Pam P
Experienced Eleven Plus 11+ Tutor
I am a semi- retired Primary School teacher. I have worked with all age groups in the Primary setting and have a specialised knowledge in the teaching of reading. To keep up to date with the changes in the curriculum I take on some supply work. Over the years I have been tutoring I have helped many pupils reach there full potential. I believe in an individual approach as no two children are the same. This cannot be achieved by the big centres offering only one way of learning.I have taught children who struggle to read, increasing reading age dramatically over a short time and have helped children...

IntroductionHello. I’m George, and my aim as a tutor is to help students develop an understanding that lasts through their schoolwork, homework, and exams. I work toward this goal with patience, teaching in a relaxed way and challenging students as their confidence in a topic grows. Approach to lessonsDuring the first lesson, I often ask pupils to attempt some questions independently to gauge their ability. After this, we will work together on the difficult portions of the work, and I may use drawings, real-life situations and metaphors to explain specific rules or principles. My goal is to guide s...

Mamun A
We started with Mamun few weeks now and I’m happy to see how my son is enjoying the sessions and learning the +11 fundamentals. Mamun is an expert in helping kids in their exams preparation. I was surprised to see that my son do his homework for the next session straight after the session. Mamun transformes the preparation to a game for the kids. We are fortunate to have Mamun.

Lesley H
Lesley has been an excellent tutor for our son, who is in Year 5 and preparing for the 11+ exams. She is highly professional, well structured, and very supportive in her approach. Since he started lessons with her, we have seen a clear improvement in both his performance and confidence. He has recently achieved very strong results in his school assessments and, more importantly, now approaches his work with much greater self-belief and motivation. Lesley is very organised in her teaching, provides targeted homework, and offers clear guidance on how to improve further, including exam technique and time management. Her feedback after each session is always detailed and helpful. We are very grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a committed and effective tutor.

William C
Will has been a great choice for my son who began lessons in September 2025. The change in his confidence, in all subjects, is noticeable and very satisfying to see. Will explains and describes concepts with clarity, so important for the 11+ which are far from easy. I feel that Will understands how to handle my son, and does so exceptionally well, which means that every hour spent together is valuable teaching time with a lot of ground is covered. We are very happy to have him.

Christina V
We have had a great experience with Christina. We engaged her to support our youngest to get through the English assessment to be able to join the same bi-lingual French/English school here in France as her elder sisters (as otherwise, as a native English speaker, she would have been pushed into a French-only local college). Over the months her confidence grew and grew; she successfully passed assessment, and is now at the same college as her siblings. Many thanks to Christina for her contributions, it was everything that we hoped for when we set off on the tutorful journey !

abdul M
Abdul has been an excellent tutor for my child. He is patient, reliable, and explains concepts clearly in a way that actually makes them easy to understand. My child has become more confident in the subject and their understanding has improved noticeably since starting tuition with him. Abdul is always well-prepared, professional, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. He takes the time to identify weaknesses and works through them step by step, rather than rushing through lessons. Communication has also been very good, and he is always happy to give feedback or advice. I would highly recommend Abdul to any parent looking for a dedicated and effective tutor.
