11+ tutoring that improves scores

At Edmento, lessons start from £15 an hour. Across the UK, 11+ tutoring costs vary with the tutor's experience, how many papers your child is sitting and how much exam preparation and support is included. We start with a free consultation and a trial lesson, with no large upfront package, so you can judge the value before committing.

It usually is when lessons target the specific reasons your child is losing marks. Working through practice papers rarely moves a score on its own; a tutor who diagnoses gaps, sets focused practice and gives feedback on your child's own work can. The trial lesson lets you judge before committing.

Most families start in Year 4 or early Year 5, which leaves time to build skills gradually rather than cramming. Most 11+ tests are sat at the start of Year 6, so later starts are possible but need a more focused plan.

Once a week suits most children, often increasing over the summer before the test. We'll suggest a plan based on your child's starting point, the papers they're sitting and their target schools.

It depends on the school or area. Most tests include some combination of English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning, and some independent schools add a creative writing task or interview. Tell us your target schools and we'll focus on the papers they actually set.

We prepare children for GL Assessment tests, CEM-style papers, the ISEB Common Pre-Test and independent schools' own exams. Tell us your target schools and we'll match a tutor familiar with their format, question types and timings.

Grammar school tests are usually multiple-choice papers set by GL Assessment or in a CEM style, with a pass mark or ranking. Independent schools often set their own English and Maths papers, may use the ISEB Common Pre-Test and frequently add an interview. Preparation differs, so we plan around the schools you're applying to.

It can, though no honest tutor guarantees a result. Progress comes from fixing the specific gaps and technique problems that cost marks, practising regularly under timed conditions and getting feedback. We track progress and share updates, so you can see whether it's working.

Speed comes from accuracy and familiarity, not rushing. A tutor builds recognition of common question types, teaches when to move on and gradually introduces timed practice so your child learns to pace a whole paper.

By building checking into how they work: reading the question twice, underlining key words, writing working down and checking answers against the options. A tutor spots the specific slips your child tends to make and targets those.

Lessons happen live, 1-to-1, over video. Tutor and student work on a shared digital whiteboard, so every answer and line of working is visible, and practice questions are tackled step by step together. Your child needs a laptop or tablet and a quiet space; many families find it easier than travelling to lessons.

We match on the papers and format your child is sitting, their target schools, their needs and their personality. After the free assessment we suggest a tutor, and your child has a trial lesson so you can both judge the fit before committing.

Yes. You can receive lesson feedback and progress updates, and your Student Success Manager is available whenever you have a question or concern.

Tell your Student Success Manager and we'll find a better match. It happens occasionally, and it's easy to fix.
