Case Study Finding
Fiaz ONLY Pupils scored an Average of 244.34 in 50% less tuition time (152.5Hrs) as compared to Fiaz & an 11+ Literacy Tutor Pupils who scored an average of 239. 97 with (315.5 Hrs) with a financial saving of approximately £2,035.
This case study is based on classes taught by Fiaz (Solely) and (Jointly with an 11+ Literacy Tutor) from Sept 2017 - Sept 2019. 2 Years Preparation for the 11+ Grammar exam.
MORE TUITION DOES NOT NECESSARILY EQUAL BETTER RESULTS
Tuition Options for 11+ Preparation.
At My Learning Club From August 2020 Pupils can choose to do the Full 11+ Course for Grammar or Independent in 50% less tuition time and attend only 1 Day per week with Option 1 (REMOTE ZOOM) or Option 2 (IN CLASS) and do Literacy, Maths, and NVR with Fiaz.
Current pupils after the Covid-19 Pandemic were completing classes with Option 3 (REMOTE ZOOM) attending 2 days a week. One day Literacy and one day Maths/NVR. Options 4 (IN CLASS) will automatically be available when we return back to the classroom but one class will run Option 3 (REMOTE ZOOM) from the comfort of their home and will only do Maths/NVR.
OPTION 1. From the comfort of your home have tuition 1 Day a week. The FULL 11+ Course in Literacy, Maths & NVR with Fiaz and his assistants for REMOTE ZOOM Tuition and receive Weekly Explainer Videos.
You may be required to attend additional support classes or a monthly support webinar to ensure you can keep up with the course if you are not performing at the level required. These additional support sessions are at no additional cost but are compulsory.
OPTION 2. Attend Tuition 1 Day a week. The FULL 11+ Course Literacy, Maths & NVR with Fiaz and his assistants for IN CLASS Tuition (Solihull Classroom) on Saturdays and receive Weekly Explainer Videos.
We have absolutely NO RESERVATIONS if a parent attends Literacy Club and Maths/NVR Classes - tuition on 2 Days a week - Options 3 or 4. Options 1 or 2 - tuition on 1 Day a week are offered to help parents decide wisely about a two-year commitment to do double the tuition time, give up weekends for two years or 2 days a week at an additional cost when choosing to do 2 days a week course.
Ultimately, parents have a free choice in how they wish to prepare for the 11+ and the tuition services which they wish to deploy.
We always advise parents to only use tutors who have a published track history and can offer complete transparency of results. Your child will only have a single chance to sit the 11 plus and no-one should dictate who you use and who you should not. Proven published track history and results offer complete peace of mind, especially to parents going through the 11+ journey for the first time.
My Learning Club will continue to teach, mentor, serve, guide, and provide the best preparation to all pupils who enrol on any 11+ course and leverage the resources and infrastructure of Solihull Professional Tuition Centre, a founder member of the Association of Professional Tuition Centres.
11 Plus Course Limited set by Fiaz in 2020 is a digital online platform for 11+ Explainer Videos in Literacy, Maths, NVR and hosts Model Answers for 11+ Scholarship Maths and proprietary National 11+ Online Mock Exams. We aim to deliver the most relevant 11+ CEM Mock Exam experience and as close as possible to the ‘Real Life Exam’
Mock Exams have been custom written by Fiaz and his expert team of writers and are based on the 11+ CEM examination structure and question types. Many publicly available resources by national publishers are out of date. The exact question format in the current 11+ CEM exam forms the basis of both the online 11 Plus Course and the custom 11+ Mock Exams.

All highlighted pupils were jointly taught by Literacy Club and Maths/NVR Club. The Maths/NVR course components are identical to the Maths/NVR course run at Solihull Professional Tuition Centre as part of the full 11+ CEM Literacy, Maths/NVR course.
The Mean Average of Pupils who were taught Maths/NVR by Fiaz was 239.07 compared to the rest of the pupils who averaged 229. An Average of 10 Marks higher than pupils taught Maths/NVR elsewhere.
Scoring an average of 244.34 with ONLY 152.5 Hours - Half the My Learning Club Tuition Time and saving £2,035 in tuition fees!
In 2019 Solihull Professional Tuition Centre Results for the top 29 pupils were Fiaz taught the full course were 4.4 marks higher than the marks for the 29 children taught jointly by an 11+ Specialist Literacy Tutor and Fiaz at My Learning Club.
These children followed a course of 152.5 hours (Average Score 244.34) versus 315.5 hours (Average Score 239.97) - jointly by Fiaz and an 11+ Literacy Tutor if a child at My Learning Club did all the holiday clubs. 51.6% hours LESS tuition to get 4.4 marks higher average than their counterparts.
More Tuition does not always mean a better outcome
The actual cost difference which parents sometimes do not fully take into account can be an ADDITIONAL £2,035 cost over two years excluding the cost of additional travel, petrol, waiting time and sacrifice to family life for two years.
Ultimately, parents should understand that the choice is purely theirs as to how they plan their 11+ journey. This case study is to merely report factual information regarding the 2019 cohort last year so parents can decide on the best course of action for their child.
For some parents it is all down to lifestyle and attending one day a week and that option is available as Option 3.
Since lockdown a ZOOM REMOTE course is offered which is identical to the actual in class Maths/NVR course – parents can still attend the Literacy Club and do the Maths/NVR prep remotely. The Year 5 11+ Scholarship Maths Course is being completed remotely this year and it looks like the August Mock Programme is also likely to be taught remotely. This tuition offering is now offered to suit your family and lifestyle balance.
Children taught by Fiaz the Full Course including Literacy, Maths and NVR attended a course once a week for 1 hour 15 minutes in Year 4 and a 2 hours 15 minutes class in Year 5 for 35 weeks each year at Solihull Professional Tuition Centre for 152.5 hours. This was a broader range ability group and scored an average of 244.34 with one child also getting a place at Eton College.
Children taught by Fiaz and an 11+ Literacy Tutor jointly at My Learning Club pupils attended a course twice a week for 2 hours in Year 4 and 3 hours in Year 5 for 40 weeks each year. A total of 74 hours Year 4 and 241.5 hours in Year 5 a total of 315.5 hours including holiday clubs and the Solihull Professional Tuition Centre August Mock Revision Course of 30 hours taught by Fiaz covering Literacy, Maths and NVR. This was a higher ability selected group, and they scored 239.97 as an average. This was 4.4 marks LOWER than their counterparts taught ONLY by Fiaz.
Outcome: Efficiency of tuition processes, adoption of technology and increased motivational levels of children with a broad range ability cohort of children, can eventually achieve better results than strong candidates who have double the tuition time with two 11+ Expert Tutors.

As of August 2020, the My Learning Club classroom is now at 631 Warwick Road Solihull B91 1AR and is open for IN CLASS TUITION & REMOTE ZOOM TUITION on Saturdays.
Fiaz Rashid will still honour all places contracted to teach under My Learning Club and mentor both children and parents towards a guideline target mark for each individual child. A ‘child centred’ philosophy is adopted to raise attainment and improve the pupils' future education and confidence.
My Learning Club courses in Maths/NVR will run for all pupils wishing to pursue the legacy course at My Learning Club and these classes will run on Saturdays at 631 Warwick Road, Solihull, B91 1AR.
There is an option to attend just once a week and do the full course on a Saturday or on a Sunday where the full course in English, Maths and NVR will be taught which will be identical to the full course at Solihull Tuition taught by Fiaz on a Sunday.
If you wish to move to that course or want extra reinforcement of the literacy skills required for the exam or to replace attending two classes a week and opting for a better quality of family life and balance and attending only ONCE a week, better still attending REMOTE ZOOM lessons the choice is yours.
Ultimately, it is all about getting the highest score in the examination for parents by completing efficiently, the least amount of tuition hours at a fair investment cost and ensure your child is happy and relaxed on the journey to become the best possible version of themselves.
Decide wisely, decide sensibly, if you need to discuss your particular circumstances then please call 07758314202. Fiaz is always available to help and serve parents with the right professional and impartial advice on their 11+ journey, especially if this is your first child and the process is overwhelming for you.
