With the 11+ entrance examinations nearly done, this week, a number of independent schools are starting their interviewing process for 11+ entrance. We would like to wish the best of luck to all candidates who are attending interviews in the upcoming days!
The interview is an exciting opportunity to learn more about the school you are applying for, as well as help the school get to know you – their potential new student!
Stay confident and friendly, and most importantly, enjoy the experience!
All our best wishes,
The Trefoil Team

I think that the feedback we received was brilliant because it gave you an idea of which areas he was struggling with and pointed out specifically what he needed to work on. It helped Kabir and me, because we were working together as a team - the tutor, the parent and the child. I think that is the best bit and they couldn't have done it better.

'With the accelerated group lessons, we move through the topics quicker than we would in school. This also helps a lot when we start the topics in school and I already know how to do it, so I find it easier. Vivek explains everything really well!'

As students have reached the end of their first term in Year 5, 11+ examinations for grammar schools are a little over eight months away. Although this may seem like a long time, these months tend to rush by and we will soon be preparing mock exams and revision sessions.
In order to offer all our support to our Year 5 students as well as their parents, we are hosting a Year 5 Parents' Evening, where our tutors will be sharing their knowledge and experience regarding 11+ preparation.

We’ve had a great experience with Trefoil Tutors for our sons. They’ve built up a good understanding of mathematical concepts and as a result I believe they’ve improved a great deal in school, but most importantly they’ve been happy going to lessons and have comfortably managed school work and assignments set by Trefoil Tutors, so it’s been a win-win for them in every respect.
