Frequently Asked Questions

Strive Tuition is a dedicated tuition service designed to support children in reaching their full potential—both academically and personally. We offer small group sessions led by fully qualified teachers, with a particular focus on preparing students for the Medway Test (11+).

All our tutors are experienced, fully qualified teachers with current DBS checks. They bring a wealth of expertise, a passion for education, and a deep understanding of the curriculum. Our Tuition Co-ordinator is Crystal Powell, a Medway-based educator with nearly a decade of experience in upper Key Stage 2 education.

We currently specialise in tuition for Year 5 students, particularly those preparing for the Medway Test (11+). However, our focus on confidence, skills, and core subject knowledge supports all learners—regardless of their test goals. We are also considering expanding to include Year 4 students.

We offer small group tuition, with a maximum of eight students per class. This allows for personal attention while also encouraging peer learning and confidence-building in a collaborative setting.

Our structured Medway Test (11+) programme covers Maths, English, and Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Lessons alternate weekly between English/Reasoning and Maths/Reasoning. We also offer tailored revision resources and regular assessments to track progress.

Each session lasts one hour and takes place weekly during Medway school term time.
