The Right 11+ Support, Right from Your Home in Derby
The best tutors see more than just a student; they see a young person with their own unique way of thinking. Our tutors take the time to understand exactly where your child is feeling stuck or anxious about the 11+. They’re not just instructors; they’re mentors who can turn a moment of frustration into a flash of understanding, building your child’s self-belief with every single session.
Imagine lessons that adapt entirely to your child. If they find verbal reasoning tricky, their tutor can explore different methods until one finally clicks. If they need to build speed in maths, sessions can focus on timed challenges that feel more like a game than a test. This isn't a one-size-fits-all programme; it’s a personal plan designed to help your child make real, visible progress and feel great about what they're achieving.
And it all happens online, fitting perfectly around your family's schedule in Derby. No extra travel, no rushing to appointments. It means your child can learn with a top 11+ specialist from anywhere in the UK, right from the comfort of home. We're proud that over 200,000 students have found the support they need with Tutorful, and we’re here to help your family too.

Dominic M
We have used Dominic for both our children for a long period of time and I would recommend him to everyone looking for a calm and patient tutor. He was flexible and worked on the areas we needed. He helped with both Maths and English (including helping with the 11+).

Mamun A
Mr Mamun is a fantastic tutor who has been teaching both of my daughters. He first started with Ruwaizah for her 11+ preparation, and after seeing his teaching style, dedication, and the care and attention he gave her, we decided to enrol Rufaidah as well.
Mamun provides plenty of homework and keeps Ruwaizah well prepared for grammar school admissions. His lessons are organised, supportive, and very effective.
I would highly recommend Mamun to any parents looking for a dedicated and caring tutor for their children.

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.

Absolutely. The core skills for the 11+ — critical thinking, problem-solving, and time management — are incredibly valuable for starting any secondary school on the front foot. A tutor can help build your child's academic confidence so they arrive on day one feeling capable and ready to excel, regardless of which school they attend.
