Passing the 11+ is often a prerequisite for gaining a place at the country’s best schools, including many in London. Despite the intense pressure and high stakes placed on children, the national pass rate ranges between 3-30%.
However, those who enlist the help of Tavistock Tutors will see their chances skyrocket. Our 11+ team is led by Emily, a tutor with 5 years’ experience and a 100% pass rate at the 11+ common entrance level.
All our tutors adhere to the same rigorous standards. Their first-class academic record, experience, and willingness to go the extra mile is the perfect recipe to ensure your child passes their 11+ exams with flying colours.
I will first identify how you study best, whether it is visually, aurally, kinetically, or logically – because knowing that will allow me to customize our classes to suit you. For example, if you’re a kinetic learner, we will build models together. And if you’re an aural learner, then we’ll burst into a song every now and then (it’s shown...
My job as a tutor is to ensure that my students are understanding and engaging with material, and enjoying their learning! So often, schools are unable to provide an individualised approach to learning, as they are required to follow a strict curriculum to prepare for exams. I think that it’s really important that we work together to ensure that sessions...

I strongly hold that before any progress can be made, the tutee must realise that they are not alone. Getting to know my tutees - what drives and inspires them when they are at their most relaxed - is integral to enabling them to become motivated learners. It is my role to be there to encourage each step of the...

I encourage the student to do the majority of talking, and create an atmosphere in which they feel comfortable asking questions at any point. More often than not, the student - through...

Where knowledge needs to be gained, I emphasise the key learning points and review exam-type questions early on with the student. Where skills need to be gained, I adopt the ‘see...
It is my firm belief that a teaching relationship is a partnership between tutor and student. If either end of the partnership is disengaged, it is futile to expect meaningful progress. My aim with any student is to quickly establish a working relationship, understand what they want to achieve from the process, and set reasonable goals to drive this. Naturally,...
I believe tuition should be holistic and designed around a student's individual needs and expectations. As a current student, I have a unique understanding of the requirements of my pupils.

I try as much as possible to use real world examples and context in both Science and Maths to help pupils to engage with complex concepts. I often use creative tasks and modelling alongside exam question practice, to develop pupils' retention of key topics. I always emphasise the benefits of good revision and exam techniques and use constant questioning to ensure...
