FAQ's

📚 When should my child start 11 Plus tutoring?

Most education experts recommend starting 11 Plus preparation in Year 4, when children are around 9 years old.

  • Year 3 (age 7-8): Focus on building confidence and core English and Maths skills without exam pressure.
  • Year 4 (age 8-9): Introduce exam content, verbal reasoning, and non-verbal reasoning systematically.
  • Year 5 (age 9-10): Effective for confident learners who need focused refinement.

The right timing depends on your child's ability, local competition for grammar school places, and their emotional readiness.

💰 What are the fees for 11 Plus tutoring in Edinburgh?
