How do you know if your child’s eleven plus teacher or tutor
is teaching effectively?
Step One
You have to be sure you know what you want your child to
achieve. Do you want and eleven plus pass or a motivated and hard-working
child? Can you achieve both?
Step Two
How can you measure your child’s attention and interest in
the lesson and in his or her work? Do you feel that the right amount and extent
of homework is being set? Does your child leave the lesson feeling happy and
fulfilled?
“How was your lesson, dear?”
“All right.”
Step Three
Is the content of the lesson appropriate to your child’s
needs? Is your child learning what he or she needs to learn? Is the delivery
effective in helping your child to understand?
Step Four
Are the lessons helping your child to bond with you – or are
they proving divisive?
