KSOL (Key Stages online) Sandwell Tuition Centre
2025-04-09 17:30 - 19:30
Since opening their tuition centre in this popular area, they have helped hundreds of children reach their full potential and achieve their 11+ goals.
The team of talented teachers at the Sandwell tuition centre are dedicated to working with each and every child on an individual basis. Getting to know their strengths and weaknesses allows them to create uniquely tailored daily tests, specific to their needs. This, alongside the 2-hour weekly teaching sessions, provides the perfect launch-pad to go forwards and reach 11+ success.
2 hours of personalised tuition per week
Each child will receive 2 hours of tuition per week at the Sandwell Centre. During the session, tutors will cover weak points highlighted through the online tests and teach a new topic from their 11 plus curriculum.
Daily personalised online tests (Mon-Fri) with TargetTeach® Technology
From Monday – Friday, each child will receive online tests in Maths, English, Verbal and NVR. These tests will be tailored around any weaker areas identified by your child’s allocated 11 plus tutor.
Feedback from your child’s 11 plus tutor
Once a month, your child’s tutor will email a progress report which will include feedback, tips and a visual chart of how your child is progressing. Whenever you need additional help or advice, chat to the tutors at the centre or give them a call during office hours.
A whole team to support you and your child
With KSOL you will have a whole team to support you and your child. Give yourself the peace of mind that there will always be a tutor available to help you through the entire 11 plus process.
