Experienced tutors to help your child excel in their 11 Plus English exams.
Why Choose Dukes Plus for 11 Plus English Tutoring?
Our tuition services are delivered by Dukes Tutoring, a fully managed tutoring service run by caring teachers with over 20 years’ experience.
A strong performance in the 11 Plus is what stands between your child and the senior school of their choice – and, for many children, the English exam is the most challenging component. A lot of students struggle to develop the skills and confidence needed to excel in comprehension and creative writing, especially when getting ready for competitive school entrance.
Our 11 Plus English tutors are highly experienced at preparing children for these assessments. They know what the top schools are looking for and the common pitfalls which children encounter. They are experts at simplifying complex topics, and by incorporating interactive exercises and plenty of practice papers, they make learning both effective and enjoyable.
We have a 98% success rate at 11 Plus, including all the leading senior schools in London and the wider UK. With our expert tuition, your child will receive targeted support in their areas for improvement, growing rapidly in confidence and ability.
Book a free consultation today to get matched with the ideal 11 Plus English tutor for your child.
Our 11 Plus English tutoring is designed to equip your child with the skills and confidence they need to excel in competitive school entrance exams. We ensure every student receives the support they require to succeed:
Our programme covers all aspects of the 11 Plus English exam, including comprehension, grammar, creative writing, and vocabulary. Tutors help students analyse texts effectively, craft interesting and well-structured pieces of writing, and develop a strong command of the English language.
We understand that every child learns differently. Our 11 Plus English tutors create customised lesson plans that target your child’s specific strengths and areas for improvement, ensuring progress is quick and sustained.
Practice makes perfect, and our tutors provide regular opportunities for students to complete practice papers and mock exams. This helps familiarise them with the exam format and builds the confidence needed for success on the day.
Many capable students underperform at 11 Plus due to poor exam technique. Our tutors share practical strategies for tackling challenging questions, improving time management, and impressing the school admissions teams, giving your child a competitive edge.
We prioritise creating a supportive and encouraging atmosphere where your child feels comfortable asking questions, taking risks, and developing their skills. Our tutors foster a love of learning that lasts beyond the exam.

Entrance Exam Preparation
I have over 25 years of teaching experience in schools from EYFS – Year 7, and as an 11+ tutor. Previous students have successfully been offered places at: Henrietta Barnett, QE Boys, Latymer, City of London School for Boys, Haberdashers Girls, Highgate, Channing, South Hampstead, Francis Holland, Belmont, Queens College and Emanuel.
For 30 years I worked as a class teacher, mainly in North London, but also in the North West of England. Over the years I have taught all year groups from Reception to Year 6 .
I enjoy the experience of working with students at their personal level of achievement, rather than teaching to the average within a mixed-ability class. Being a tutor allows me to be a true educator.
Test your skills with our 11 Plus quizzes covering the English and verbal reasoning components of the syllabus. Our 11 Plus Maths and non-verbal reasoning quizzes are available here.
Preparing for the 11 Plus English exam is a challenging process, and many parents wonder whether additional support is necessary. In fact, there are many reasons why an expert tutor can help your child stand out to schools.
The 11 Plus English exam can be overwhelming, especially for students applying to competitive schools or unfamiliar with rigorous assessments. An 11 Plus English tutor ensures that your child’s preparation is tailored to their unique needs. With 1-1 tuition, they will receive targeted support focused on their areas of weakness, enabling them to make rapid progress.
Tutors also help build exam confidence through regular practice papers, mock tests, and targeted feedback. A good tutor will be familiar with the requirements of your target schools and will help your child develop the skills needed to impress the admissions teams.
If you want your child to reach their full potential and secure a place at a leading school, working with an experienced 11 Plus English tutor can make a significant difference, ensuring their preparation is effective, efficient, and stress-free.
Testimonials
Sarah
Customer
The 11 Plus English exam is a key component of the entrance process for many independent and grammar schools in the UK. It typically tests comprehension, creative writing, grammar, and vocabulary, assessing a student’s ability to understand and interpret texts, write compellingly, and demonstrate a strong grasp of the English language.
An experienced tutor provides tailored support, focusing on areas where your child needs improvement. Whether it’s analysing comprehension passages, improving creative writing skills, or mastering grammar, a tutor can help your child develop their abilities and achieve success.
Yes, our 11 Plus English tutors are well-versed in the formats and requirements of the top schools’ exams. They adapt their teaching to align with the specific expectations of your target schools, ensuring your child is fully prepared for the challenges they will face.
We have successfully prepared children for entry to all the leading senior schools in London and the UK. This includes (but is not limited to): Highgate, St Paul’s, City of London, JAGS, Dulwich College, UCS, QE Boys, Latymer, Haberdashers Girls, Haberdashers Boys, Channing, Emanuel, South Hampstead, Henrietta Barnett, Francis Holland, Belmont, and Queens College.
Tutoring sessions are all tailored to your child’s unique requirements. They might cover comprehension techniques, writing strategies, or grammar and vocabulary exercises. Lessons are interactive and engaging, often including practice papers to build exam confidence and improve performance.
We offer both online and in-person tutoring options, providing flexibility to suit your family’s schedule and preferences. Our online sessions are accessible worldwide, while in-person 11 Plus English tutoring is available in London.
