Weekly Small Group Coaching
During our 75-minute tutorials we will consistently build both your child’s English skills and confidence for lasting results. Creative Writing Excellence: From powerful story planning to vivid language, your child will learn how to write with depth and structure. We will cover the full range of creative writing question types (fiction and non-fiction including letter writing). Comprehension Confidence (open-ended questions): Exposure to real 11 Plus texts from your target schools, with high-level question practice and refined written techniques.
Tailored Feedback on Your Child's Work
Half-termly, you are welcome to send me a sample of your child’s work to personally review and provide email feedback. For those who would like even more insight, there is an optional add-on: a private half-term Zoom check-in where we will discuss your child’s progress.
Grow your child’s expressive voice, skills and confidence for success
I understand every child is different so I am happy to offer two different taster options, depending on what feels most helpful for your situation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions you might have around small group 11+ English tuition
How do I book a taster for my child?
To get started please book a call with Clare via the contact form or email clare@creativehare.co.uk
What sets your small group tuition apart?
This is not just another group class. My elite tuition groups are small by design, allowing me to combine the rigour of private school teaching with the benefits of peer collaboration.
I understand that 11 Plus English preparation can be hard, even for academically bright students. The creative writing and reading comprehension classes have been carefully structured into termly blocks to allow for deep mastery. This is to ensure your child will reach the highest of standards with a calm inner confidence.
Each Year 4 and Year 5 group follows a strategically planned, indepth curriculum that encourages mastery of creative writing and reading comprehension for 11 Plus English success.
Which school exams do you prepare children for?
I taught in south-west London for many years so I typically coach children for competitive schools in this area including: St. Paul’s, City of London, King’s College, Wimbleson, Latymer Upper, Dulwich, Alleyn’s, as well as other elite independents and top grammar schools in North London, notably Dame Alice Owen’s School and Latymer (Edmonton).
As an experienced school teacher, I will adapt the content and expectations depending on your desired target schools’ formats and question styles.
When and how are lessons delivered?
Lessons are delivered weekly in term-time, via Zoom. Each session runs for around 75-minutes.
What is your background and experience?
I have taught in top independent London schools for many years, including direct experience preparing students for 11+ success.
I know exactly what competitive schools in London look for and how to help children grow in confidence.
