11+ Pre-testsA personalised approach to learning as your child prepares for the next step in their education.
The 11+ Pre-Tests, commonly known as Common Pre-Tests, are taken when a child is in Year 6 or 7. Unlike the 13+ exams, the Pre-Test is an online, adaptive test. At Aster Tuition we can help to support your child with the Verbal Reasoning and English components of the exam.
Many Senior Schools in the UK use 11+ Pre-Tests as part of their initial selection process. Our 11+ Pre-Test lessons focus on the key areas needed for the English component of the exam and will cover the various elements of Verbal Reasoning needed (identifying synonyms and antonyms, letter patterns etc) through a variety of methods. Carefully chosen practice sheets will be given for homework so that children can work through examples in their own time. Time will also be spent on reading comprehension skills alongside sentence completion and spellings. Higher level vocabulary will be taught to enrich children’s reading and writing.
With written feedback after every lesson, monthly reports and regular communication with your child’s tutor, we aim to support your child every step of the way.
An initial assessment which comes with a detailed report of identified strengths and areas of development
A written report after every lesson targeting areas for development. Monthly student reviews to measure progress against curriculum expectations and to allow parents to track their child’s progress
Bespoke, tailored lessons created around the needs of your child as identified by the initial assessment and ongoing tutor assessment. Engaging, interesting content designed to inspire and spark interest not to bore.
The Aster Tuition ethos encourages students to pursue their interests and discover their talents. To that end, we base all our learning on our 6 sided steps to success. These steps encourage learning in all aspects of the subject so as to uncover their true genius. Find out more

COURSESWorkshops
After each workshop, children will be given homework to complete at home. This will then be marked by the teacher and feedback will be shared so children understand next steps. At the end of each four week block of learning, parents will receive detailed written feedback on their child’s progress. This is one of the cornerstones of Aster Tuition’s methodology so that parents are included in their child’s learning and every element of our teaching process is transparent.
Children will also take home a pack of resources to continue practising key skills once the workshops have finished.
