This short focus group is designed to cover 7+ maths and problem solving. The group will focus on core questions which will come up on the entrance exams which take place in autumn – for King’s, Westminster and St Paul’s.
Course Schedule
On Day I the group will focus on maths problem solving, and problem solving. This will span 7+ problem solving exercises, for example critical reasoning, spatial reasoning, and maths problems with a significant verbal component.
On Day II the group will focus on 7+ maths essentials – questions testing fractions, money, time, measurement and missing operations. Students will look at real-exam material, and get used to how question types can be presented in exam papers.
The group will be led by Dr Tom Parkinson and Oliver Ford. Oliver will cover problem solving on Day I, and Tom will cover maths on Day II.
“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!”

Oliver has helped students gain places at schools such as Westminster, St. Paul’s, Highgate, UCS and City of London School Boys, alongside helping them achieve prestigious scholarships at schools like Eton. Oliver has well over 5,000 hours of tutoring experience. His teaching style is patient and encouraging, he makes learning fun and creates dynamic resources which contextualise learning within topics that his students require for exams.
Dr Tom Parkinson
Tom is Winterwood’s co-founder and overseas the entrance exam cohort. Tom has been running educational groups for the past decade, and has created several bespoke learning games which he uses in his group classes.

Either way, it works!
