We are English/VR/Writing specialists but  children also attend specialist Maths / Maths & NVR tuition (there's no NVR in local Independent school exams)

There are five tutors who work with The Literacy Club to provide Maths/NVR tuition to pupils. These tutors have agreed to respect our class times and structure/methodology, and have fair payment policies in place.

They are (in alphabetical order):

Laurie Whyte - Edgbaston, Birmingham

I’m Laurie Whyte. I spent three years as an assistant  to Morine Whyte, a very experienced tutor, before running my own classes for the last seven years, while also gaining a BSC from Birmingham University . I’m experienced in the Birmingham/Warwickshire examination objectives and preparation, following a course devised in-house which has proved very successful in securing selective places for children in Birmingham grammar schools as well as the private sector. 
11 Plus Maths/ NVR classes will be held at Walker Hall, Ampton Road, Edgbaston  on weeknights from Tuesday to Friday. 
There will be a class size of 9-10 children maximum with assistants who will be high calibre grammar school sixth formers
The fee is £25 per class. This is a one hour lesson and will stay one hour through Year 4 & 5.
Places are subject to the passing of an assessment. I recommend between 1 hour and 2 hours but no more will be spent per week on homework.

Leo Tat – Hall Green/Online

I am a graduate with a first degree in Mathematics (The University of Manchester), and a qualified maths teacher (PGCE, QTS) who presently teaches maths up to A-level in a selective independent school.   
Previously I worked in a state secondary where I set up interventions to push GCSE pupils to Grade 8/9 as well as bridging the gap with those who were struggling with maths.   
As well as working as a teacher, I tutor pupils for 11+ Maths/NVR as well as selective independent school entrance.  Additionally, I tutor KS3, GCSE and A-levels.

 11+ Maths/NVR class fees are £24 per hour. Places are secured after passing an assessment.  There are also classes aimed at independent school entrance.’

Maumita Ghosh – Shirley, Solihull

I'm Maumita Ghosh. With 18 years of professional teaching experience under my sleeve (spending 4 years in Germany, and 14 years in England), I have developed my love for teaching, and decided to start home tutoring. While I am still a school teacher, I am also a private tutor, teaching both face to face, and online, in groups of up to 6 students. 

Specializing in Maths and NVR tuition for children aged between 8 - 13, I cover both the school curriculum, and the knowledge needed for the 11+. In my years of teaching, I have helped many students reach their potential and excel in both school and the grammar school exams. For children in year 4, my sessions last 1¼  hours and cost £20, while for children in year 5 the sessions last for 1½ hours and cost £25.

Rebecca Barnes – Central Sutton Coldfield

I completed my BSc (Hons) in Mathematics at the University of Birmingham in 2000 and qualified to teach up to A level at Warwick University (PGCE Maths).  I have been a Head of Maths Faculty, Lead Practitioner, Fast Track Teacher and have worked for many years in a grammar school teaching up to A level (specialising in intervention groups to improve attainment both at GCSE and A Level).
I am passionate about preparing children not only to cope well, but thrive in grammar school.  My focus is on: 1 hour weekly teaching sessions, short frequent daily practice, tailored feedback and monitoring. Each teaching session will be an hour on Sunday morning in groups of six.
Before starting the first lesson your child will need to complete an initial assessment (£10) so that I can monitor their progress each term.  Lessons are £30 and paid in blocks of four weeks. During school holidays I ask that the ten minutes practice per day is continued to ensure the standard and speed are maintained.  In order to access the work and get the most out of the lessons children need to know their times tables up to at least 12x12.

Sadaf Adil -  Central Bham/online

I am a qualifed maths teacher (QTS). I have specialised in teaching primary school children and have a lot of experience with helping children succeed in all subject areas at school. I have worked with children who have learning difficulties as well as children who are working above age-related expectatons. I have gained immense satisfaction over the years when working with children needing additional support. I have helped them build a strong foundation, which has boosted their confidence. Through hard work and dedication, this has enabled many to progress and gain a place at a grammar school. I know from personal experience that this can be quite a stressful time and will always make time to support parents. You will always be welcome to contact me (email/text/phone) withany questions/concerns throughout your 11 plus journey. I currently teach maths/NVR in small groups (max 7) online and face to face. Fees are £30 for 1.5 hours. To contact Sadaf please email: tuition.sadafadil@gmail.com
