11 plus Tuition is very specific because the vast majority of the content for the exam is outside of the KS2 curriculum. Therefore those who are looking for an 11 plus tutor in York should ensure that the tutor is well equipped to provide the tuition. At York Private Tutors we have a number of 11 plus tutors in York and the surrounding towns and villages. Many of our 11 Plus tutors travel for no additional cost. We can provide your child with high quality, one-to-one 11 plus tuition which we believe gives them the best chance of passing the relevant exams. All of our 11 plus tutors are trained, DBS checked and have experience in tutoring specifically for the 11 plus. We monitor all feedback from parents and constantly try to improve the service we provide. This premium service is reflected in our pricing but we believe it is still very good value for money.
We often get asked if a certain child is 'right' for the 11 Plus and it is sometimes the case that they may not be suited to the revision process, in which case our 11+ tutor will highlight this as early as possible so that parents have the choice to discontinue tuition sooner rather than later if the chances of passing are slim. If you would like any further details on the 11 Plus service that York Private Tutors provides just contact us.

York 11 Plus FAQ's
Is my child right for the 11 Plus?
This is a very difficult question to answer, but one which we look to determine from the very first lesson. If your child starts 11 Plus tuition and is struggling with the material or just the general stress of preparing for the exam then our tutors will highlight this to you as early as possible. Whether or not to continue the tuition will always be left up to you as a parent but our tutors will be open and honest about how your child is progressing and whether or not they are coping well with the 11 Plus preparation.
How do I book an 11 Plus tutor in York?
Booking an 11 Plus tutor couldn't be simpler. Either drop an enquiry form in through the website or give us a ring. We will then arrange for one of our specialist 11 Plus tutors to get back in touch to arrange an initial assessment session.
When should my child start tuition for the 11 Plus?
When to start 11 Plus tuition is a common question. We advise starting in September or October of year 5 giving students 10-12 months of one to one specialist tuition for the 11 Plus entrance exams. More than 12 months and there seems to be no positive impact on pass success and less than 10 months and it doesn't leave enough time to cover the content and all the question types that can appear in the eleven plus exams. This is very dependant on the volume of lessons you have, but we have seen excellent results from student who have had 10-12 months of weekly lessons.
