11+ Engineering tutors

1 of 1 UK tutor teaching Engineering at 11+.

Engineering at school level appears as GCSE Engineering, A-level Engineering (Cambridge Technical and similar), and BTEC routes, often blending mechanical, electrical and systems content with substantial coursework. It overlaps heavily with Design Technology and Physics. Tutoring helps most with the maths-rich problem solving — statics, dynamics, thermodynamics — and with the structured write-ups examiners expect. For sixth-formers aiming at engineering degrees, the bigger lift is often supplementing with extra maths, mechanics, and admissions-test prep (PAT, ENGAA, MAT) rather than the school spec itself. Match the tutor to the route the student is on.

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.
