Welcome

Since 2004 11 Plus Pass have been providing quality independent 11+ tuition to students in and around Milton Keynes.

Our tuition sessions are designed and run by Rachel Higgins who is a highly qualified teacher who has been teaching for more than two decades.

Sessions typically run for one hour. They run Monday to Friday after school and Saturday throughout the day. All weekly sessions consist of small groups, with one-to-one slots available for these students over the summer months. The small group sessions run throughout most school holidays.

Normally you would book your child in for one session per week in the months leading up to the exam. An initial assessment is recommended before starting 11-plus tuition.

During the school holidays we also run intensive Holiday Schools which consist of five one-hour sessions held over one week. Holiday Schools cover all aspects of the Buckinghamshire 11-plus exam.

Unlike many other 11-Plus tutors we don't charge extra for materials used in the lessons.

What people are saying about us ...

We are thrilled that our son has passed the 11+ transfer test. Rachel’s systematic approach to building not only his skills/knowledge but also his exam technique secured this result. He enjoyed his classes and really valued the occasional one-to-one sessions which focussed on weaker areas. We would recommend the Mock Tests to anyone wondering how their child is progressing. The feed-back Rachel gave afterwards was invaluable for knowing which areas to target. We will definitely be asking Rachel to tutor our younger child.

We are very grateful to Rachel for all her help and support throughout our son’s 11+ preparation. She is a patient, dedicated and encouraging tutor, and we really appreciate all the time and effort she has put into helping him. Thank you so much, Rachel!

My son joined 11 Plus Pass in September 2025 and successfully passed his 11 plus exam which took place in September 2026. Rachel has helped him improve his weak areas and strengthen his strong areas for 11 plus exam requirements. We appreciate Rachel’s contribution in preparation of my son’s 11 plus exam and would recommend 11 Plus Pass to anyone who wanted to prepare for grammar school entry test.
