About the company

11 Plus Tutoring Plymouth is a private tutoring service founded by Anna Mitchell in Plymouth. Mitchell has been a primary school teacher for over 20 years and has tutored for the 11+ for almost 14 years. She runs small group 11 plus lessons from her home in Peverell, Plymouth, and works part-time in schools as a teacher and a tutor.

The service offers face-to-face and online small group tuition for 11+ exam preparation, including group lessons for children in Year 4 wanting to start 11+ preparation sooner. Mitchell does not carry out an 'initial assessment'.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Anna's eleven-plus classes in Plymouth run every day of the week, with sessions stretching into the early evening and slightly later on Wednesdays. Reviewers repeatedly describe a warm, nurturing approach that puts children at ease from their first session, with several parents saying their child looked forward to lessons and made friends within the group. A thread running through the feedback is honesty about a child's progress alongside encouragement, with reviewers noting that Anna gives clear feedback without adding unnecessary pressure.

More than one family mentions using small or group sessions rather than strictly one-to-one tuition, and several describe children passing the eleven-plus and securing places at their chosen grammar schools. Parents who used Anna for an older child returned for younger siblings, citing trust built over previous years.

The switch to online and hybrid sessions during periods when children could not attend in person is mentioned as having been handled smoothly. Reviewers also note that homework was set and managed online, which several parents found easier than paper-based systems. Across the feedback, the consistent picture is of a well-organised, encouraging eleven-plus tutor whose group sessions are credited with building both exam readiness and genuine enjoyment of learning among children preparing for grammar school entry.

We are delighted with our son's experience with Anna for 11+ tutoring. Right from the start, Anna was incredibly warm and welcoming, and my son quickly developed a trusting relationship with her. He always looked forward to his sessions and commented on how kind and understanding Anna is. Her nurturing environment has been the perfect setting for him to develop and grow his confidence. We believe this personal approach was crucial in bringing out the best in him, keeping his love of learning alive throughout the exam process. We are very grateful for her guidance and support. He also passed his 11+ so his hard work paid off!! Thank you.

Anna is a wonderful tutor, my daughter didn't want to take the 11+ but wanted some additional tutoring and Anna's sessions have really boosted her overall understanding and confidence, which has been noted by her school teacher. She looked forward to her weekly lessons, so much so, she wanted to do it again :) Would highly recommend!

Anna is a brilliant tutor, our son felt really comfortable with her from the start. She’s friendly and very welcoming. Not only did he learn a great deal with Anna, she made him feel confident for the exams. Weekly homework was set and Anna was always available to answer any of our questions. I would definitely recommend her.

We came to Anna as she was recommended by a friend. We needed a patient, kind and nurturing teacher & we found her! Our daughter didn’t miss a week, thoroughly enjoyed herself, homework was all on line which was so easy , no bits of paper to lose. Our daughter went into her 11+ feeling more confident than we had ever imagined. Thankyou Anna💕
