FAQ's

📚 When should my child start 11 Plus tutoring?

Year 4 is widely considered the ideal starting point for 11 Plus tutoring, giving children two full years to prepare.

  • Year 3 (age 7-8): Focus on building confidence and core English and Maths skills without exam pressure.
  • Year 4 (age 8-9): Begin targeted practice with exam-style questions while keeping sessions manageable.
  • 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.

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

11 Plus tuition in Plymouth typically costs £18/h per hour.

Prices vary depending on several factors:

  • Your tutor's background and expertise (teaching credentials, 11+ specialism, proven results)
  • How selective the schools you are aiming for
  • How lessons are conducted (one-to-one, small group, online, or in-person)
  • How often and how long each session lasts

Many tutors offer package deals or sibling discounts, which can reduce the hourly rate over time.

🎯 What are the main components of the 11 Plus exam?

Most 11+ tests cover English comprehension, Maths problem-solving, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning.

  • English: Reading comprehension, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and sometimes creative writing.
  • Mathematics: Covers numerical operations, shape properties, data handling, and applied problem-solving.
  • 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.

Understanding the specific test format helps focus preparation on the right question types.

Our 11 plus tutors in Plymouth provide professional-level tuition that helps children develop their confidence and sharpen their skills through 11 plus sessions targeting their learning goals and requirements as students.

After signing up your child for private 11 plus sessions,  your highly experienced tutor will learn more about their learning goals and create an in-depth tuition plan covering all the key areas of the 11 plus exam for that year - including English, maths, verbal reasoning, and exam preparation.

Can Enrolling in Private Tutoring Sessions Help Students Score High Grades in the 11+?

How can enrolling your youngster in private tuition boost their chance of success? Well, first off, preparation works best when it's built steadily over a year or several months - not crammed in at the last minute. Expert 11 plus tutors can take them step by step through the key parts of the test, focusing on maths, English, and verbal reasoning and grammar skills that students need to learn to ace their exam.

Additionally, tutors will also help students get a better idea of the curriculum of the test by showing them past papers and setting mock exams designed to mimic the real deal. As a parent, you can rest assured that each and every session will be adapted to each learner, taking into account their specific strengths and weaknesses.

Unlike group sessions at school, where well-meaning teachers are forced to follow a set curriculum and rush pupils through subjects, a private tutor can easily walk a lesson back and focus on a particular area of the 11 plus curriculum, like verbal reasoning. By working together on a weekly basis, these lessons will also help your kids learn transferable skills that will be valuable for future academic success.

How Are Tutors on Superprof Verified?

Here on Superprof, finding the right tutor for your children is designed to be straightforward and reassuring. On our platform, every teacher is required to have a detailed online profile which outlines things like their qualifications, background in teaching in schools, and the subjects they cover (11 plus preparation, maths, science, English grammar, and more). To make sure everyone is on the same page, we also ask instructors to verify important details such as their ID, diplomas, and contact information when they join.

Alongside this, each profile is also home to a reviews system where school pupils and families can leave feedback after attending a lesson (always make sure to check this thoroughly before booking an in-person or online session). Likewise, it's also common practice for teachers to offer free trial lessons on our platform, which we recommend any parent use to vet and examine how a potential tutor teaches and communicates with their little one.

How Much Does 11 Plus Exam Tuition Cost in Plymouth?

Now comes the important part: how much do 11 plus lessons cost in Plymouth? Well, the price is very rarely set in stone, varying depending on factors like the teacher's level of experience, lesson format, and the duration of each session.

However, one-to-one lessons cost on average £18/h here on Superprof. Generally, top-rated instructors are likely to change more than those who are new to tutoring on our platform. As a result, getting a great bargain can come down to finding someone who offers both a strong background in teaching and who is new enough to offer a highly competitive hourly rate.

If you can't afford weekly in-person sessions at the moment, don't worry. Group and online options are also available on Superprof at a lower price point, giving your kids the same access to expert guidance without stretching your budget too thin.
