What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Manchester families preparing children for grammar school and independent school entrance examinations describe tuition that covers English and maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, mock exams and essay writing workshops. Christopher is named repeatedly for the rapport he builds with pupils, for structuring learning programmes around individual needs and for filling gaps in knowledge before tests. Rifat receives consistent praise for patience, calmness and the encouragement she gives to children, particularly twins preparing together, while Ayesha is recognised for patient online maths teaching that addresses skills missed at school.

Jeremy is described as approachable and clear in his explanations, with pupils comfortable admitting when something is unclear. Several families mention communication that begins with the initial enquiry and continues through assessment and regular lessons, and one thing mentioned again and again is the confidence children gain before sitting exams, entering them relaxed and prepared. Reviewers also value the past papers supplied, the supportive handling of short-notice requests and the willingness of siblings to return for the same preparation, with outcomes including scholarships and out-of-catchment offers.

My son was tutored by two tutors in Eleven Plus Tutors in Manchester. Both of the tutors were very helpful during the time we prepared our son to sit for the 11+ entrance exam. In the earlier days we had Ayesha to do online tuition for my son. Ayesha is such a great tutor that she taught my son patiently with a lot of math knowledge that was missed out in school, taught him a lot of maths skills that are effective and accurate to solve problems. She assigned a lot of homework for my son to complete between lessons so to ensure my son could work on every task correctly. Nearer to the exam, we changed to an in person tutor Nafeesa, she was just perfect! She was well prepared for every tuition that well organised the time for teaching my son maths/vr/nvr/English accordingly. Assigned a lot of homeworks between lessons and go through the next lessons. She’ll summarise and explain to me after every lessons which part my son did well and what parts he needed to reinforce on. This process kept me and my son had a clear direction that what we needed to focus on. I’ll say my son was so lucky to have Nafeesa as his tutor before the entrance exam, my son excelled in the 11+ entrance exam and he has admitted to AGSB. I’m so grateful for the two tutors introduced by Chris of Eleven Plus Tutors. And the mock exams they arranged before the actual entrance exam that’s very helpful indeed. I would highly recommend the Eleven Plus Tutors In Manchester for preparation the 11+ entrance exam.

There aren’t enough compliments for Rifat and her exceptional teaching skills. Her patience, perseverance and her obvious passion for teaching have transformed our son. He was taught English and Maths and there has been a phenomenal improvement in our son. There were times when he surprised both of us with his ability to solve difficult mathematical challenges using the skills he had been taught. He passed all of the independent school exams and we cannot thank Rifat enough for everything she has done over the last year.

Rifat was really supportive in the lead up to my son’s exams. She has a lovely kind manner. She made sure he was prepared across the Texan scope and guided us on the areas he needed to focus on. My son passed both exams we put him in for

My son was tutored by Rifat leading up to the Trafford Exams and up until the independent school exams in January. Rifat has such a wonderful gift as a teacher, her positivity and praise was so integral to the success of my sons exam results. He exceeded beyond all expectations and that is largely due to the support and encouragement from Rifat. A total superstar teacher. We are very lucky to have found her.

Rifat has been an amazing tutor for our son, Zak. He got offers from all 3 schools he applied to and has accepted a place at MGS. 11+ tutors are very experienced at what they do and have helped my son gain entry into his top choice school and cannot thank them enough. We are so impressed with Rifat that she’s now working with our daughter. I cannot recommend them enough, thanks for everything.

We first approached Christopher in February/March this year. After an initial assessment, our daughter commenced weekly lessons with one of the tutors (Jeremy). Jeremy was very approachable, friendly and our daughter got on very well with him from the outset. Jeremy was very good at explaining things and when my daughter was uncertain, she never felt uncomfortable telling him that she did not understand. Jeremy provided lots of papers to assist my daughter in preparing for the 11 plus and even she has said that the mock test (arranged by them) was helpful as she definitely felt less nervous about the actual exam. We received our daughters results yesterday and we’re so pleased that she had passed and not only did she get the required score for the school we had hoped, she also gained a enough to be considered by Altrincham Grammar. We can’t thank Christopher and Jeremy enough for their help and support and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering putting their child in for the 11 plus :)
