Common Entrance tutors

Common Entrance is the ISEB-administered exam taken at 11+ or 13+ for entry to senior independent schools, covering English, maths and science as core subjects plus, at 13+, humanities, religious studies, languages and Latin or Greek for scholarship streams. Different senior schools weight CE differently — some treat it as a near-formality after a successful pre-test, others as decisive. Tutoring helps most with the specific paper formats (which differ from GCSE-style assessment), with the breadth of the 13+ syllabus, and with the Latin and humanities papers where school provision varies. Look for tutors with explicit Common Entrance teaching or moderation experience.
