My Qualifications
11+ Exam Tutoring
For 11+ tuition, your child will be given an initial assessment to see if they are suitable for this type of tuition. If I feel your child may not be
suitable, then I will be unable to offer any tuition, as it is not fair on the child to go through such intense training unless they have a
reasonable chance of performing at the required level not to mention the associated costs for you as parents. Grammar schools only take
the highest scoring children; no level of tutoring can guarantee your child a place in a Selective school. Your child will need a level of
natural understanding to be successfully tutored.
If I can offer your child tuition for the 11+, they will cover all three topic areas Numeracy, Verbal and Non Verbal reasoning and will also
receive regular homework. Homework will need completing two or three times per week, therefore a full commitment will be needed, not
only from your child but from you as parents also.
Private Tuition for Children Aged 5 - 11 Years in Hockley Heath, Knowle, Dorridge, Dickens Heath, Shirley & Solihull
in tutoring. In 2012 I set up Key Stage Tutor and asked some
very talented people to join me in helping children with their
education. We have helped children with a wide range of
abilities, from those who need help with boosting their
confidence, to those who have special needs or are looking to
pass their 11+ Exams.
For children who may be lacking in confidence, learning needs
to be about guiding them to a positive mindset; creating a "can
do" attitude. We take children who are lacking a positive attitude,
back a few steps in their learning, to build their confidence up,
before we slowly move forward again. Schools tend to teach in a
blinkered way using the latest methods and applying them to all
children, these constantly change and may not always work for
your child; every child is different. We will show your child
different methods to see which one works for them, then show
them how it relates to the current teaching methods for when
they go back to the classroom.
Key Stage 1 is year 1 and 2 at school. Two of the core subjects for
all key stages are Numeracy and English.
It is extremely important that children have a good understanding of
the basics in these subjects to be able to confidently move forward
into Key stage 2. As part of the Tuition we will make sure that your
child understands the basics and will help them move forward with
their understanding.
Key Stage 2 covers years 3 to 6. Many children when moving into
key stage 2 can suddenly lose confidence in their abilities as the
more complex Numeracy and English work begins, this can be quite
daunting and they can begin to struggle. Sometimes we find it is
best to take children back a few steps to improve their confidence
then move them forward. We have found this method very
successful with many children moving up groups within their class
very quickly as their confidence returns.
The 11+ exam is taken by children who wish to go to an independent
or Grammar school. These tests are based on mathematics, verbal
and non-verbal reasoning; the overall result of the 3 tests produces
an individual standardized score and each school has a score that
needs to be achieved to gain entry.
Not only do I tutor for the 11+ but I have had personal experience of
the entry procedures so I can also offer parents advice on these
procedures which can seem quite daunting at times.
Hello I'm Tracie and I have over 15 years experience
How does tutoring work for your child?
Tutoring takes place at my home in Hockley Heath where we
have many resources to help with your child's tuition, our
tutoring is tailored to the individual needs of your child.
When you make an enquiry I will contact you to discuss the
type of tutoring you are looking for and evaluate your child's
needs in order to allocate the tutor that will be most suited to
your child. The 11 plus is tutored by myself.
There are 3 other Tutors working alongside me; Emily who has
a degree in English, a Level 3 Teaching Assistant Qualification
and is currently in her final year to become a qualified
Secondary School Teacher, Sarah who has a level 3 Teaching
Assistant Qualification and is also qualified in SEND and Nova
who also has a degree in English and has studied working with those with dyslexia. These qualifications are correct at time of publishing but
we are constantly improving our knowledge by enrolling in education courses to ensure we are up to date and offering the best tutoring we
can.

Rochelle from Solihull
Thank you all for getting me out of a hole when I needed it most! Your lessons really did make a difference for me and I truly appreciate it!
Mrs C. from Knowle
Thank you so much for all your help we have seen a marked improvement in our daughters maths and her end of term results reflected this.
Mrs V. from Hockley Heath
What lovely tutoring set up you have, every tutor I have met has been so friendly and knowledgeable, the support you have offered outside of lessons has
been superb, I feel like I have also vastly improved my education through this journey!
Mr S from Hockley Heath
Tracie has helped my child move up from the bottom set to the 2nd set at school and she now has so much more confidence in what she can achieve.
Mrs R from Lapworth
Tracie had a really good understanding of who my child was, after just one, 1hour lesson!
Mrs P from Hockley Heath
The work Tracie does with the children is fun, they really enjoy going to her for their tuition.
Mrs A from Moseley
My daughter was suffering from lack of confidence and as such was struggling to access the curriculum. Through Tracie's calm and patient manner and with
her encouragement, she is now enjoying maths and
succeeding, she has now moved up several groups.
Mrs R from Bentley Heath
Tracie has a great way with children and was really able to understand my son’s individual needs. I would highly recommend Tracie for individual tuition.
Mrs K from Lapworth
We wanted to give our son a head start when he went to school, as he did not know his Alphabet or sounds, Tracie taught him in a fun way and when he
started he knew all his sounds and letters and now enjoys reading to us at home.
Mrs W from Dorridge
In year two my daughter was falling behind in both Maths and English which was affecting her confidence and willingness to even try. Tracie identified
straight away that the basics weren't in place, her teachers were trying to build on very rocky foundations. Tracie patiently ! ;) worked with my daughter to put
these in place, supporting and positively reinforcing her every week. Would highly recommend her.
Ms G from Dickens Heath
Thank you for your support Tracie and being a fantastic tutor- the progress my daughter has made is brilliant and I would definitely highly recommend you to
others thinking of getting a tutor for their children! Lovely lady too! X
Mrs S. from Cheswick Green
Just like to say a very BIG THANK YOU , My daughter came home from her new school the other day and said "mom you'd be surprised at how many kids
don't know their tables" Tracie you've given my daughter such good training over the past few years and now given her the confidence to carry on with her
maths. I must admit when I first asked you to teach her I wanted someone who would keep her attention and make learning fun, you've certainly done that
and if I can recommend you to anyone new I will. Thanks again lovely lady x
Mrs FW from Dickens Heath
My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed coming to see you every Wednesday, for all your chats & also cuddles with Cookie & Crumble but more importantly she
has learned lots too. You took your time to teach her in ways that she could learn, whether it was the conventional way or not. She is a rather shy girl &
you've helped tremendously with her confidence. Thank you for all your help, we will both miss you very much xxx
Mrs J from Solihull
Just wanted to say thanks for all your support over the last couple of years. My son has really enjoyed his time with you and we can see a real change in his
confidence. Thank you for your patience too!
Look forward to seeing you in September, when you start tutoring our daughter.
Mrs W from Monkspath
My daughter has been tutored by Tracie for three years an in this time I have seen her confidence grow in all aspects of her work. She was struggling with
maths when she first started her sessions but with the support of Tracie, I began to notice her confidence grow and her results at school significantly
improving. I am very grateful to Tracie for all the hard work and effort she has put into my daughters development it has really made such a huge difference. I
feel that my daughter is now ready to start senior school and has all the skills she needs to start this new chapter.
Mrs B from Solihull
My daughter Lily-Mae started her Maths tuition with Emily during Key Stage 1 for some extra support.... 2 and a half years on we are now Key Stage 2 and
still being tutored by the wonderful Emily! Tracie has offered so much support to us also with tutoring and Maths workshop days. (I myself am studying for a
Maths GCSE equivalent qualification and Tracie gives extra support there also.) We cannot recommend Key Stage Tutor highly enough! Lily-Mae’s
confidence with Maths has grown so much, Emily is such a patient tutor. Wonderful service! Thank you so much!
