Having personally and successfully been through the process and preparation for 11+ exams, I have a flexible approach to teaching, understanding the real pressures and rigours that students face.
Lessons can be structured to target specific weaknesses, whilst lesson plans can be tailored to students of all ages and abilities at KS2 level.
Drawing on a wealth of exam experience throughout 11+, GCSEs, A Levels, University and Medical School entrance tests, proven learning techniques will be provided.
I am a Biomedical Science graduate with experience in student Peer Mentoring and class teaching. I have invaluable personal experience with 11+ exams, having gained places at several top grammar and private schools in the London and Essex areas.
Recent relevant experience includes higher level Medical and Dental School verbal/non-verbal reasoning UKCAT examinations - leading to offers from top Universities.

Valentine is an excellent tutor, providing tutoring for my daughter. He greatly helped her in her exams and allowed her to gain places into top schools, which I was very happy about. He was patient, observant and planned my daughter’s lessons very well, meaning she was able to understand what to do better. I would highly recommend him as a tutor.
