Private 11 Plus Tuition in Bishop's Stortford

Starting 11+ preparation at age 9 allows a steady, pressure-free approach rather than last-minute cramming.

• Year 3 (age 7-8): A gentle introduction that strengthens reading comprehension, vocabulary, and basic arithmetic.
• Year 4 (age 8-9): The sweet spot for most children to start dedicated 11 Plus work.
• Year 5 (age 9-10): Polish skills and build stamina through regular mock tests and past papers.

A gradual two-year approach often produces better results than intensive short-term cramming.

Private 11+ tutoring in Bishop's Stortford generally runs at about £19/h per session.

The final cost depends on a few key elements:

• Whether the tutor is a qualified teacher or specialist (teaching credentials, 11+ specialism, proven results)
• How selective the schools you are aiming for
• Lesson delivery method (individual tuition, group classes, face-to-face, or via video call)
• The number of hours booked per week

Some tutors provide a free trial lesson so you can assess their teaching style before committing.

Children sitting the 11 Plus are tested on English, Maths, and two types of reasoning skills.

• English: Tests understanding of texts, vocabulary, sentence structure, and written expression.
• Mathematics: Tests both calculation skills and mathematical reasoning ability.
• Verbal Reasoning: Measures how children manipulate words, spot patterns, and solve language-based puzzles.
• Non-Verbal Reasoning: Measures problem-solving ability independent of language skills.

Some areas use GL papers while others use CEM, so check which format your target schools require.
