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.

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...

William C
William has been an exceptional tutor for my child, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the progress we’ve seen. He is incredibly kind and patient, always taking the time to ensure that concepts are fully understood rather than rushed through. His calm and encouraging approach has made a huge difference in building my child’s confidence and enthusiasm for learning.
What really sets William apart is his ability to adapt his teaching style to suit my child’s needs. He explains things clearly, finds creative ways to make lessons engaging, and consistently goes the extra mile to keep sessions both productive and enjoyable. My child genuinely looks forward to their time with him, which speaks volumes.
Beyond his teaching skills, William is reliable, professional, and truly dedicated. He creates a supportive environment where questions are welcomed, and mistakes are treated as part of the learning process. Thanks to him, my child has not only improved academically but has also developed a more positive attitude toward learning overall.
I would highly recommend William to any parent looking for a thoughtful, effective, and genuinely caring tutor.

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.

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 !

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.
