11+ Computer Science tutors
2 of 2 UK tutors teaching Computer Science at 11+.
Computer Science in the UK covers algorithms, data structures, computational thinking, programming (usually Python at GCSE, Python or Java at A-level), and theory — networks, architecture, databases, ethics. Tutoring most often unsticks two things: the move from 'I can code' to 'I can write pseudocode and trace algorithms on paper under exam conditions', and the theory papers, which reward precise definitions over intuition. AQA, OCR and Eduqas differ on programming language and on the NEA project. For A-level, the algorithmic complexity and recursion content is where tutors with degree-level CS background tend to add the most.
The 11+ is the entrance test for selective state grammar schools and many independent senior schools, sat in Year 6 (some independents sit it earlier). Tests vary by region: Kent, Bucks, Birmingham, Trafford, Lincolnshire, the Wirral and others differ on format and content, with GL Assessment, formerly CEM, ISEB Common Pre-Test, and bespoke school papers all in use. Most tests cover English, maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning in some combination. The verbal/non-verbal reasoning is the unfamiliar part — schools don't teach it. Tutoring helps most with format-specific past-paper practice; match the tutor to the actual test the child will sit.
