning and encourage a little and often approach to work outside of lessons. Lessons are fast paced but fun and because we keep our group sizes small, we remain agile to students needs and can differentiate work within a group setting, whilst also allowing students to build competitive friendships.
The foundation course (year 3) is our newly established programme for 7-8 year olds. The course is accessible to all children, not just children hoping to sit the 11 plus exam. The course places an emphasis on securing core National Curriculum Maths, reading and comprehension skills. For those students who may be thinking of enrolling for the Gloucestershire 11 plus exam in the future will be given an early introduction to some Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning tasks, making it a brilliant way to prepare your child for the 11+ Jr and Year 5 11+ courses, becoming familiar with the way our sessions work.
The Cheltenham and Gloucestershire 11+ Jr Tuition Course is designed to build solid foundations within core 11 Plus maths topics, comprehension skills and exposing students to the many varieties of Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning and Spatial Reasoning questions (including brand new question types before you wil find he elsewhere) as part of the Gloucestershire GL 11+ exam board. This course will sharpen student’s skills ingrained from ‘The Foundation Course’ and navigate a path for students to seamlessly progress into our year 5 11 Plus tuition course. Weekly homework material and half termly progress papers are available to consolidate lesson material.
The Year 5 11 Plus Tuition Course covers higher level maths topics that form the year 6 maths curriculum, English comprehension skills, spelling and punctuation, Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, Spatial Reasoning and crucially, diving deeper into 11 plus exam technique specific to the format of the exam in our county. Students will regularly complete tasks under timed conditions, allowing them to become adept at working under pressure and being able maximise their scores under the Gloucestershire 11 Plus exam format. Students also have the opportunity to take part in our 11+ summer intensive course, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning masterclasses and 11 Plus Mock Exams which run in the lead up to September.
Our recommended gold package includes weekly homework material as part of all our 11 plus and SATs tutoring courses to help students consolidate their classroom learning with us. Also included in this package are regular (half termly) progress test papers for students to practise the material taught each half term, to the 11 plus or SATs format. Allowing us to share progress and areas of strength and weakness with parents.
Through our sister company – The 11+ Mock Exam Company we run regular 11+ Mock tests for the Gloucestershire 11 Plus Consortium. Our Gloucestershire 11 Plus Mock Exam papers have been expertly designed to accurately replicate the most up to date question styles, format, and timings of the actual 11 plus exam.
Understanding the exam process and required exam technique under the strict test conditions is as important as learning the course material itself. Routinely, students need regular practise to familiarise themselves with the format and perform at their best. The optimum number of our Gloucestershire 11+ Mock Exams to sit is recommended as four. This allows students to be tested on every variety of Vebal and Non-Verbal reasoning style question and identify gaps in knowledge or weaker areas, polish their exam technique and gain confidence in tackling the unique exam format.
