At The Study Space, we have a great deal of experience at preparing pupils for Trafford & Manchester Grammar School Entrance Exams and Independent Schools.
We offer tuition in maths (including numerical reasoning), English (including comprehension and vocabulary skills that are so important in the GL & CEM tests) Non-Verbal Reasoning, Verbal reasoning and creative writing. All our 11+ pupils get free access to online testing materials. All materials required for homework and in tuition sessions are included in the price of tuition, making our Entrance Exam tuition package excellent value.
We offer structured and comprehensive sessions allowing for plenty of one to one support. All of our Entrance Exam tuition is carried out by experienced, fully qualified teachers.
Pupil well-being and confidence is important.
We aim to build confidence and minimise stress and anxiety with our tutoring. We know that sometimes even extremely knowledgeable children have a bad day and do not pass the exams. We put the emphasis on studying to prepare for the next stage of their education (Year 6 SATs and secondary school) so that each child has a sense of achievement and purpose.
We have found that strong Entrance Exam candidates share the following characteristics:
At The Study Space we are parents as well as teachers and will give you honest feedback on your child’s suitability following an assessment and throughout their time with us, should you choose to go ahead with tuition.
Our free assessment / free taster session lasts approximately 40 to 80 minutes depending on age which allows us to identify areas for concern and to work on an individual programme tailored to your child. From Reception to Year 7 the activities are split up into 6 areas. This might for example be 4 Maths areas and 2 English or split evenly depending on the assessment. Once a student reaches Year 8 they are ready to start working towards their GCSE and so students usually pick a subject they need to work on such as a Pure Mathematics Programme Only, English Language or Literature, Science, History or Geography.
Since joining Study Space Tuition, my 12-year-old daughter, who is currently in Year 7, has made incredible progress in maths. She used to struggle with confidence and often felt overwhelmed, but now she approaches problems with enthusiasm and determination. The supportive environment and expert teaching have made a huge difference — not only has her understanding improved massively, but she’s also become so much more confident in her abilities. I’m truly grateful for the positive impact Study Space has had on her learning journey.
My son has only been attending Study Space Tuition since September, but the transformation has been amazing. In just a few months, his confidence has grown so much — he now feels ready to take on his SATs in May and is much more comfortable speaking up in class. The tailored support and encouragement he’s received have made all the difference. We’re so pleased with his progress!
My son has been attending Study Space Tuition for 14 months, and the progress he’s made is truly incredible. He’s gone from a Level 1 in English to scoring a 4 in his recent mock exams — a result we once thought was out of reach. More importantly, he now believes in himself and has the confidence to aim high in his GCSEs this year. The support and dedication from the team at Study Space have been invaluable.
We are so grateful to the team at the Study Space! Over the past few weeks, my daughter has been attending maths tuition, and the transformation has been incredible. She has gone from feeling unsure to genuinely enjoying the subject. Her confidence has grown immensely, and she now looks forward to every class. The friendly, supportive, and attentive teachers have made all the difference. Thank you for creating such a positive and encouraging learning environment!
