Success Stories

" We are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional support James and Maxine provided in preparing for the 11+ exam.

 

Their dedication, expertise, and personalised approach made all the difference. They created a focused, engaging, and structured plan tailored to individual strengths and weaknesses, ensuring consistent progress. Their ability to explain complex concepts in an easy-to-understand way is remarkable, and they always went the extra mile to motivate and inspire confidence.

 

We couldn’t recommend James and Maxine more highly — they are truly outstanding! "

---- Mrs Daplyn​​​

" My daughter started with James in his 11 Plus Year 5 English Greater Depth Class.

 

From the beginning we were hugely impressed by his expertise. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed James's class and improved so much in SPAGs and Comprehension.

 

Around June she also started the creative writing session with James and we are really glad that we took that decision. Her writing improved immensely. What was best about James's creative writing is his feedback. His detailed line by line feedback helped my daughter understand where and how she can enhance her writing.

 

The best thing about James's 11 plus tuition is that he teaches in a friendly atmosphere where the children are allowed to express themselves freely.

 

My daughter received an offer from the Henrietta Barnett School and I thank James for his help all the way of our 11plus journey.

 

I strongly recommend James's tuition at 11 Plus Prep School. "

---- Mrs Nahar​

" I contacted James about 11 plus tuition for my child in a panic very close to their exams and I can say that it was the best decision I made.

 

There are many tutors out there and I honestly saw it as a business set up to exploit parents keen on grammar places for their children. Whilst there is a cost involved James offered me cost saving options such as group sessions. I opted for 1:1 tuition because my child’s confidence was previously knocked.

 

James was patient, encouraging and and even on days where my child was clearly fed up James was understanding and reassuring towards (myself and ) my child. Let’s face it.. us parents need reassurance too. I am not familiar with the exam styles or the types of questions. James is knowledgeable and knows what is required by each school or tests. When my child mentioned what appeared to be a new style of questioning he went away and researched until he was able to prepare them for that topic.

 

My child could not have secured their first choice without his help. I would very highly recommend James if you are looking for an 11 plus tutor. " 

---- Mrs Buck​

" Amazing tutors for the 11 plus exams, my son passed well above the grade needed.

 

They are very interactive and include the children alot during lessons which is just what we wanted. We couldn't have done it without Maxine and Jame's help 🤩.

 

They have some invaluable tips for the exams that can't be learned without their experience. "

---- Mr Mahmood​

" My daughter passed Newstead Wood and Bexley exams with fantastic scores.

I just want to thank James and Maxine for their guidance and support to her throughout. She is over the moon with the results (as are we). She remembers how much confidence you had in her and really couldn't have done this without your help. 

Thank you so much, you made the whole process enjoyable for her. "

---- Mrs P.

" Maxine and James are nice 11 plus tutors who tailor lessons to my son's needs for top private school exams.

 

The lessons are organised by topics and taught in depth.  My son needs extra help with Maths. Maxine's explanation of concepts is easy to understand. She also teaches many alternative methods to solve maths questions. My son much prefers her to other tutors.​

We previous used a much more expensive tuition service agency which didn't give us direct contact with the tutors or provide any feedback on my son's progress.

 

We are so please to have found 11 Plus Prep School. They are much more knowledgable and competent. We now have direct contact with tutors and the cost is half of what we used to pay. "

---- Mrs Elliott-Usta​​​

" We joined 11 Plus Prep School when my son was in year 4.


James’ English classes are amazing, very engaging and my son loved going to them. He liked his style of teaching and methods made him remember what was taught in the class. The quizzes at the end were cherry on top."

---- Mrs V. 

" My child loved studying at 11Plus Prep School. James and Maxine are excellent tutors; they are really responsible and approachable, they always answered my phone calls and emails, and they care about their students' education. As a parent, I found it very reassuring.

I was amazed at the progress my child made so quickly after attending their lessons - Maxine and James know every 11plus topic inside-out, and my child went into his exams high in confidence. He is now in the grammar school of his choice. "

---- Mrs Chen​

" Fantastic support / guidance from James. As a first time mum I was really worried about the 11plus process but James assurances that my DS would pass. He passed very well in Kent and bexley tests."

---- Mrs Okoye​​​

" James and Maxine are great tutors! The sessions were always informative and enjoyable. My child had weekly sessions and received really good scores for all 3 tests she did."

---- Mrs Choi​​​

My son got his results today and has done very well. He will get a place in the school of his choice, probably one of the better grammar schools in Birmingham with his score. ​I can't thank James enough for all the hard work he has put in to get him over the line. He has made massive strides in all his subjects particularly English and Reasoning. ​

 

I would like to thank Maxine as well. He has done very well in Maths.​

 

Thank you again 11 Plus Prep School."

My daughter has passed Tiffin Girls, Sutton, HBS and Wallington Girls.

 

She joined 11 Plus Prep School half way through the year and really enjoyed her lessons with her tutors. She practiced based on her tutors' feedback and I could see a great deal of improvement. 

We are delighted to have secured so many schools. Now it's time to make a decision on which school to choose.

 

I strongly recommend 11 Plus Prep School.​ Thank you so much for all your help. "
