11+ Tuition Birmingham
11 Plus Verbal Reasoning
Verbal reasoning tests a child’s ability to manipulate words, find hidden words or create new ones. Our 11+ tuition helps prepare your child for this core element of the 11+ exam.
GL Verbal Reasoning
The GL Verbal Reasoning paper assesses a child’s ability to manipulate, connect, and spot patterns with verbal information.
Questions often involve the manipulation of letters and numbers to create codes and patterns. It consists of twenty-one (plus variants) question types.
Practise of these question types, and learning techniques to answer the questions, will see your child progress.
However, this progress will be limited if a child doesn’t have a significant breadth of vocabulary as they will be tested on their understanding of word meanings both in and out of context and a strong vocabulary is essential.
Children are required to have a very wide vocabulary to do well in this section.
Reading a variety of literature, completing short comprehensions and similar practice exercises will help to strengthen vocabulary and improve understanding of the meaning of words in context.

I am a dedicated professional. My goal is the same as yours and, in order to achieve that goal, I am prepared to go that extra mile.
Parents can and do contact me about their worries and difficulties or for general advice at all times, and I try to accommodate them.
I am not a 9-5 tutor, nor do I just work during the teaching sessions. Each year I try to improve my services and to build on my ongoing experiences.
I keep records and notes so that I have a comprehensive understanding of each child. Above all, I try to make learning fun and to encourage a thirst for knowledge that will stand them in good stead, not just for the 11+, but for the future.
