Why 4+ Assessment preparation doesn't have to feel so overwhelming.

The first time I ever prepared a child for their 4+ Assessments, I was 25 years old (nearly 15 years ago!) 

 I was working at a popular top pre- prep school in Hampstead and I had never been immersed in this world until now. 

I remember being very concerned about how overwhelmed and stressed out the parents of my students felt. 

 I had never been through this process before and clearly I had a lot to learn. 

 Thankfully for the parents of my students, I was gifted at preparing children for their 4+ Assessments (and the 7+ assessments!)

I remember seeing the looks on their faces when they came in to see me the day that they had received the results and their child had been successful at gaining entry to their dream school. 

I knew there and then that this was what I wanted to do. I wanted to support parents all over the country to have the same levels of success. I didn’t want parents to feel overwhelmed and stressed about this process at all.

There is a Secret to passing any 4+ Assessment!

This is a secret that most parents who have already been through the process will not share with you (I don’t know why this is!) and this is a secret that these top schools will also not share with you (I also don’t know why this is!)  

 The secret is to be consistent every single day even when you don’t feel like it!

 It’s very simple isn’t it? 

Well just because it’s simple, doesn’t mean it’s easy. 

 We all have other life commitments and we all have other things going on. But the secret really is consistency. 

Every single day commit to doing at least 30 minutes of learning with your child. What a game changer that would be for your 4+ Assessment success!
