The pupils are <\/span><b>11 to 12 years old<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when they take the exam, hence the name.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The purpose of the exam is to identify students who are suited for more <\/span><b>intensive and better-quality education<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The exam consists mostly of multiple-choice questions and is held at the local authority grammar school or a central grammar school every September.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Exam_Format\"><\/span><b>11+ Exam Format<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exam has two papers, and there is a short break between them so that students can freshen up. <\/span><b>Each paper has two parts, and students have 30 minutes to answer each.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Therefore, the exam takes two hours, excluding the break. It is worth mentioning that participating in the 11-plus exam is not necessary, and students can get into state schools just fine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Do_the_11_Exams_Measure\"><\/span><b>What Do the 11+ Exams Measure?\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 11-plus exam covers the following disciplines.

You can do this by asking them some questions, interviewing their parents, and checking their report cards. This gives you an idea of where to start.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have figured out the pupil&#8217;s knowledge level, you should choose <\/span><b>level-appropriate resources<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to fill the gaps in the pupil&#8217;s knowledge. Then, you can go on to <\/span><b>introduce the 11+ test and explain its significance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Awareness of the importance of the selective schools&#8217; entrance exams motivates the students to make more efforts. After that, you should <\/span><b>practise exam techniques<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by covering practice papers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should also teach the students how they should <\/span><b>manage their time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

You can teach at school and tutor at home. As a teacher, you would receive more tutoring offers from parents.

For instance, you might receive job offers from tutoring agencies to work either as a tutor or <\/span><b>educational consultant<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Using Various Resources\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an 11+ tutor, you should have sound and thorough knowledge of exam questions. Using multiple online resources allows you to approach the questions in each subject from different angles. You should have an archive of practice papers and past papers to help pupils familiarise themselves with the exam format. In this link, you can find &#8220;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.twinkl.de\/blog\/top-10-resources-for-11-tutors\"><b>Top 10 Resources for 11+ Tutors.<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Learner-Oriented_Classes\"><\/span><b>2. Learner-Oriented Classes\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a professional tutor, you have the subject expertise to teach the pupils. However, you should do it in the pupil&#8217;s preferred way. In other words, you should adopt a teaching method and use the resources in a way that matches the pupil&#8217;s current state and what they aim to achieve. Children are usually attracted to colourful pictures and animations, so when designing lesson plans for children at 11 plus level, you can<\/span><b> include many visuals<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to make the learning more engaging and productive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Motivating_Students\"><\/span><b>3. Motivating Students\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although there is no limit to a child&#8217;s imagination, they cannot see the whole picture. You should motivate them by clarifying how succeeding in the 11-plus takes them one step closer to realising their dreams (<\/span><b>external motivation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). You can also reward their good performance (<\/span><b>positive reinforcement<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) or remove or reduce homework (<\/span><b>negative reinforcement<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) to motivate them. The recognition and appreciation of the student&#8217;s efforts instil a feeling of self-belief and confidence in them. Of course, sometimes you need to criticise the student for poor performance as long as it is the result of a lack of attention or effort.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Integrate_Technology_Into_Your_Teaching\"><\/span><b>4. Integrate Technology Into Your Teaching\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pen and paper are things of the past. As a modern 11+ tutor, you need to be technologically competent. Using technology and digital tools makes your job far easier than the old way. <\/span><b>Computers allow you to keep track of the pupil&#8217;s progress, share resources, and use virtual labs and virtual models<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, especially for Biology and Chemistry. More importantly, they add variety to your teaching and engage the students in the learning process. The following link lists many valuable tools appropriate for pupils at the 11-plus level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/debell.medium.com\/54-online-teaching-tools-for-educators-b9343a61f153\"><b>54 Online Teaching Tools for Educators<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lessonpal.com\/blog\/post\/11-online-tutoring-tools-to-improve-your-lessons\"><b>11 Online Tutoring Tools to Improve Your Lessons<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Keep_in_Touch_With_Parents\"><\/span><b>5. Keep in Touch With Parents\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an 11+ tutor, you work <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">children <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">their parents, and therefore, you must regularly inform the parents of their children&#8217;s progress and even assign a role for them to take action for their children&#8217;s success. <\/span><b>Giving feedback <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to parents is important for several reasons. First, <\/span><b>it ensures them that you are the caring and supportive tutor<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> they were looking for. Second,<\/span><b> it strengthens the parent-teacher relationship<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, promoting trust and transparency. Third, your <\/span><b>feedback helps parents understand their kids&#8217; strengths and weaknesses<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Lastly, with the feedback you give to parents, they can <\/span><b>moderate their expectations of their children.<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Share_Success_Stories\"><\/span><b>6. Share Success Stories\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>Testimonials <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can serve as a great means of finding new clients and expanding your private tutoring business. You can do this on your social media pages, especially <\/span><b>LinkedIn<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, to make it more professional. The good news is that after a couple of years of professional tutoring, words of your skills as a tutor get around, and clients will find you. After all, actions speak louder than words.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Challenges_Faced_by_11_Tutors\"><\/span><b>Challenges Faced by 11+ Tutors\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Connecting_With_Children\"><\/span><b>1. Connecting With Children\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since you are working with children 10 to 12 years old, you need to <\/span><b>allow your inner child to present itself<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> more tangibly. You have to think and act like them while preserving something to help you keep your grip on the session. In other words, you need to maintain a balance between the seriousness of a teacher and an approachable, friendly person. Reaching this balance is one of the challenges of 11-plus tutors, but as you gain experience, you will do it without planning or thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Difficult_Parents_and_Children\"><\/span><b>2. Difficult Parents and Children\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another challenge is having to deal with difficult parents and children. <\/span><b>Some parents might<\/b> <b>have unrealistic or high demands from you<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which cannot be achieved in a short period before the exam. Sometimes, the chemistry is not right, and you do not get the satisfaction you normally get from your job when working with certain parents and children who are stubborn in some way or do not cooperate with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Adaptability\"><\/span><b>3. Adaptability<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In private tutoring, you need to run the sessions in such a way that matches the <\/span><b>client&#8217;s preferences<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. By preferences, I mean the time and place of sessions, the resources, the teaching method, the duration of the sessions, etc. Basically, you should be ready to devise new lesson plans and adjust your schedule based on your client&#8217;s preferences.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Time_Limits\"><\/span><b>4. Time Limits<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, there is not enough time to work on enough exam materials to prepare the pupil for the grammar school entrance exam. <\/span><b>The shortage of time means you have to focus on the subjects with which the pupils struggle the most<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Time_Consumption\"><\/span><b>5. Time Consumption<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last thing I mention here is the time you need to spend to <\/span><b>prepare the resources<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and lesson plans. I say this from personal experience. In the first year of my teaching experience, I spent the same amount of time as the duration of the session, preparing the materials and supplementing them with appropriate Audio Visual Aids (<\/span><b>AVAs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) and <\/span><b>worksheets <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to make my classes more productive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, as you collect these resources and gain more experience, the preparation time decreases, and you will have more time to yourself to do as you please.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Takeaways_of_How_To_Become_an_11_Tutor\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key Takeaways of How To Become an 11+ Tutor<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Familiarise yourself with the 11+ entrance exam.<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Gather useful resources and materials (practice papers).<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Plan your tutoring schedule.<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Prepare personalised lesson plans.<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Find potential clients.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><section id='' class='helpie-faq accordions faq-toggle open-first groupSettings-167__enabled ' data-collection='' data-pagination='0' data-search='0' data-pagination-enabled='0'><h3 class=\"collection-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_-_How_to_become_a_tutor_for_11\"><\/span>FAQs - How to become a tutor for 11+<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><article class=\"accordion \"><div class='helpie-faq-row'><div class='helpie-faq-col helpie-faq-col-12' ><ul><li class=\"accordion__item \"><div class=\"accordion__header \" data-id=\"post-7818\" data-item=\"hfaq-post-7818\" style=\"background:transparent;\" data-tags=\"\"><div class=\"accordion__title\">What are the requirements to be an 11+ tutor?<\/div><\/div><div class=\"accordion__body\" style=\"background:transparent;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The most important requirement is having enough knowledge of the 11+ entrance exam components.

I studied English Language and Literature for my BA, and my interest in the subject increased even further. After graduating with a BA degree from the University of Isfahan, I continued my education in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). I received my MA degree in TEFL from the Isfahan University of Technology.

My parents, concerned about my educational prospects, enrolled me in an English course, and thanks to motivating teachers, the fun learning environment, and, of course, my own efforts, I grew fond of English as the subject to pursue in university. I studied English Language and Literature for my BA, and my interest in the subject increased even further. After graduating with a BA degree from the University of Isfahan, I continued my education in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). I received my MA degree in TEFL from the Isfahan University of Technology. All the while, I was engaged in expanding my knowledge of the culture of native English speakers by reading novels, listening to English podcasts, and watching English movies. Consequently, my efforts brought me to where I am now: a skilled English content producer. I hope my content helps you make better decisions.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/majid-zare-dastgerdi-79267b89?lipi=urnlipaged_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_detailsfINxBmOjR5yAcl2jZ21q6g"],"birthDate":"1994-09-25","gender":"male","knowsAbout":["English Language Writing"],"knowsLanguage":["English","German","Persian"],"jobTitle":"English Content Writer","worksFor":"Ostado","url":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/author\/majidzare\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7814"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7814"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7814\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8874,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7814\/revisions\/8874"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostado.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
