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.

Martin F
Inventive Eleven Plus 11+ tutor here!
Hello parents and students, a few slots have become available!I realise you guys can be shy, so I am happy for cameras to stay off.I have enjoyed online tutoring of Maths, English and Science for 4 years, up to GCSE. I have devised my own student centered approach based mainly on past papers, as this ensures the syllabus is covered accurately, and that students are prepared for exam conditions. When I identify a weak area, we explore it in depth using practice questions from resources such as GCSE Bitesize. I picture myself as a friendly big brother whenever I'm teaching, which seems to be effective...

Luke S
Luke has tutored my son for the admissions exam for year 7 entry including finding out details of the exam and assessing which areas my son needed support in. He has enjoyed the lessons (half the battle!) and Luke has been a calm and reassuring guide in the run up to the exam.

William C
William is a great 11+ tutor for our son.
Within a short period of time he was able to recognise his strengths and encourage him and us. He was also able to quickly identify areas for improvement and strategically challenge him so that he feels motivated and not overwhelmed. He has a good rapport with him such that he feels comfortable asking questions and speaking up if he doesn’t understand something. Overall this has helped to improve his learning experience.
He introduced us to a great online tool, which he uses during the lesson to provide structure and focus. He also uses it to set weekly tasks, which has been useful for us to monitor his progress. After each lesson we get helpful feedback on how well he did and what he needs to work on, which has really helped us engage more with his learning.
Our son is keen to pass his 11+ exams and having William as his tutor has been a great confidence boost for all of us, therefore we would highly recommend him to others.

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.

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.
