English Language and Literature Eleven Plus 11+ English
Over the past 20 years, I have had the opportunity to develop my teaching skills, gaining valuable experience in teaching learners who need extra support to overcome barriers to achieving. I am aware of issues affecting some learners which can and have over ridden their choice and chance of participating in education. My qualifications such as BA(Hons) Degree in Education where I used Autism in the classroom as my Dissertation, Certificate in Education, L3 Awareness in ASD and L5 Adult Specialist in English , are necessary to implement resources to motivate such barriers and complex needs, including...

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.

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.

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.
