11+ Maths tutors in London

7 of 7 UK tutors teaching Maths at 11+ in London.

Maths runs the full distance in the UK curriculum — from Year 1 number bonds through GCSE problem-solving to A-level Pure, Mechanics and Statistics. Tutoring helps most at the friction points: the jump from arithmetic to algebra around Year 6/7, the pace and breadth of GCSE coverage, and the technique-led applied papers at A-level. Spec choice matters — Edexcel, AQA, OCR and MEI diverge enough on Mechanics, Statistics and Decision content that exam-paper familiarity is part of the job. For 11+ and 13+ prep, look for tutors who know the local test format (GL, CEM, ISEB, or bespoke school papers).

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.

London has the deepest UK tutoring market by a wide margin — the highest density of tutors, the broadest specialism range (from Year 6 SATs to Oxbridge admissions, UCAT, STEP, IB, IGCSE), and the strongest premium-tier supply. Demand is high across all levels and exam boards; prices run 20-40% above national averages.
