Scholarship & Selective Entry Tutor Jobs.

What students are asking for

The kind of scholarship & selective entry prep work that's in demand.

The work is split across (1) verbal reasoning and reading comprehension under time pressure, (2) numerical reasoning at Year 7-8 difficulty even when the student is in Year 5-6, (3) written expression - creative and persuasive - which is the section most students lose marks on, and (4) interview coaching for scholarship rounds. Tutors who've themselves done well at selective entry / scholarship exams are highly sought after.

What We Covered Today

Today's session focused on factorising quadratic expressions. We started by reviewing how to expand brackets, then moved into factorising monic quadratics where the leading coefficient is 1. We worked through several examples from Chapter 5 of the Cambridge Essential Maths 10 textbook, progressing from simple positive constant terms to expressions with negative constants.

How Julian Went

Julian engaged well throughout the session and showed strong conceptual understanding. He was able to factorise standard monic quadratics independently by the end. He still needs practice with negative constant terms - specifically identifying factor pairs where one factor is negative.
