Course Introduction

With so many students now beginning preparation in year four, the group is designed to provide a gentle introduction to entrance exam topics, particularly verbal and non-verbal reasoning.

Course Schedule

The group will teach the full verbal and non-verbal reasoning syllabus, and will be supported by a lively and fun learning game. Students will be able to earn points, and use them to win prizes.

“Winterwood tutors are highly recommended. Their group sessions are perfect for boosting knowledge in the key areas, while kids enjoy the competitive environment. Their tutors are very keen and productive!”

Our Cancellation Policy

If you cancel less than two weeks ahead of the start date of the course, the fee is non-refundable and non-transferable to another date or another student.

If you cancel outside of the two week course date, we will happily credit your account to attend a future course.

If you do not show up for a course, you are not eligible for a credit or refund.

Why we charge a cancellation fee

This is to cover the tutors’ reserved time to run a group course, to pay for their time spent pre-planning the class and relevant material, printing fees incurred and the loss of revenue to Winterwood as it is often too late to fill a cancelled space. More importantly, other students miss out on attending a group.
