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.”

“My daughter is in school and I am trying to find a tutor, but it's not easy. All the tutors are expensive and have long waiting lists. Then I found Pass 11 Plus Grammar. They're good at what they do, so my daughter has finally found a tutor who doesn't charge an arm or a leg and still offers the best quality service on offer.”
