11+ preparation

11+ preparation,
paced to the exam.

The 11+ is not one exam. Grammar schools, independents and consortia each set their own paper, and preparing for the wrong format wastes months. We start from the school your child is sitting for.

Questions

Questions parents ask
about 11+ preparation

Rated 5.0 from 10 reviews on Google
Which 11+ format do you prepare for?

Tell us the schools you are applying to and we prepare for what those papers ask, including the timing, which is often what catches children out rather than the content.

Which exam boards do you teach?

AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC, CIE and Eduqas. Tell us which board your child is entered for and which tier, and the tutor teaches that specification rather than a general syllabus.

How is a tutor chosen for my child?

For one-to-one we choose the tutor rather than assigning whoever is free, on the subject, the level, and how your child actually learns. Tutors are university-educated with degree-level knowledge of the subject they teach, and hold an enhanced DBS before a first lesson. We can produce the paperwork if you ask.

If the tutor turns out not to be the right fit, ask for a different one. It is free, you do not need to give a reason, and nothing else about your booking changes.

What do we get after each lesson?

A written report, every lesson, not every term. Which topics were covered, which questions went well and which did not, what was set as homework, and what the next lesson will start with. It appears in your login, where every previous report is kept as well, so you can read back across a term in one place.

Is the trial lesson really free?

Yes. One full hour with a tutor, free, and we do not take a card to book it. You get the written report afterwards the same as any other lesson, and there is no obligation to carry on.

What does it cost?

Rates depend on the number of sessions a week, and the small group class is charged separately. The pricing page works it out for you rather than us restating figures here that could fall out of step.

Start with a free trial lesson

One full hour with one of our tutors, free of charge. You will see how we teach, and you get the write-up afterwards like any other lesson.
