11+ Tuition in Dulwich
Focused 11+ tuition in Dulwich for families preparing for entry to the area's sought-after independent and grammar schools. We build each child's preparation around the exams they are actually sitting.
Our tutors cover the full 11+ syllabus — English, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning — alongside interview and mock-exam practice, in person across South-East London or online from home.
With a structured plan, weekly progress tracking and an 81% 11+ success rate, the aim is a confident, well-prepared child on exam day rather than a crammed one.
Preparing for Dulwich's entrance exams
Dulwich is home to some of London's best-known schools, and competition for places is real. We prepare pupils for 11+ entry to schools such as Dulwich College, Alleyn's School and James Allen's Girls' School (JAGS), as well as selective state and grammar schools across South-East London.
Because each school sets its papers differently, we shape preparation around your child's target schools rather than a generic checklist — the right balance of English, maths, reasoning and, where needed, interview practice.
What 11+ preparation covers
A complete 11+ programme builds the underlying skills and the exam technique together. Our tutors work through the core areas and rehearse them under timed conditions so the format holds no surprises.
- English: comprehension, vocabulary and writing
- Maths: fluency, problem solving and worked method
- Verbal and non-verbal reasoning
- Timed mock exams and past-paper practice
- Interview preparation where a school requires it
Bespoke plans and weekly progress
After an initial assessment, your child follows a bespoke plan pitched at the right level and pace. Weekly progress tracking shows you what has been covered and where the focus turns next, so the months before the exam stay calm and well-organised.
Lessons run one-to-one for fully tailored preparation, or in small groups where children gain from working alongside peers.
Specialist 11+ tutors, in person or online
Every tutor is DBS-checked and experienced with the 11+. In-person lessons can be arranged across Dulwich and South-East London, including East Dulwich, West Dulwich, Herne Hill, Forest Hill and Camberwell, while online tuition keeps preparation going wherever you are.
We also prepare younger children for 7+ entry and older pupils for 13+, and we can advise on school selection and admissions if you are still deciding where to apply.
Starting your child's 11+ preparation
The first step is an initial assessment, which tells us where your child is strong and where to concentrate. It lasts one hour and costs £40 online or £50 in person, free to reserve, with payment taken only once our team has confirmed your slot.
To plan the timeline together, call 020 3672 4754 or email info@weteachacademy.co.uk. Starting early gives the most room to build skills steadily.
