11 Plus Prep School offers a comprehensive range of online tuition formats designed to suit different learning needs and target schools:Year 4 & Year 5 Core Tuition: Our foundational weekly group courses cover all essential 11+ subjects on a rotating basis. Limited to small groups (up to 12 students), these highly interactive sessions feature engaging teaching slides, live online quizzes, and active discussions to build well-rounded confidence. Intensive Subject Excellence Programmes: For students requiring a deeper, more rigorous focus, we offer specialised weekly programmes dedicated to individual subjects (English, Mathematics, or Reasoning). Unlike our core tuition, these intensive classes do not rotate subjects, allowing for advanced, continuous mastery of a single area. School-Specific Preparation: For highly competitive grammar schools, we run dedicated, tailored courses. This includes our St Olave’s Stage 1 Course in Super-Selective Verbal Reasoning and our comprehensive St Olave’s Stage 2 Exam Course in Mathematics and English. Holiday Boot Camps & Short Courses: During school breaks, we run targeted short courses—such as our Summer Boot Camps and specialised Creative Writing blocks—to consolidate knowledge and refine exam techniques.

Our online tuition is designed to be just as engaging and effective as in-person learning, with the added convenience of studying from home. The key benefits of our approach include:Highly Interactive Lessons: We use dynamic teaching slides, live on-screen annotations, and interactive online quizzes to keep students actively involved throughout the session. Convenience & Comfort: Students learn in a safe, familiar environment without the stress, distraction, or wasted time of travelling to a physical centre. Focused, Supportive Environment: Whether in a one-to-one session or a small group (maximum of 12 students), our online setup ensures tutors can actively monitor participation, answer questions directly, and provide immediate encouragement. Clear Exam Technique Breakdown: By screen-sharing complex problems—especially for tricky Non-Verbal Reasoning spatial puzzles or multi-step Maths—tutors can visually break down methods step-by-step, helping children master advanced exam techniques with confidence. This structured, interactive format ensures that every child remains focused, motivated, and thoroughly prepared for their 11+ exams.

To ensure students remain focused and get the most out of their sessions, our lesson durations vary depending on the course format:Regular Group Tuition: Our weekly core and Excellence Programme lessons typically last 1 hour. This is the ideal length to maintain high engagement and concentration during term time. Intensive Boot Camps & Short Courses: Holiday and targeted seasonal courses run for 2 hours. This extended time allows us to dive deeply into comprehensive practice, in-depth reviews, and advanced exam techniques. One-to-One Private Tuition: These sessions are flexible and can be booked for either 1 or 2 hours, depending entirely on your child’s individual needs, stamina, and how close they are to their exams.

Yes. To ensure consistent progress, we assign targeted homework after every lesson.Our weekly homework typically consists of two key components:Core Textbook Assignments: We assign specific pages from core 11+ textbooks to ensure students systematically cover foundational concepts and build their independent study habits. Topic-Specific Worksheets: Alongside their textbook work, we provide tailored worksheets designed to directly reinforce the exact exam techniques and topics taught in that day’s class. This dual approach ensures students practice key skills across English, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning. It works hand-in-hand with our interactive online quizzes and regular assessment papers to provide a complete, highly effective preparation programme for all major 11 plus exam boards.

Yes. Students are required to complete half-termly assessment papers for the courses they attend. These assessments help measure progress, identify areas for improvement, and ensure your child is on track.

We use a comprehensive, data-driven approach combined with continuous tutor observation to monitor your child’s development:Regular Assessments & Analytics: Students complete regular assessment papers, which are tracked through our dedicated benchmarking system. This allows us to generate detailed progress reports that highlight exact percentages, topic-level performance, and how your child is performing relative to their cohort. In-Class Monitoring: During our live lessons, we use interactive quizzes and targeted questioning to immediately gauge a student’s understanding of new concepts and exam techniques. Collaborative Feedback: We view 11+ preparation as a partnership. We actively encourage parents to share feedback on how their child is managing the weekly textbook assignments and topic-specific worksheets at home. This combination of hard data and open communication ensures we can quickly identify areas for improvement and adapt our support to strengthen your child’s learning journey.

Absolutely. If your child needs targeted support in a specific area to build their confidence and ability, we offer two highly effective solutions:Year 5 Excellence Programmes: These intensive, weekly group courses focus deeply on a single subject—either Maths, English, or Reasoning. Because these classes do not rotate subjects, they allow students to systematically break down difficult concepts and build advanced mastery in the area they find most challenging. One-to-One Private Tuition: For the most highly tailored support, our tutors can work one-on-one with your child. This allows us to adapt every lesson precisely to their individual strengths, learning pace, and specific knowledge gaps. For more details on how we can support your child's individual needs, please visit our Tuition page.

We understand that absences occasionally happen due to illness or family commitments. While we do not offer refunds for missed group lessons, we provide a few flexible ways to ensure your child doesn't fall behind:Join an Alternative Class: Where scheduling and capacity allow, your child can often join the exact same lesson running with another group that week. Catch-Up Materials: If attending another group session isn't possible, we will send you the list of topics taught, charts, relevant revision links, and the weekly homework so your child can cover the topic independently at home. Private Catch-Up Session: If your child needs direct tutor support to grasp the missed concepts, you can book a dedicated one-to-one session (charged at our standard 1:1 hourly rate) for highly personalised catch-up tuition. Kindly note: Due to the highly interactive nature of our lessons, we do not record any sessions in accordance with GDPR and strict safeguarding policies.

No, we do not record our lessons. This is a strict policy designed to protect our students' privacy and safeguard the high quality of our teaching.Unlike some online tuition centres where students passively watch a screen with their cameras and microphones turned off, our lessons are highly interactive. We require students to have their cameras on and to actively speak and participate during the class. This allows our tutors to monitor their focus, check their understanding in real-time, and engage with them directly—just as they would in a physical classroom.Because our students are highly visible and actively involved, recording the session on Zoom would automatically capture the faces, voices, and names of the children participating. In accordance with UK safeguarding and data protection (GDPR) standards, we will never record or distribute footage of our students. We firmly believe in prioritising a safe, interactive, and highly focused learning environment over passive video watching.
