About Petra
* My journey as an 11+ exam tutor began in 2013 when my twin daughters started their preparation. They both passed the exam with high scores and gained admission to the Kendrick Grammar School, Reading 2014. * Since then, friends (and friends of friends) were getting in touch to tutor their children for the 11+ exam. I had also tutored children in an 11+ exam afterschool club at a primary school and I found that the best results were achieved in small groups of 2-3 students of similar ability or just individually. A good number of my students are currently studying in the Grammar school or Private school of their choice. * Your child's admission to the Grammar school is important to me and I am ready to go the extra mile to achieve that. * Apart from tutoring I practise physiotherapy.

* What is covered – Maths, English grammar, English comprehension, Verbal reasoning, Non-verbal reasoning, Creative writing and KS2 subjects based on the FSCE/CEM/GL Assessment style exams. * Lessons are usually 1-2 hours long depending on whether child starts in Year 4 or in Year 5 and take place once a week virtually. * My own short weekly tests and regular homework are part of the study routine. Such structure offers instant feedback to monitor students’ progress, strength and weaknesses. Any weakness is immediately addressed in the next lesson and continuously monitored. * A range of 11+ books from reputable and tested publishers are used along with plenty of my own study and practice worksheets and tests. * Since each child has got an individual talent, working very closely with the child and parents reaps the best results. * Having myself lived through the experience of a being a parent of children preparing for the exam, I understand all the intensity, the ups and downs of what each family is going through. I am happy to provide guidance and prepare for this practical aspect too.

Petra is an amazing tutor. She is very consistent, conscientious and calm, and always sets up a high benchmark in a very comfortable and confident way. She does not only teach children well, she gives them confidence on the journey. Petra will always go an extra mile and will do much more than a standard tutor course. Thanks to Petra, my daughter was accepted at Kendrick Grammar School. I highly recommend Petra.
Thanks to her tuition, my son, Daiki could get into Reading boy. Her tution has been very professional, very organised every week with a certain set of homeworks, and effective teaching methods. She does care about the individual learning processes from week to week, very tailored to where students are and how they make a progress.
Daiki could learn new concpets, how to solve the problems, how to be strategic to solve the problemes within time limit, and most of all, necessary discipline to pass the 11+ exam.
We appreaicte so much her professional tution to build up the academic pathways, and we wholeheartedly recommend her tuition for the 11+ success!Petra is my mother who helped guide myself and my twin sister through the 11+ exams back in 2015. We both passed and gained admission at Kendrick Girls Grammar School. Petra is a fantastic tutor who takes the time to analyse weak areas in a students learning and provides custom learning plans based on that. Additionally she has the patience and understanding of how to work with young students, breaking down tricky concepts into simple steps. On top of all that Petra is a warm and friendly person, who is easy to connect and talk to which helps to build a comfortable environment. Her dedication to the students and their parents is outstanding and I strongly recommend her tutoring.

Petra is 100% trustworthy & we’d happily recommend her to others.I have known Petra for nearly 10 years since our daughters became friends at school. She is a wonderful calm and engaging person. Full of kindness and curiousity. She is also a great listener and very naturally develops positive relationships.
She first tutored her own daughters both of whom gained places at the highly selective Kendrick School and since then successfully tutored many more children from all backgrounds, achieve places at their chosen schools.
Over the years Petra has developed her own process and materials for assessing and teaching her pupils. She puts a lot of effort into tailoring her lessons to each childs specific needs, and making each lesson interesting and rewarding.
I have no hesitation in recommending Petra as an extremely experienced and conscientious 11+ tutor, as well as a
lovely warm person your child will be very happy to spend time with!Petra was my 11 plus tutor in 2013/14 when I was studying for the Kendrick Grammar School entrance exam. It was with Petra’s thorough tutoring that I successfully passed the test and got into a school of such calibre. This ultimately opened the door to obtain fantastic schooling, qualifications and a promising career path.
Petra was able to efficiently explain different concepts for maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning in an easy-to-understand manner. The learning was fortified with regular tailor-made homework and weekly tests that Petra had developed herself. In addition to this, she carefully analyzed my thought process and was able to identify the best strategies that worked for me.
With a calm, patient and friendly demeanour Petra was nothing but supportive to my learning and dedicated to my success.Petra has helped our son to pass 11+ exam. She is the most patient and positive teacher I've known. In terms of child's ability, she met him where he was and we as parents found this flexibility so invaluable. Petra applied her expertise and empathy in strengthening his maths and English skills as well as his confidence. Petra's greatest quality is active listening and she's an amazing communicator.
