Year 4 Tuition Course
The foundation year. All-round 90-minute lessons taught by a qualified teacher and planned in detail by our expert team. Lessons cover Maths, English and Verbal Reasoning. Other areas of focus include spelling, vocabulary building and arithmetic. In a group environment of no more than 12, children progress individually and as a team as they build confidence in these core subjects.
Reading skills, presentation of work and behaviour for learning are attentively fostered while termly assessments are used to assess progress and provide the children a gentle introduction to timed exams.
During a typical lesson, the previous week’s homework is reviewed and explained, then new work is taught. Lessons are tailor-made to cover all the necessary topics used in a range of 11+ examinations. Class participation is positively encouraged and each child’s input is equally valued. Our teachers love to have the children from Year 4 as they can see the advantage it gives students as they move up to our Year 5 classes.
In the case of absence, the work that has been covered during the lesson will be made available for parents so that children do not fall behind in their programme of work.
Why Hatch End Tuition?
Verbal Reasoning (VR) is the ability to comprehend language and words. Skills include recognising relationships between words, identifying letter patterns and working out codes. VR assessments reward pupils who have a high reading ability, a confident range of vocabulary and those who are quick and accurate in spotting patterns with letters. Despite the name, Verbal Reasoning can also test the ability to recognise number patterns and relationships too.
As the language of numbers, Maths at Key Stage 2 level explores arithmetic ability, understanding shape and space, data and probability, and problem-solving using units of measure, money and time. At Hatch End Tuition, we believe maths ability at this age is best developed through teaching of techniques, practice, then the application of these skills in worded problems.
English lies at the heart of children’s development at primary age. A child’s ability to read, understand text and express thoughts through writing has an impact on all areas of learning. Our lessons aim to motivate and inspire in this area as well as develop technical English skills through techniques and personal feedback.

My daughter applied for both South West Herts Consortium and Buckinghamshire 11+ for 2020 entry. As I am a teacher myself, I tutored her through the process but wanted her to have the experience of a proper exam situation and booster courses to support her preparation. I found Hatch End Tuition were not just able to provide an excellent mock process with comprehensive feedback, but also offered additional courses during the holidays in both English and Maths which helped my daughter immensely with understanding some of the more complex areas of these subjects that are tested during 11+. I would highly recommend them to anyone embarking upon 11+ preparation, both for state grammar schools and Independent exams.
