More Than an Exam: Building Confidence for Year 7 and Beyond
The skills developed during 11+ preparation are the foundations for all future learning. It’s about teaching your child how to approach unfamiliar problems with curiosity, not fear. When they learn to break down a complex non-verbal reasoning puzzle or decode a tricky passage of text, they aren't just learning to pass a test. They're building resilience and a problem-solving mindset that will help them thrive in any secondary school, whether that's at one of Plymouth's grammar schools or their local comprehensive.

The Right 11+ Support For Your Plymouth Student
The right tutor sees the child, not just the test papers. They take the time to understand what makes your child tick, where their self-belief wobbles, and how to make learning feel like a shared adventure. We see it every day: a child who was once overwhelmed by timings and question types starts to see them as challenges they can overcome. It’s a partnership that turns 'I can't' into 'Let me try'. Imagine lessons that adapt entirely to your child's needs. If they struggle with maths, their tutor won't just drill times tables; they'll find creative ways to make numbers click. For verbal reasoning, they might explore word origins or play logic games. It’s this personalised approach that builds skills from the ground up, so progress feels steady, genuine and, most importantly, earned by your child. And all of this happens online, fitting seamlessly around your family's life in Plymouth. No extra travel, no logistical stress. Just consistent, high-quality support from a specialist tutor who could be anywhere in the UK, dedicated to helping your child walk into their exams feeling capable and calm. Join the 200,000+ students who've found their confidence with us.

Eleven Plus 11+ Tutor - Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

I have been tutoring for over six years working with children with learning behaviours and dyslexic. Due to the nature of working with children with SEN needs i will only undertake face to face tuition. I am now working with children who are home schooled, which I am happy to do from reception upwards. I am happy to take the lesson outside and think outside the classroom environment.

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 has been delivering 11+ prep lessons to my daughter over the past several months.
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
We're worried about the pressure of the 11+ for Plymouth's grammar schools. How do your tutors help with that?
We completely understand. Our tutors are experienced in managing the anxieties that come with high-stakes exams. They focus on building confidence through competence, breaking down the material into manageable steps so your child feels a sense of mastery. It's about creating a calm, supportive space where it's okay to make mistakes and learn from them, turning pressure into positive focus.
If my child doesn't get into Devonport High or Plymouth High, was the tutoring a waste?
Absolutely not. Our goal is to build skills and confidence for life, not just for one exam. The critical thinking, time management, and problem-solving abilities your child develops during their 11+ preparation will give them a huge advantage in Year 7, whichever secondary school they attend. They'll start their next chapter as a more resilient and capable learner.
How does online tutoring work for something as specific as the 11+?
Online tutoring is incredibly effective for 11+ preparation. Tutors use interactive whiteboards to work through practice questions together, share resources instantly, and tailor sessions in real-time. Because it's online, your child in Plymouth can connect with a specialist from across the UK who has a proven track record of helping students succeed with their 11+.
How do you make sure your tutors are high quality?
We're very 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 not only have excellent subject knowledge but also the passion and communication skills to inspire young learners.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
Finding the right fit is essential, and we want you to be completely happy. If you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How much do 11+ tutors for students in Plymouth cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15 an hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and background. You can browse profiles and filter by price to find the perfect person to support your child and your budget.
My child's schedule is already packed. How flexible are the lessons?
That's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can schedule lessons at times that suit your family, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during the holidays. There's no travel time to worry about, making it much easier to fit into a busy week.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. They'll highlight areas of strength and identify topics that need more focus. You can message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going and work together to support your child's learning.
What equipment does my child need for online lessons?
It's simple! All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complex software to install.
Can my child get help with other subjects besides the 11+?
Yes, of course. We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from core curriculum like Maths and English to languages, coding, music, and even drama. Whatever your child's passion or area of need, we can help.
Are there tutors who understand the specific format of the Devon 11+ exam?
Yes. Many of our tutors specialise in preparing students for specific regional exams. You can check their profiles for experience with the CEM (Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring) format used for the Devon 11+ and even message them beforehand to discuss their approach.
My child's schedule is already packed. How flexible are the lessons?
Yes, you can. Whilst regular sessions are best for building skills over time, many tutors are happy to provide one-off revision or confidence-boosting sessions. You can discuss your needs directly with tutors before you book.
