Interview Preparation and 11+ Mock Exams
Preparing for the Interview Stage
For many leading independent schools, the interview is just as important as the written exams. Schools want to see how children think, communicate and present themselves.
Our 11+ interview preparation sessions help children feel confident and ready. Through one-to-one coaching and group practice, we teach them how to answer questions thoughtfully, share their interests and show their individuality.
Children learn to:
- Talk confidently about themselves, their hobbies and experiences
- Engage in thoughtful conversation with adults
- Use positive body language and eye contact
- Practise calm, clear responses under light pressure
We offer interview coaching year-round, even for children who aren’t currently receiving tutoring with us.
The Importance of 11+ Mock Exams
The 11+ is often a child’s first experience of a formal exam. To reduce nerves and build stamina, we run realistic 11+ mock exams that replicate the real thing.
Each child receives:
- Exam papers matched to GL, CEM or school-specific formats
- A fully timed and authentic exam environment
- Detailed performance feedback with clear next steps
- Targeted support to address any gaps in knowledge or technique
Mock exams are a vital part of final preparation, giving children the best chance of performing at their peak on exam day.
