9+ weekly preparation classes for children preparing for the 9+ exams running all year round. Children are free to join us at any time throughout the year, with spaces available for children Year 2 and above.
Our 9 Plus Preparation Programme provides structured, age-appropriate teaching across all areas commonly assessed in 9+ entrance exams, including maths, creative writing, comprehension, verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, as well as exam practice and interview preparation.
We prepare children for independent school entrance exams in London and the surrounding counties, with a strong track record of supporting families through the process. To date, we have helped over 900 pupils, including preparation for schools such as Dulwich College, Alleyn’s and King’s College School, as well as many others.
We recognise that the 9+ is a competitive assessment and that outcomes depend on factors such as when preparation begins, a child’s individual strengths, and the level of competition. For this reason, pupils are assessed on an ongoing basis, allowing us to provide honest, professional feedback on progress and suitability.
After an initial period of tuition (typically 4–8 weeks, depending on age and level), we can give parents clear guidance on strengths, areas for development and whether continued preparation is appropriate. We only recommend ongoing tuition where it is in the child’s best interests and where we believe meaningful progress can be made.
Students receive a 2.5-hour lesson every Saturday. Each session is split into two parts:
Classes are small, with a maximum ratio of 7 students per tutor, ensuring focused and effective learning. Managing tutors are highly competent and have over 10 years of entrance exam experience. All classwork, homework, assessments, mock exams and online practice materials are included.
As a summary, students receive:
Free trial and assessments are available for all new students.

Our 9 Plus Preparation Programme is suitable for pupils in Year 2 through to Year 4. Children are placed into small groups according to both year group and ability, ensuring teaching is appropriately paced and targeted to individual needs.
The Year 2 and Year 3 programme focuses on building strong foundations across all four assessed areas: maths, English, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning. Pupils are taught key problem-solving techniques and gradually introduced to exam skills such as timing, question approach and early mock-style practice.
Advanced vocabulary development and creative writing are introduced within group sessions to encourage discussion and collaborative learning. This approach allows children to develop their writing skills within a supportive and engaging environment, while also learning from their peers.
The Year 4 programme is designed to consolidate and refine knowledge across the full 9+ syllabus. At this stage, there is a stronger emphasis on exam practice, accuracy and proficiency, alongside interview preparation, which is an important component of many independent school 9+ assessments. Pupils are also taught how to apply efficient exam techniques to maximise marks.
Classes run throughout the year, and children may join at any stage, as the programme is designed to cover the full syllabus on a rolling basis. However, starting earlier allows pupils more time to develop skills gradually and practise confidently.
We have personally helped students gain acceptance into schools such as:

“My daughter was really happy to study in the 11plus London, she learnt a lots and make friends there, at the end she still missing the place.
My friend recommended this centre to us, because I’m afraid to trying any place without recommendations, sometimes just waste money and time. But we got the right place to study. Really appreciate all the teachers, its group lessons but the teachers treat everyone children likes individual lessons, they helped each student to correct the home work, and the topics cover everything and give more work which your child the weak topic.
Too much wants to tell, they caring every children leaning in the centre and really helps a lot. And really surprising is my child love there and never complain about study that means she really enjoys study there. This is the happiest things we thought about it.
Hope this message could help the parents and children find the right place to learn.”

I couldn’t be happier with the tutoring service provided by 11 Plus London. From the outset, they demonstrated professionalism and a deep understanding of the 11 Plus curriculum.

With their guidance, my child excelled in the exams, achieving outstanding results. I highly recommend their services for anyone seeking top-notch 11 Plus preparation. Five stars without hesitation!”

“Highly recommended. I researched a lot of tutoring options from 1-1 to group lessons and found this one to be the best for my 2 sons. One prepared for 7+ and got offered places at our both choices – Highgate and UCS. Other one is still preparing for 11+ so results are yet to be out, but progress already demonstrated in his improved performance at school. Many places are very transactional, but we felt Jane and team really cared and persoanlly involved in the journey. Many thanks!”

“My son was struggling in English, particularly creative writing. We had tried a few other classes and got 1-2-1 tuition from some friends. Someone recommended 11 Plus London to us so we gave it a go and we are very happy we did. He now enjoys creative writing and he has managed to get a place into City of London Boys and Westminster. Thank you for your support and for helping him improve in English.”

“Outstanding Tutor! Jane and 11Plus have been an indispensable partner in helping our daughter prepare for her 11+ exams. Jane started with an assessment of our daughters level and developed a tailored learning journey starting from the summer and all the way to the interview process. Our daughter received offers from G&L and City thanks to Jane’s top class coaching and guidance. We could not have done it without her and would recommend her highly!”
