"I just wanted to say thank you & share a quick note to let you know that you guys (Philip & Laura) do a really good job. My daughter enjoyed every single one of the tuition, test & mocks. She was confident she will pass the 11+ Exam and SHE did! She passed Medway, Gloucestershire & Bexley! I’m glad we decided to sign up with 11Plustutoringacademy….."
Mrs T. Gloucestershire
"I remember little over a year ago when I brought my daughter to 11plustutoringacademy in Bristol for a tester class, as she sat in the car after the class, she sobbed as she could not keep up with the rest of the class. I explained to her that the rest of the class, most anyway, have already been in the class for a year and that they were ready for the exam in about a month's time. Whereas she would be writing the exam the following year and that if she joined the class she could get to the same level or better!
Today I bask in the glory of my decision :) to convince her to continue with the class, now that she has ranked within 150 of all the 4 schools we shared her result with: Pate, Stroud, Crypt and Denmark. 11plustutoringacademy has proven me right and I am ever so grateful!"
Mrs I. Gloucestershire

Mock Exams - 2014
"Thank you for the recent mock exam. It was really well organised and professional yet not too intimidating for the children. It was great practice for our son and a great way for us to get a feel for how he is doing. The report you put together was excellent too, thank you.
My son's feedback was that you explained things really well and all the exam tips were very helpful."

Many thanks for all your help. My son said that he really enjoyed you teaching him."

1 to 1 Tuition for the Gloucestershire 2015 11 Plus Exam
"Hi, I'm a new student and I really enjoyed my first session of tuition.

Ms G, Gloucestershire
Feedback from CEM 11 Plus Exam 2014- September 2014
"Thank you very much for all of your help! My daughter felt confident going into the exam and came out with a massive smile on her face! We couldn't have asked for more.
Thank you once again. We would like to wish you well for the future."
Mrs H, Gloucestershire
"My daughter was not nervous at all on Saturday (at her 11 plus exam) which was a huge benefit and I am sure it is because of the tuition and stepping out of her comfort zone with the weekly sessions. As I mentioned before my daughter is not competing for a grammar school place but I felt the experience and extra tuition will only help her for her Independent school exams in January.
Thank you again for your help and support."
Mrs R, Gloucestershire
"I would like to say a big thank you for letting my daughter take some of your mock tests. They were a really good learning experience for her and certainly had a positive impact on her approach and calm manner last Saturday."
Mrs B, Gloucestershire

Grammar School Places Announced - 3rd March 2014
"We are very pleased to find out that my daughter has been offered a place at the Aylesbury girls school!
She has also recently been offered the opportunity to take the scholarship entrance exam at her school for a reduction in school fees (its only been offered to 3 girls in my daughter's school year!) as she scored the highest mark in her year in a recent maths exam, so it will give us something to think about!
So all in all its been well worth all the hard work she put in & for the great help she had from Philip!"

11 + Mock exam course for CEM 2013
"We are very happy with the structure of learning, which has been well researched & focused. We are particularly happy with the fact that there is no time wasted with marking and instead of a computer generated explanation you get a detailed explanation by a tutor. This has now given us something to focus on to ensure understanding on the weaker areas. We are very pleased."
Mrs M. G, Buckinghamshire
"The course has been excellent - we joined at a late stage but it's definitely helped to improve confidence and skills."
Mrs V. W. Buckinghamshire
