Success Stories

I have a lot of fun in Sir’s tuition. I have learnt a lot and so has my older sister. My older sister is in Sir’s Secondary GCSE Preparation class. Now when I am stuck on my homework, she helps me. Sir is really funny but sometimes strict. He is just so funny, like when he pretends and makes funny sounds.

I’m in love with Pass 11 Plus Grammar. The tutors are amazing, they offer the best customer service, and they are extremely passionate about what they do. I have been using them for a month now and learn something new every single day. It’s the best company out there when it comes to tutoring kids because they offer personalised attention at a reasonable price.

Namita Student

To be honest, it was quite an ordeal to find a tutoring service I can trust. My son is dyslexic and has severe learning difficulties, so finding the right tutor is difficult. But I found this amazing service called Pass 11 Plus Grammar that has been amazing for my child... he loves his tutor very much and is making huge progress!

Rekha Parent

I hired Pass 11 Plus Grammar as a tutor to help my daughter prepare for her 11+ exams. The tutors were very dedicated and gave her all the support she needed to pass with flying colours. They also provided an online platform where we could communicate during lessons to make sure she was understanding everything that was happening.
