How do I know which course or tuition option is right for my child?

You can Contact Us to discuss your child’s age, current school, goals (for example, specific 11+ exams or schools) and any areas of concern. We’ll recommend the most suitable course or 1:1 tuition option, and we can adjust support as your child progresses.

Which 11+ exams and schools do you prepare children for?

We prepare children for a wide range of grammar and independent school entrance exams, including schools such as Tiffin, Kingston Grammar, Westminster, Godolphin and Latymer, LEH, Latymer, King’s College School Wimbledon, Ibstock Place, Putney High and Wimbledon High. We cover English, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, reading comprehension and interview preparation.

When should my child start 11+ preparation?

Most children begin structured 11+ preparation in Year 4 or Year 5, depending on their confidence and school demands. Some families start earlier with creative writing and reading support to build strong foundations. We’re happy to advise on timing based on your child’s current level and target schools.
