Set them homework at the end of one tutorial and mark it remotely before the next one begins – saving you precious time and keeping you up to date with their progress.

Parents get free accounts and can log in to view their child’s progress at any time, meaning you don’t need to update them so often. All the work students complete on the platform is tracked down to the individual concept. This means you know exactly where their strengths and weaknesses lie, can provide appropriate support and are able to show the improvement you’ve made together.

AE Publications began developing learning resources in 1999 and specialises in preparing pupils for 11+ exams and SATs. 

The founder of AE Publications, Dr Stephen Curran, started creating, developing and publishing his own ‘how-to’ material for use within his tuition classes. As the number of books grew he decided to publish them for wider use. 

There are now over 100 books in the range and these are constantly being improved to meet the needs of tutors, parents, children and changing exam board requirements. New books are continuously being added to the range to ensure that all 11+ preparation requirements are covered. 

Tutors are highly valued by AE Publications. Our range of titles has grown from the need of AE Tuition, our sister company, to have good quality educational material.

With the AE Tuition Centres achieving a success rate of around 85% when using AEP workbooks, testbooks and testpacks, we know that the resources we have created can help you to achieve similar results with your students.

We have books available in all year groups across all subjects to help you build a complete scheme of work.
