Is your child taking the 11+ exam?

Then allow an expert to guide you. I have a solid track record of supporting young learners in obtaining the scores they need to enter their preferred schools. I can give you dedicated support throughout your child’s 11+ journey with expert private tuition. I have successfully supported students gaining entry into top UK independent schools, including Eton College, St Paul’s, Winchester College, Harrow, Tonbridge, Sevenoaks and more.

Some of my publications.

Happy students.

"Philip is an excellent teacher and always enthusiastic and caring. He was able to identify my weaknesses and draw up a good plan to develop my learning and understanding. He helped me improve my grades. He was very patient and always kind. Thank you Philip."

"Philip has been teaching my children for about a year. He is dedicated, punctual and helped improve my daughters' grades significantly. He is a fantastic teacher and comes to the level of each student. I highly recommend him."

"Fantastic tutor. Trustworthy, professional and very knowledgeable. My daughter took Philip's poetry comprehension course and one of the poems ended up coming up on the interview. She learned a huge amount from him in a short space of time and I doubt should would have been able to pass without Philip's help. Will definitely be calling Philip again when our son is ready for 11+."

Verity M.
"Philip taught my son writing skills in preparation for the Tonbridge writing exam. About a month after he started tuition we started to notice a significant improvement in his grades and feedback from school. He went from 56% to 85% within two terms on his English writing. As a result I am pleased to say my son got an acceptance from Tonbridge. Thank you Philip. Your techniques and calm, friendly manner helped my son to reach his goals. Highly recommended."

Philip taught our daughter Maths and non-verbal reasoning in preparation for ISEB pretest. Philip has a very friendly, patient manner and was able to guide my daughter through the material with ease. He always took great care to explain everything. I really felt that Philip cared about my daughter's progress and was always willing to go the extra mile to ensure my daughter's understood the material. In the end, we got offers from all the schools we applied for and so were very happy with the results. Thank you Philip.
