At Prepwell, we offer both 1:1 tuition and small group sessions, delivered online or in person to suit each child’s needs. We believe every learner benefits from a tailored approach, and that’s why our primary focus is on 1:1 tuition—creating a personal, focused environment that nurtures progress and confidence.

Small group sessions are also available for children who enjoy learning alongside others and find energy and inspiration in shared experiences. Whether in a group or one-to-one, our structured lessons introduce new content and strategies clearly and effectively. This is followed by targeted home-learning activities to reinforce and consolidate understanding.

Preparing for the 11+ is about more than just an hour of teaching each week. It’s about blending expert guidance with independent practice, and at Prepwell, we ensure every child gets the support they need—whether they learn best on their own or alongside peers.

Our program is 1 year long. We begin our sessions in September and work through until the following August. Whilst there are a number of break weeks planned into the year (for example at Christmas and Easter and Summer), we have 44 weeks of regular weekly sessions. We will also provide planned intensive events both at Easter and in the Summer Holidays. For more information about those, please don't hesitate to speak with Josh.

Yes! The nature of the Prepwell program is that we are constantly revisiting previous concepts in order to consolidate them. This means that we can definitely accommodate children who begin their preparation slightly later. If we feel that there isn't enough time for your child to get enough out of the program, then we will always be very transparent about that.

Absolutley not!

At Prepwell, we welcome children from Year 3 upwards, with a tailored approach that adapts to their individual needs and learning pace. While we’re open to supporting any child who wants to prepare for the 11+ journey, we especially highlight the benefits of starting in Year 4.

Why start early? Children who begin their 11+ preparation in Year 4 gain a gentle, gradual introduction to key concepts and exam strategies. This gives them time to develop confidence, build solid foundations, and reduce stress in the final year of preparation.

Whether your child is in Year 3, 4, or 5, Prepwell offers 1:1 online or in-person tuition, as well as small group sessions where suitable. Our carefully designed program blends expert teaching with independent practice, ensuring every child is fully supported throughout their journey.

Short answer - no!

The 11+ tests are very difficult by design and are challenging for the vast majority of children. There is simply no way of guaranteeing that any child will pass, even taking into consideration a good preparation.

What we can guarantee though is that we will give your child the very best chance possible to pass. We do this by ensuring that they are comprehensively exposed to all aspects of the test and that they are given ample and regular opportunities to practise those concepts.

Having been involved with the preparation of in excess of one-hundred children for the test, it is impossible to say exactly what percentage of these passed. However what can be said with confidence is that many did pass and that all children were prepared to the very best of their ability.

For many children, the format and style of the 11+ test is completely foreign. The questions asked and the concepts covered are unlike anything they have encountered at school.

In order to address this, one of the fundamental principals of the Prepwell program is that all content is presented from day one, in a style and format reminiscent of the test. In this way, we can ensure that all children will develop a familiarity with these question types, which inevitably leads to less anxiety and a higher chance of successful completion.

We call this aspect of the program 'Immersive Content', because just as when learning a new language, the greatest progress takes place when you are surrounded by it.

Our sessions not only include the cost of the 90 minute face-to-face sessions, but the comprehensive program of home-learning that is offered to all children in addition. Our rates are competitively priced and reflect the rates of many local tutors and tuition companies.

Please don't hesitate to call for more information.
