4+ Exam Excellence: Personalised Preparation for Independent School Entry


The Key to a Confident & Prepared 4+ Assessment Experience
Starting school is a huge milestone! Imagine your child walking into their 4+ assessment feeling confident, engaged, and ready to showcase their skills. Our 4+ Exam Excellence programme ensures your child develops the reasoning, literacy, numeracy, and social skills needed to succeed in independent school entry assessments.
Designed for children aged 3-4 years who are preparing for the 4+ exam, these personalised sessions provide a fun, hands-on approach to learning—all in the comfort of your home.
Why 4+ Exam Excellence Stands Out from Other Preparations
Unlike group tuition where children may feel overwhelmed, our one-on-one sessions allow your child to build confidence at their own pace. This is a completely individualised programme—just your child and me, with no classroom setting or group work. Each session is designed to be fully tailored to their unique needs, ensuring focused and personalised learning.
What Your Child Will Master Before Their 4+ Exam
✅ Early literacy & phonics – Developing letter recognition, sounds, and blending skills.
✅ Early numeracy – Counting, number sense, and basic problem-solving.
✅ Reasoning & problem-solving – Pattern recognition, sequencing, and logical thinking.
✅ Fine motor skills – Strengthening pencil grip, scissor use, and hand-eye coordination.
✅ Interview & social confidence – Turn-taking, structured conversations, and confident communication.
Taster Session Available
We understand that every child is unique, and it is important to find the right fit. That is why we offer a one-off taster session before committing to a package. This allows your child to experience the programme and ensures it aligns with your expectations before investing in ongoing sessions.

Building Social Confidence & Interview Skills Before the 4+ Exam
One of the biggest challenges for children in 4+ assessments is demonstrating social confidence—following instructions, engaging in conversations, and responding to structured questions. That’s why our 4+ Exam Excellence programme integrates:
✅ Turn-Taking & Sharing Activities – Teaching children patience and cooperation.
✅ Interview Practice & Structured Conversations – Helping children feel confident speaking with adults.
✅ Emotional Expression & Self-Regulation – Preparing children to navigate new learning environments with ease.
By the time your child takes their 4+ exam, they will be familiar with assessment expectations, confidently engaging in conversations, and demonstrating the reasoning and problem-solving skills schools look for.
