11+ Entrance Tutors
11+ Entrance Tutors
Many of the local private schools have entrance tests for entrance to year 7. Our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for these exams.
Entrance Exam Requirements
Most of the schools will need to meet the prospective pupils. Sometimes this is a formal interview, for others it is an informal visit, or a day spent at the school. Almost all will want to see copies of previous school reports. Some of the schools require the prospective pupil to sit an entrance exam. The entrance exams could be any combination of English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non Verbal Reasoning.

We were delighted with Jenny's help. Matthew had been really worried about sitting the entrance exams but Jenny was able to inspire confidence in him and after his taster day he actually came out smiling. What's more, Matthew has now been accepted and he can't wait to start in September.

Both my son and daughter used the tutors at Chatterton Tuition to help with their 11+ entrance exam and both passed. We continue to use Chatterton Tuition to help with revision and to top up any subjects the children feel they need extra help with. My son who is now in his GCSE year is doing both the maths and science group session and he actually is actually happy to do these classes as he knows the revision is spread out over the year rather than crammed in to the last few weeks. My thoughts are that every lesson could be one or two extra marks and this would add up to achieving one or two higher grades in his GCSE. I constantly recommend them to friends.

Abi was first tutored by Sara towards the end of primary school when the 11+ was looming large so it was without hesitation that we turned to her again when Abi's confidence in Mathematics needed a boost. Sara tutored Abi on a 1:1 basis and kept the sessions fairly fluid depending on areas of need each fortnight. Abi's confidence grows palbably during periods of tuition with Sara and this is a testament to the way in which Chatterton tuition cares about helping the pupils in their charge. Abi has just been awarded GCSE Grade 8 for maths and 7 for further maths - it's really hard to see how we could recommend anyone other than Chatterton Tuition!

Alastair was a huge help to my son during lockdown, keeping him on track and providing brilliant resources that kept him engaged between tutor sessions. It really helped my son to improve at a time when it was harder to ask for help in class.

My daughter also attended some group classroom sessions with mock exams with proved invaluable to put my daughter at ease in what can be a stressful time for your child. I can highly recommend Chatterton Tuition. Thank You Phil and Sara.

We have used Chatterton Tuition for 11+ and maths tuition over the last 5 years. Tutors have been excellent and Sara and Phil are always lovely to deal with, can highly recommend them.

Sara was able to tutor our son at very short notice for the 11+. Despite his reluctance, and with very little prep time, Sara helped him pass! Getting the exam practice and especially doing the mocks and supermocks were invaluable. Would highly recommend. Thanks Sara

I am impressed with Jane and Finlay who are both tutors at Chatterton Tuition. David was well supported by both of them, identified his area of weakness and helped him to develop the necessary skills to succeed at the 11plus and independent schools assessments. I am proud to say he got offers in all three schools he applied to and even won an academic scholarship in one of the schools. Thank you!
