We couldn’t recommend Test Teach more! All the staff are friendly, approachable, professional and most of all, they make learning fun so our son wanted to go to his class every week! We are absolutely over the moon that our son received a place at his top choice of grammar school. Thank you Test Teach, this was only possible as a result of his time with you!
Saturday 11+ classes in Sutton and Kingston. First lesson free.
Two hours every Saturday with qualified secondary school teachers, a mock exam every month, and a report that shows you exactly what to work on next.
- No entry test, every child is welcome
- Nothing to pay until they start
- £55 a week, paid weekly, stop whenever you like
Here's how the free lesson works
1. Pick a centre and a Saturday time
Tell us your child's year group and which of our Saturday slots suits you. It takes a minute.
2. Your child tries a real class, for free
Two hours, Maths then English, with the same teachers, student mentor and classmates they'd have every week. You drop them off and pick them up, so it's their verdict that counts.
3. We call you the week after
If your child wants to carry on, they start the next Saturday and we set up weekly payments on that call. If not, no problem and nothing to pay. Either way, their place stays open until you've told us.

If the 11+ feels like a maze, you're not alone
These are the things parents tell us worried them most before they found us.
"No one knows what the exam actually looks like."
There are no official past papers, the format can change, and your child gets one go at it.
"There's too much out there. I didn't know where to start."
Books, apps, tutors, forums. Every option comes with a different opinion about what matters.
"I can't teach it myself."
You don't know the methods, English might not be your first language, and your child won't sit still for you anyway.
"I don't want to be the pushy parent."
You want your child to be ready, without it taking over family life or putting them off learning.
Our course is the map
Since 2008 we’ve taken thousands of children in Sutton and Kingston through the 11+. We know what the local exams ask, what to cover in which month, and what a child who’s ready looks like in March, June and September. You don’t need to work any of that out. You need to get your child here on a Saturday.
Not in reach of Sutton or Kingston? The same course by post, with the same videos: 11+ Online.
Taught, not just tested
Every Saturday is two proper lessons, not two hours of sitting papers. A specialist teacher for Maths, a different one for English, and a student mentor in the room the whole time.
Saturday start times: Sutton 09:15, 09:30, 10:30, 10:45, 11:45, 12:00, 13:00, 13:15, 14:15 and 14:30; Kingston 09:30, 10:45, 12:00, 13:15 and 14:30. Which ones run depends on the year group, and we’ll go through them with you.
Here’s the shape of a 09:30 class.
09:30Maths
The teacher takes one topic the school won’t reach before the exam and teaches it properly on the board, worked examples first. Then the class tries it on paper: worded, multi-step questions like the coat that’s 15% off an already reduced price. Anyone who gets stuck gets help there and then from the mentor, not next week.
10:25Break
Ten minutes of snacks and friends. Ask the children what they like most about Saturdays and this is what they say.
10:35English
A separate English specialist. Comprehension, cloze, spelling and grammar, and the writing tasks most children have never practised. Writing comes back marked the week after.
11:30Home
Three papers with answer sheets: both classwork papers and the homework. Every question has its own video on our website, so when your child gets stuck at the kitchen table a teacher explains it, not you. And at the door, the mentor tells you how the lesson went.

Then we show you exactly where your child stands
You won’t have to guess how it’s going. Every fourth Saturday your child sits a full Maths and English test under exam conditions, and the following week you see where they rank, question by question, and which mistakes to fix first. We asked parents how useful that turned out to be.
1:30
The class report
The chart ranks the whole class from the highest score to the lowest, and shows every question each child got right, wrong or left blank, with how the cohort did on each one. Boys are compared with boys and girls with girls, because that’s who they’ll be ranked against on the day.
Every child is anonymous. On the chart each child is a number, and your child’s row is highlighted only on your copy. You see exactly where your child stands, and nobody else knows their scores.
Worth knowing before the first report
Our papers are harder than the real thing, on purpose
Add 20 to 30% to a Test Teach score to see roughly where your child sits against the real exam: 60% with us is about 80 to 90% on the day. We tell you this on day one so a tough first report reads as a starting point, not a verdict.
We asked former students how close our papers were to the real exam.
1:16
Your child's own analysis
The second sheet is just for your child. It lists every question they got wrong, ranked by how many children got it right, with a link to the video solution for each one. So the first thing to fix is the easy mistake, not the hardest question.
Why the easy mistakes come first
From 30% to 50% on our tests is the difference between no chance and a real one
On our own results, a child who moves from 30% to 50% on our tests goes from roughly no chance in the real exam to roughly a 60% chance. That’s what the ranked list is for: the quickest marks are the easy questions they missed, and the videos show them how.

Your child's writing, marked properly
The 11+ isn’t only multiple choice. Both the SET and Tiffin second rounds ask for extended writing, and most children have never had a piece marked the way an examiner marks it. This is what a marked piece looks like.
Writing tasks come round regularly as homework and in test weeks. Every piece is marked against our assessment checklist and returned the week after. The video for every writing task walks through the planning, then compares a high-scoring and a low-scoring answer line by line, so the feedback makes sense at the kitchen table too.
See it for yourself. The first lesson is free.

Real teachers, and role models your child will actually listen to
Every class has a qualified teacher at the front and a student mentor alongside the children. Both matter.
The teachers
All qualified teachers with at least two years’ teaching experience in a secondary or prep school, and a separate specialist for Maths and for English. Every one of them taught a supervised demonstration lesson before we hired them.
The student mentors
Sixth-formers and students from the grammar and independent schools your child is aiming for. They all sat the 11+, they all passed, and they’re the people your child will want to impress. They’re also your point of contact before and after every lesson: if something didn’t click, ask them to go over it.
Meet a team
Every class is looked after by a team: a Maths teacher, an English teacher, a team leader and student mentors, with a centre director over all of them. Here’s one of ours, and what our former students say it’s like to learn from them.

Saturdays only, and we work around your Saturdays
Classes run from 09:15 to 16:30 every Saturday, so there’s a slot before or after football, swimming or the party.
- A one-off clash? Call us and swap to another time that week if it has space.
- Missed a Saturday? The work goes in the post first class on Monday morning, so nobody falls behind.
- Year 5 runs from mid-September to the exams the following September. Year 4 runs from January to August. We run through half terms and most holidays.
- Real classrooms. Both centres are in secondary schools, the same setting your child will sit the exam in.
