More Than an Exam: Building Skills for Life Beyond the 11+
The 11+ isn't just a gateway to certain secondary schools; it’s a brilliant exercise in building the skills that last a lifetime. Mastering verbal reasoning teaches your child how to carefully analyse arguments, a skill vital for any future study. Conquering tricky non-verbal puzzles builds their creative problem-solving. And developing resilience through challenging maths questions helps them learn not to give up when things get tough. This preparation is about nurturing a curious, confident, and capable thinker.

A Calmer, More Confident Approach to the Eleven Plus
The right tutor sees the person, not just the potential score. They take the time to understand how your child learns, what makes them anxious, and what sparks their interest. It’s a partnership built on trust, where your child feels safe to say 'I don't understand' and celebrated when they finally say 'I've got it!'. This one-to-one attention is how we help children rediscover their belief in themselves. That’s why our tutors—of whom we only accept 1 in 8 who apply—don’t just follow a script. They adapt. If a non-verbal reasoning concept isn't clicking, they'll find a different way to explain it. Each session is a carefully planned step forward, closing knowledge gaps and turning 'I can't' into a quiet, growing confidence. It's progress you can see, not just in practice papers, but in their whole attitude towards learning. Best of all, this support fits around your family's life in Highbury. No stressful journeys across London, just expert tutoring from the comfort of your home. This means your child can connect with the perfect 11+ specialist from anywhere in the UK, not just who happens to live nearby. It's flexible, convenient, and designed to reduce pressure, not add to it. It’s the support your child needs, on your family’s terms.

Lina H
Professional and inspiring Eleven Plus 11+ and English tutor
Maths is usually the subject students struggle with most at school mainly due to the lack of individual help during lessons. Students often don’t ask for help when faced with a topic they find hard and so they develop gaps in their learning, which in itself become problematic later on. In my opinion the first objective of private tutoring in maths should be to systematically deal with those gaps, which are usually identified within the first couple of lessons. Once the gaps are covered, we can then proceed to cover the necessary course material based on individual requirements.I have extensive e...

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.

Mamun A
We are very happy with the support our child is receiving in preparation for the 11 Plus. From the beginning, Manum created a warm, encouraging environment where our child felt completely comfortable and at ease. Instead of feeling pressured, our child actually looks forward to the lessons and is happy to sit through each session fully engaged.
The tutor explains concepts clearly and patiently, adapting their approach to suit our child’s learning style. What has stood out just as much is the ease in communication between our child and Manum which leads to constructive dialogue about strengths and areas to focus on.
Overall, we’ve been extremely impressed with the professionalism, dedication, and genuine care shown. Both our child and we as parents would wholeheartedly recommend this tutor to anyone preparing for the 11 Plus.

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.

Joe is an excellent tutor. He is patient, clear in his explanations, and very knowledgeable about the 11+ curriculum. My daughter has grown significantly in both confidence and ability, and she genuinely looks forward to her lessons with him, which speaks volumes about his approach and manner.
Joe is well organised and supportive, and we have seen clear progress made.
I would highly recommend Joe to any parent looking for a dedicated, effective, and encouraging 11+ tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is feeling overwhelmed by the 11+ pressure in Highbury. How can a tutor help?
We hear this a lot from parents in Highbury. Our tutors focus on creating a calm, supportive space away from peer comparison. The one-to-one online setting allows your child to build confidence at their own pace, ask questions without feeling judged, and focus on their personal progress. It's less about competition and more about building their self-belief.
Do you have tutors experienced with the exams for schools like Highgate or City of London School?
Yes. Many of our tutors have extensive experience preparing students for entrance exams at specific independent and grammar schools. You can view their profiles to see their specific experience and even message them before booking to ask about their familiarity with the requirements for your target schools.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for 11+ preparation?
Absolutely. Online tutoring offers the same dedicated, one-to-one focus as in-person, but with added benefits. Our interactive whiteboard allows tutors and students to work on problems together in real-time. Plus, it gives your child in Highbury access to the best 11+ specialists across the entire UK, not just those who live locally.
What if my child doesn't click with their first 11+ tutor?
Finding the right personality match is essential. We have a first lesson guarantee, so if you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Are your 11+ tutors familiar with the specific exam boards like CEM and GL?
Yes, many of our Eleven Plus tutors specialise in particular exam formats, including CEM, GL Assessment, and school-specific papers. You can use our search filters to find tutors with the exact experience you need, ensuring your child's preparation is perfectly targeted.
How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?
We're incredibly selective. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview them to ensure they have both the subject expertise and the passion for teaching that makes a real difference. With over 4,100 reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, parents trust us to find the best.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them anytime through our platform. The biggest sign, though, is often a change in your child's attitude – when you see them tackling a practice paper with more confidence or explaining a concept they used to find tricky.
How much does online 11+ tutoring for a student in Highbury cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £25 to £50, depending on their experience and specialism. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an excellent tutor who fits your budget.
How long is a typical tutoring session for an 11+ student?
Most 11+ sessions are one hour long. We find this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without overwhelming the student. However, you can discuss your child's specific needs with your chosen tutor, as they can often accommodate different session lengths.
Can tutoring also help with my child's exam anxiety?
Yes, this is a key focus for many of our tutors. By building a strong rapport and patiently working through difficult topics, tutors help demystify the exam process. This builds a child's confidence and equips them with the skills and self-assurance to manage their nerves on the day.
We're focused on the 11+ now, but do you offer tutoring for other things later on?
We do! We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, from GCSE and A-Level support to learning a musical instrument, coding, or a new language. We're here to support your child's learning journey long after the 11+ is complete.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
You can use our search filters to narrow down tutors by subject specialism, experience, and price. Reading their profiles and parent reviews is a great way to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also message tutors before you book to ask any specific questions you have.
