FAQ's

📚 What age should you start tutoring for the 11 Plus?

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

  • 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): Intensive practice focusing on exam technique, speed, and accuracy under timed conditions.

Every child is different, so consider their confidence level and how competitive your target schools are.

💰 How much does 11 Plus tutoring cost in Orpington?

Private 11+ tutoring in Orpington generally runs at about £21/h per session.

Prices vary depending on several factors:

  • The tutor's experience and qualifications (QTS status, exam board knowledge, success rate)
  • The competitiveness of your target grammar schools
  • Lesson delivery method (one-to-one, small group, online, or in-person)
  • Lesson frequency and duration

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

🎯 What does the 11 Plus exam actually test?

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

  • English: Reading comprehension, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and sometimes creative writing.
  • Mathematics: Arithmetic, fractions, percentages, ratios, algebra basics, geometry, and word problems.
  • Verbal Reasoning: Word puzzles, synonyms, antonyms, analogies, codes, and logic problems using language.
  • Non-Verbal Reasoning: Tests abstract thinking using diagrams, shapes, and visual patterns without words.

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