COMMON ENTRANCE PREPARATION
Expert Common Entrance Tutoring
in Hong Kong
Boarding schools in the UK have become increasingly attractive for parents who want to ensure a bright future for their children. The Common Entrance exam is the first and last hurdle for most aspiring boarders, but finding an expert common entrance tutor who can coach to success in this unusual exam can be quite a challenge.
Tutoring for the common entrance exam is vital for top marks, whether in the 9+, 10+, 11+, or 13+ exams. In fact, if you sit adults down to take a 13+ common entrance exam, there is a good chance they will perform poorly due to a lack of awareness of the substance of an appropriate response.
Common challenges
| The challenge | How BartyED helps |
|---|---|
|
How do I know where to begin? |
Common entrance examinations can be daunting, especially when a student has never sat tests like them before. At BartyED, we demystify the process and guide our students each step of the way to ensure that they enter the exam hall with confidence. |
|
How do I know if your programme fits my child’s needs? |
Our common entrance tutoring programmes are versatile and customised for every student. The tutor assigns homework between lessons, and progress is made until confidence and mastery are achieved. |
|
Lack of exam technique |
BartyED common entrance tutors help candidates to raise their scores through using structured skill-building programmes in Maths (including non-verbal reasoning), and English (including verbal reasoning). For example, our tutors understand how an English analytical response should be structured in order to gain full marks. We also coach exam strategies to maximise success in the reasoning portions of the test, regardless of exam board. |

The BartyED difference
Customised and comprehensive assessment to determine key strengths and weaknesses
Our common entrance tutoring begins with an overview of strengths and weaknesses which are typed up in a report for parents’ reference. This helps the tutor recognise the mistakes made and sort them by the time needed to consolidate the skill and the impact of learning that skill on the final score. The tutor then narrows down key skills and relentlessly drills the skills for success. This may include recognising that sentences correspond to points in an analytical response structure. Often, children are not aware of what a decent analytical point sounds like.
Building confidence as well as knowledge and skills
Our students sometimes get in touch for online common entrance tutoring while at school, or for an intensive tutoring programme with us over a school holiday. Importantly, they attribute their confidence at school to our unparalleled common entrance tutoring programmes.
