Book a placeCourse Introduction
This lively and engaging weekly group is designed to help prepare students for the most difficult aspects of entrance exams. Each week, the group will tackle a particularly troublesome topic – English, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning questions which recur again and again.
Course Schedule
We will show students how to navigate these questions, and teach them techniques which are applicable to all aspects of entrance exams. The initial focus will be online assessments – the ISEB Pretest, the Consortium exam, and the in-school InCAS and CAT-4 assessments. We will cover the majority of this content in the group, and will set homework in this format.
The group will be supported by a lively learning game. Students will be rewarded with points, which they can use to purchase prizes as the group goes on.
As this group is likely to be well-attended, please register early.
“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!”

Group Leads
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. Tom has found that group courses really drive attainment – possible due to the nature of the groups, which are supportive and provide guidance and reassurance, and possible as gameplay is incorporated, which helps to mitigate stress and makes learning fun. Either way, it works!
Jacob Shephard
Jacob is a tutor and full-time Education and Exams Advisor who works exclusively with Winterwood. He has been tutoring in London for over a decade, specialising in English, maths and reasoning tuition for entrance exams in particular. Jacob is a friendly and engaging tutor, and is keen to make sure his students are regularly making progress and focusing on their work.

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.
