This summer, teach your child to think — not just practise.
Free, parent-friendly, and built to give you one clear next step.
THE PROBLEM
You've bought the books.
But 'do page 23' isn't a plan. Your child needs a structure, not more drilling.
WHAT CHANGES
Metacognition.
Children who learn to think for themselves — not just regurgitate answers — consistently outperform.
YOUR ROLE
You don't need to tutor.
We show you how to support your child in everyday moments — not just at a desk.
WHERE TO START
Take the free readiness check.
A quick quiz shows which 11+ priority to protect this week, then points you to the next useful step.
Metacognition first.
We teach children to understand their own thinking. A child who knows why they got something wrong will always outlearn a child who just practises more.
Everyday moments matter.
A trip to Tesco. A conversation in the car. We show parents how to build 11+ thinking into ordinary life — not just a desk at 4pm.
Honest, always.
We'll tell you if a target school isn't realistic. We'd rather lose a booking than take your money on a maybe.

Who is Joe
A practitioner, not a franchise.
I built Agency Method because I kept seeing the same pattern: children who knew the content but couldn't perform on exam day. Parents spending thousands with no clear picture of what was actually going wrong.
The difference, in almost every case, came down to metacognition — the ability to think about your own thinking. It's the skill that exam technique is built on. And it's almost never taught.
I work with a maximum of six children at a time in group sessions, and one at a time in 1:1. I'm based in Qatar, but this summer launch is for UK families and uses UK timings. Every session ends on time.

I was doing what most parents do — just giving her the CGP books and hoping. After Joe's parent workshop I finally understood what we were actually supposed to be working on, and how.
