Essay Writing

This course sets students up for success by providing clear, memorable guidance to follow when tackling a range of formal and creative essay types. Although Essay Writing is a key element of 11+ examinations, it is not a skill taught extensively at primary school. This course provides students with invaluable insight into the requirements and characteristics of a wide variety of writing styles, giving them the confidence they need to succeed. Students will analyse how writers employ different techniques and styles, and will be encouraged to apply this knowledge to their own writing.

Students will develop their ability to:

Respond to a range of writing prompts effectively and understand the requirements of different essay types
Understand and interpret the creative choices writers make through text analysis
Improve the quality of their writing through improved sentence structure, figurative language skills and wider vocabulary use

Maths

This course provides students with the foundational knowledge they need to confidently begin their 11+ preparations. Each day, guided by our expert tutors, students will focus on a different key topic in depth, exploring in detail any concepts which are particularly challenging. They will be encouraged to put their understanding into practice through increasingly complex problem solving questions.

Students will develop their ability to:

Answer questions on a wide range of key topics confidently
Tackle complex arithmetic problems with speed and accuracy
Apply their mathematical knowledge to challenging problem solving questions
Explain their thinking and write their workings out clearly and concisely

English Literature

English Literature is aimed at fostering a love for reading, opening up Year 4 students' minds to the wonder and joy that books can bring. Being an avid reader has consistently proven to be an important success factor for students taking the 11+. We provide a challenging novel for all students to keep, at no extra cost, so that we can use it as an entry point for these open-ended lessons, to support the development of higher-order thinking, research, and creative skills.

Through this course, we seek to go beyond the basics of reading, by encouraging students to think deeply and to analyse creatively. Each session provides a time to think deeply about the concepts underlying the text and allows students to articulate opinions through guided debates.

By the end of the course, we expect that students will:

Have re-discovered a passion for reading
Have developed an inquisitive and analytical approach to reading
Be able to articulate and evidence their interpretation of the text and the creative writing techniques within the text
Enjoy the challenge and pace of the reading required for students taking the 11+

Testimonials

The summer intensive course was absolutely fantastic. It was exceptionally well-organised, with regular performance updates and graded assignments accompanied by teacher comments. My daughter was fully engaged, learned a lot, was excited to complete all homework, earn reward stickers and prizes, and she had the opportunity to meet incredible teachers and make new friends. On the last day, she was in tears because she didn’t want it to end! Thank you to the entire team for the outstanding work you do!

Julia Sychevskaya

We did the 3 week summer course at OxBridge. This was an excellent preparation for not just the Grammar schools but also for the ISEB PRE- test and the second stages at all the private school. The preparation for Verbal reasoning and creative writing went a great way to help my son with the preparation. Excellent teaching and very apt feedback - it give the extra push needed in our preparations. Besides of course the familiarity with Kings school making it easier to make them feel at home in the KCS test. Thank you OxBridge.

Parent(s) of Jijjith

My soon Year 5 girl has recently had the opportunity to attend the summer intensive course at Oxbridge Tutoring Center.

I highly recommend Oxbridge Tutoring Center to anyone looking for a personalised and effective learning experience. The small class sizes, dedicated instructors, and supportive environment make it an ideal place to excel academically.

Polly Lau

I was very impressed with how well organised this course is, how engaging the teachers are, and how much detailed feedback the children were given guiding them in the right direction to improve in their weaker areas. Will definitely recommend.

FAQs

We are only able to offer places to those participating in all subjects for the full 3 weeks due to the consistently high demand for the limited places, coupled with timetabling constraints. If you are looking for more flexibility regarding subjects or duration of the course, take a look at our Online Summer Intensive Course!

Due to the timetabling of our courses, all students joining the Face-to-Face Summer Intensive Course are required to take all subjects. If you are interested in taking fewer subjects, please feel free to check out our online courses.

Our Year 4 Summer Intensive Course will have a maximum of 10 students per class. There are 80 places available in total (40 for the morning session, 40 for the afternoon session).

Unfortunately, after 1st March, we are unable to offer any refunds.

Please let us know as early as you can if your child is unable to attend.

Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds or reduced rates for any absence during the course unless your child is sick and can produce a doctor's note. We will, however, be able to provide all workbooks and resources for collection to be completed at home.

As their daily homework, students will be required to complete their booklets for all subjects, which will include an extended writing task for English.

We understand it is an intense workload, but from our years of experience, the students who put in the most hard work also gain the most from the course.

If your child is unable to complete all homework for the following day, we will still do our best to mark the completed work at a later date, but cannot guarantee it will be marked before the end of the course.

We will be providing assessment tasks for completion before the start of the course. These assessment tasks will inform class allocation. Throughout the course, OxBridge will monitor student performance and make adjustments to classes where necessary.

More information about the assessment tasks will be provided in due course.
