The Good Schools Guide review of Capital Tuition Group

Founded in September 2015 by Matthew Curnier BSc MSc PGCE (King’s College, London), a science teacher who taught for five years in the state sector and who has tutored (and still does) for 12 years. Later joined by Rachael Hayden BSc PGCE (Roehampton), a former modern foreign languages teacher and who has tutored for nine years. Matthew does the bulk of tutor and client liaison work; Rachael runs the admin side of things. But both know enough to take over from the other when needed.

The Good Schools Guide Education Consultants offer assessments in English, maths and in reasoning. Most schools assess these subjects when considering a child for a place. This is especially important for children coming from different countries with different educational systems. But there can be many reasons for checking a child's progress in these basic skills.

Secondary school: Understanding the 11+

The 11+ is the entrance exam procedure for getting your brightish little button into a fee-paying or state grammar school. Much of the country abolished the 11+ several decades ago for state schools, but a few local authorities, such as Bucks and Kent, retained a large number of grammar schools and run county-wide entrance tests. In some other areas, such as Barnet and Kingston, a few grammar schools exist in tandem with the comprehensive system found in most of the country. These grammar schools set their own entrance exams.
