What Is Verbal Reasoning?
Verbal Reasoning is a type of problem-solving that uses words, language, and logic. It helps children to:
- Spot patterns in words and letters
- Understand and apply new vocabulary
- Follow sequences, codes, and instructions
- Tackle word-based puzzles
- Make logical connections and deductions
These skills show how well a child can think and reason and therefore form a key part of many 11+ and grammar school entrance exams. A skilled Verbal Reasoning tutor can help children develop these abilities with confidence and clarity.
What Makes Teatime Tutoring Stand Out?
What makes our groups stand out is our bespoke programme. Materials are created by our in-house, experienced Verbal Reasoning tutors, who have years of experience examining 11+ entrants and preparing students for entrance exams. This means every lesson is targeted, up to date, and focused on the exact skills that make the biggest difference on exam day. Families also receive clear guidance on next steps, so progress continues between sessions.
Teatime Tutoring is led by an 11+ specialist with years of experience in the 11+ world, including senior leadership roles in top preparatory schools. This expertise brings insider knowledge of what schools look for, how entrance papers are designed, and how to prepare children confidently and effectively. With a highly successful track record of supporting pupils to secure places at competitive schools, our approach combines high expectations with nurturing support, helping children make excellent progress while building calm, resilient exam confidence.
Teatime Tutoring stands out because families receive written feedback after every lesson, so you always know what was covered, how your child got on, and exactly what to do next. Homework is set weekly, then marked and reviewed, ensuring skills are reinforced between sessions and progress stays on track. This consistent loop of teaching, feedback, and practice leads to faster progress, stronger independence, and greater confidence — with no guesswork for parents.
Teatime Tutoring believes in open, honest communication with parents. Our tutors are available for check-ins and meetings throughout the year, and if a child is struggling, this will be flagged early and clearly so we can work together on the right support. If a tutor believes that entrance exams are not the right way forward for an individual child, they will have an honest discussion with parents about this. This open, honest partnership is central to our ethos:
Crafting Confidence. Empowering Excellence — ensuring every child feels supported, celebrated, and challenged to make their very best progress.
