If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to teach tricky words or worried your child won’t understand vocabulary in the 11+, this club gives them structured support without extra stress for you.
Vocabulary underpins success in every part of the 11+. When children know and understand words confidently, they approach comprehension, reasoning, and writing tasks with less anxiety and greater accuracy.
Your child will...
Learn meanings, synonyms & exam context for high-frequency 11+ vocabulary
Use new words correctly in sentences and exams
Build long-term recall with regular practice
Be noticeably more prepared for English & verbal reasoning exams
What we cover each week:
•Word families & roots
• Context clues & tricky meanings
• Sentence building with target words
• Mini-quizzes & games
• Regular review & spaced practice
You may need to help your child join the Zoom session at the beginning. Once they are settled, students work independently, helping them build confidence and enjoy the learning experience.
Yes. A printable resource pack is provided in advance of each session so parents can print it for their child to use during the lesson. These resources are designed to support active participation and help children engage fully with the teaching. These are uploaded under each section (lesson).
If your child is unable to attend a live session, a recording will be available on this platform, so they can catch up in their own time. This means they won’t miss out on the learning.
The 11+ Vocab Booster Club is ideal for children preparing for the 11+, typically in Years 4–6. The sessions are carefully structured to support a range of abilities, helping children build confidence as well as challenge stronger learners.
Each live session lasts around 30 minutes. Any optional follow-up activities are designed to be short and manageable, so they fit easily around school and homework.
Vocabulary is taught in context using games, discussion and examples, rather than rote memorisation. Children learn meanings, synonyms, and how to apply words confidently in 11+-style questions.
“I'm really pleased we found Alima (which, surprisingly I did via instagram).
Her lessons and courses are well planned and communicated, which gave me confidence in advance of her teaching and the learning outcomes.
Alima builds a lovely rapport with her students, and has helped build my daughter's confidence in contributing answers and too discussion.
My daughter first tried the free vocabulary booster sessions, which were valuable in both learning new words, and getting a sense of where to focus. She then did the 6 week English course, which has helped develop and strengthen my daughter's English skills.
I would gladly recommend Alima. I find her warm and approachable, creating a positive learning environment, combined with well planned lessons to build and strengthen English skills.”

“Alima is a first class teacher and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
She connected with my daughter immediately and made the lessons both fun and impactful with her intuitive teaching style and creative materials and activities. She also provided structured and clear feedback on progress and areas of focus which was really helpful. My daughter absolutely loves her and looked forward to every lesson which I think really says it all.
Thank you so much.”
