How it works

Over the course of the week, children will be taught a range of different strategies to solve challenging questions – far too often children resort to guessing in this subject, but this course will help teach more accurate problem-solving skills. The workshops will take place for 2 hours each afternoon across the week with a short break in the middle. Children will be taught how to answer multiple choice questions in all the key areas below.

Our new, week-long course is the perfect way to help children build the early skills in this subject and develop the confidence to tackle any problem. Whether looking to master these skills for examinations, or just to make progress in a subject which requires some attention, our tailor-made verbal and non-verbal reasoning workshop will cover all the key question types and topics included in the curriculum.

By working as part of a small group, pupils will be able to collaborate on their thinking skills and pose questions to their peers, while getting invaluable instant feedback from the teachers. Our unique booklets and resources will replicate many of the questions from real exams and will help fully prepare pupils for what lies ahead.
