The national curriculum looks to ‘promote high standards of language and literacy by equipping pupils with a strong command of the spoken and written word, and to develop their love of literature through widespread reading for enjoyment’ (DofE 2013). In addition to this, we offer verbal reasoning for our 11+ students.
Verbal reasoning
This is the ability to understand and analytically work through problems expressed in words. Pupils are taught how to extract, evaluate, summarise and successfully draw implications from text.
Book club
“Show me a family of readers, and I will show you the people who move the world.”
Napoléon Bonaparte
Evidence suggests that children who read often develop a broader vocabulary, increase their general knowledge and understanding and perform better at tests than those who do not. Reading is probably more likely to contribute to how well a child does at school than their social or economic background.
We offer our pupils as part of their english programme, dedicated lessons to reading and reading comprehension. Our standalone book-club is also an opportunity for our pupils to build on their critical thinking, constructive debating and public speaking capabilities.
In addition to the national curriculum which aims to support students to become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics and ultimately enable students to develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately we also offer the non-verbal reasoning for our 11+ pupils in preparation for their entrance exams.
Non-verbal reasoning
Non-verbal reasoning is the skill required to be able to decipher visual information to solve problems using visual reasoning. This would often be identifying relationships, differences and/or similarities between shapes, patterns and recognising the relationships between visual sequences.
Non-verbal intelligence enables you to analyse and solve complex problems without having to rely on or be limited to language abilities. Career fields using this ability include computer science tasks, physics problems and many mathematical concepts.
“Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where it’s people come from and where they are going.”
Rita Mae Brown
At TutorsAreUs we believe that though we live in a multi-cultural society and globalisation is the way forward it is important that children learn their native languages so as to not forget where they come from.
We have a team of tutors and native speakers offering inspiring and engaging lessons, these are geared at learning a language afresh or refining their fluency. So, whether you want to learn French, Yoruba, Twi or Italian we have the perfect tutor for you.
