Specialist 11 Plus preparation for grammar and independent school entry. Small groups, experienced teachers, proven results — from Year 3 through to exam day.
The 11 Plus is a competitive exam. Children sitting it are not just racing against time — they're competing against other well-prepared students. At Ark Tuition, we give children in Ilford and East London the structured, expert preparation they need to succeed.
Our programmes cover all four 11 Plus subjects: English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning. We use past papers, exam-focused materials, and proven teaching methods developed over years of 11 Plus preparation.
From Year 3 foundations right through to intensive pre-exam preparation. Every programme is designed to meet children where they are.
