Give your child the confidence, skills and head start they deserve for 11+/Year 6 SATS success.
Welcome to Brain-Boost
At Brain-Boost, we specialise in helping children excel in their 11+ entrance exams
and KS2 SATs
through expertly delivered small-group tutoring. Our mission is to build confident, capable learners who
feel ready to take on every academic challenge.
Both members of our team are fully qualified teachers with over twenty years of
classroom
experience, bringing deep subject knowledge and proven strategies in English, maths, verbal reasoning,
and non-verbal reasoning. Our small-group model creates the perfect balance: personalised attention,
peer motivation, and a supportive learning environment where every child can thrive.
We nurture each child's unique strengths while giving them the tools to succeed — not
just in exams, but
throughout their learning journey. With structured guidance, targeted teaching, and an encouraging
approach, we help children unlock their potential and achieve outstanding results.
Year 6 SATs Preparation
Whether your child is feeling overwhelmed, keeping pace, or aiming for greater
challenge, our SATs preparation programme gives them the knowledge, support and encouragement they need to
succeed.
We begin with a SATs assessment to pinpoint exactly where your child is working. Each
session is taught by two very experienced KS2 teachers, using adaptive teaching to personalise support and
give feedback for every child — whether they're working towards age-related expectations or already
mastering higher level content. Learning together in a collaborative environment helps children strengthen
their reasoning and problem solving skills, ensuring they are capable and ready for SATs success.
With expert guidance, structured practice and ongoing feedback, your child gains the skills, accuracy
and resilience needed to walk into their SATs feeling prepared and confident.
11+ Exam Preparation
At Brain Boost, we deliver a premium, results‐focused programme designed to give your
child a decisive
advantage in the 11+ exams. Our approach builds self-belief, mastery and exam technique, ensuring
students feel prepared, capable and calm on test day.
Created exclusively for Year 4 and Year 5 students preparing for grammar school entry in Kent or
Bexley, this
programme provides the structured, personalised support that high‐stakes exams demand. Whether your
child is just beginning their 11+ journey or needs targeted help in specific areas, we tailor every step
to
their individual needs.
Preparing for the Kent Test or Bexley Selection Test can feel like a big leap for
families. These exams
assess skills that go beyond the National Curriculum, and competition for grammar school places is
intense. Our Year 5 programme gives students the focused preparation, expert guidance and strategic
practice they need to approach the exams with a strong competitive edge.

Helping Children Grow in Confidence, Enjoy Learning & Achieve Their Potential
With 25 years’ experience as a primary school teacher, I bring a wealth of knowledge, enthusiasm and passion to every tutoring session. I absolutely love teaching and, most importantly, I love seeing the moment when a child suddenly gets it and their confidence begins to grow.
I have extensive experience across the primary curriculum, including SATs and 11+ preparation, and understand that every child learns differently. I tailor my teaching to suit your child’s individual needs, identifying gaps in knowledge and building strong foundations so they can make accelerated progress.
My lessons are fun, engaging and inspiring, because children learn best when they are enjoying themselves. I use a warm, encouraging approach that challenges children while making sure they feel supported and successful.
Whether your child needs to catch up, stretch and challenge themselves, prepare for SATs or the 11+, or simply develop greater confidence, I can provide the targeted support they need.
My goal is simple: to help your child become a confident, enthusiastic learner who believes in what they can achieve.
