Targeted preparation for London's most competitive Grammar and Independent Schools — delivered live online in groups of no more than five students, with the focus, depth and feedback that makes the difference.
Sessions are structured around the three areas that define strong 11+ English performance. Every element is taught in the context of the schools your child is targeting — not as a generic programme.
The comprehension paper is where many children lose marks unnecessarily. Sessions focus on building the skill of reading closely, responding precisely, and expressing ideas clearly under timed conditions.
At the most selective schools, creative writing is where the highest marks — and the greatest variation between pupils — are found. Sessions develop originality, structure and control alongside vocabulary.
Spelling, punctuation and Grammar underpin everything. Rather than teaching rules in isolation, these are embedded into reading and writing throughout every session — so they become instinctive.
Online sessions are designed to feel focused and purposeful — not like a classroom lesson on a screen. Here is what to expect from start to finish.
Message on WhatsApp to find out about current group availability and upcoming term dates. Places are allocated on a first-come basis and are strictly capped at five.
All you need is a device, a stable internet connection and a Zoom account — free to set up. No special software or equipment is required. Sessions run live with Sumona throughout.
After each session, children receive a homework task directly related to what was covered. This is returned with individual written feedback — not just a mark.
Parents are always welcome to discuss their child's progress directly. You will always know where your child stands and what is being worked on.
Fees for group sessions are available on enquiry. Places are strictly limited to five students per group — once a group is full, no further places are available until the next intake. If you would like to find out about current availability and pricing, the best way to reach me is on WhatsApp.
She started in Year 4 & 5 and we were worried it was a little late — but she got into both HBS and St Paul's. The sessions kept learning engaging while targeting her weak areas with real precision.
Sumona helped him crack both Grammar (QE) and Independent school (Habs Boys) 11+ exams with confidence. She provides much needed motivation and encouragement throughout.
My daughter got into all the private schools we applied for — including an academic scholarship. We are so grateful for the focused, thoughtful preparation she received.
Group places are limited to five students and fill quickly. If you would like to find out about current availability or ask any questions before committing, message me directly on WhatsApp.
