Personalised 11+ Tuition for Every Child
I offer personalised one-to-one 11+ tuition for children preparing for competitive London independent schools, UK grammar schools and independent boarding schools.
With over 12 years of experience supporting children through the 11+ journey, I tailor every lesson to the individual child, taking into account their current academic level, strengths, areas for development, learning style and target schools.
My aim is not simply to prepare children for an entrance examination, but to help them become confident, capable and independent learners.
Face-to-Face Tuition in London
For families based in London, I offer face-to-face 11+ tuition tailored to each child’s individual needs and the schools they are applying for.
I work with children preparing for a wide range of entrance assessments, including:
London independent day schools
UK grammar schools
Selective school entrance examinations
Independent boarding schools
Lessons are designed around the requirements of the child’s target schools and can be adapted as their preparation progresses.
Online Tuition Across the UK and Internationally
I also offer online one-to-one tuition for families across the UK and internationally.
Online tuition provides the same personalised approach as face-to-face lessons, allowing children to receive focused preparation wherever they are located.
I work with families in the UK, Middle East, Asia and other international locations who are preparing their children for applications to UK schools.
Lessons can be adapted to different time zones, academic levels and entrance examination requirements.

Exam Preparation & Technique
Knowing the content is only part of succeeding in an entrance examination. Children also need to understand how to approach unfamiliar questions, manage their time and work accurately under pressure.
I help children develop effective exam techniques, including:
Time management
Question selection and prioritisation
Working efficiently under timed conditions
Checking and correcting answers
Approaching unfamiliar questions
Building confidence under exam conditions
Preparation is tailored to the specific entrance examinations and schools the child is applying for wherever possible.
Interview Preparation & School Readiness
Some independent schools and boarding schools include interviews or additional assessment stages as part of their admissions process.
I can help children prepare by developing:
Confidence when communicating
The ability to discuss their interests and achievements
Clear and thoughtful responses to interview questions
Confidence presenting themselves positively
The ability to listen carefully and respond appropriately
The aim is to help children feel prepared and confident while still being themselves.
Personalised Homework & Revision
Where appropriate, I provide personalised homework and revision activities based on the child’s individual needs.
This allows children to consolidate what they have learned during lessons and gives me the opportunity to identify areas that may require further attention.
Homework is purposeful and tailored rather than simply providing additional work.
A Truly Personalised Approach
Every child is different.
Some children may need to strengthen their foundations before moving on to more challenging material. Others may already be working at a high level and need additional challenge to reach their full potential.
One-to-one tuition allows lessons to move at the child’s own pace.
Children who are struggling can receive focused support to strengthen their understanding and build confidence, while children who are ready for greater challenge can be pushed further.
I regularly adapt lessons according to each child’s progress, ensuring that preparation remains focused and purposeful throughout the 11+ journey.
Who I Work With
I work with families preparing their children for:
London independent school entrance examinations
UK grammar school entrance examinations
Selective school assessments
Independent boarding school assessments
UK school applications from overseas
Whether a child is just beginning their 11+ preparation or needs focused support in the months leading up to an entrance examination, lessons can be adapted to their individual starting point and goals.
One-to-One Tuition & 11+ Masterclasses
For many families, one-to-one tuition works particularly well for core areas such as Mathematics and English, where individualised teaching can make a significant difference.
I also offer separate 11+ Masterclasses, providing children with an additional opportunity to develop areas such as Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning in a small-group setting.
The two services can work alongside each other, allowing families to combine personalised individual tuition with focused group preparation.
Supporting Your Child Beyond the Exam
My goal is not only to help children achieve the results they need to gain entry to their chosen school.
I want children to finish their 11+ preparation feeling more confident in their abilities, more independent in their learning and better equipped to tackle challenging academic work.
The skills developed through thoughtful 11+ preparation can provide a strong foundation for their future education.
