Testimonials

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.

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.

We are absolutely delighted that our son passed his Bucks 11+!

Rachel has been a great support throughout his 11+ preparation. Her lessons helped him develop his knowledge and understanding of the different question types, while highlighting areas where he needed extra practice.

He always enjoyed attending his lessons, and we're so pleased that all his hard work has paid off. We're incredibly proud of him and very grateful to Rachel for the time, effort and encouragement she gave him along the way.

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!

Rachel’s tuition has been incredibly supportive and effective. Her lessons are well structured, encouraging, and tailored to each child’s needs. She helped build both confidence and strong exam skills, and we’re very grateful for the progress achieved. I would highly recommend her to any family preparing for 11+ exams.

My daughter took the 2025, 11+ secondary transfer test and successfully sailed through. The process itself is demanding and requires extra effort from the child and support from parent. My daughter received tuition from Mrs Higgins at 11plus pass and started at year 4. Her older siblings also had tuition with Mrs Higgins and all passed. We are happy with the tuition and have recommended to friends too.

Gaby reacted very well to the classroom, plus online mix of work, with Rachel & Ella. Throughout her studies, Gaby remained positive about going to lessons and was very clear with what she was doing well on and where she needed more support.

Feedback was clear and useful, especially from mock exams.

We’ve now had both children pass their Transfer Test, having studied with 11 Plus Pass and highly recommend this to others.

My daughter started tuition with 11pluspass at the beginning of year 5. She loved going to the class from the first session. The class is in small size of four and one hour is a good duration for her to concentrate and not getting too tired. The feedback after each class is quick and clearly stated what areas she is good at and areas needs improving. She also attended holiday school and one to one session. The contents covered in all these session was clearly listed after each session so I know what she has been working on. Topic based practice books were also recommended by Rachel to help her to improve on her weak areas. I also found the mock exams are quite useful as they gave the feedback based on the current ranking and past years scores to give me an idea on what position she was on. She thoroughly enjoyed the learning journey with Rachel and the NVR sessions with Ella and we are so happy that she has now successfully passed the exam!

Rachel took my son into her class and tutored him weekly. Her classes are kept small which can only be a benefit in spreading her time and attention throughout the class. Rachel sent through updates back to us shortly after every class too so we could be kept apprised of our son’s progress and help him with his ‘Blue-book’ and online homework. He passed the STTS with a score of 131 which we believe is in no small part to Rachel and her tutoring.

The tuition my son received in the year prior to taking the 11+ test was invaluable to him passing. Rachel gave weekly lessons with the opportunity for crash courses and top up lessons as the big day approached. The homework reinforced her lessons, and there was regular feedback. She was friendly and encouraging, and my son genuinely enjoyed his sessions with her. She provided support by recommending additional study books and a reading list to work through. There was the opportunity to attend in-classroom mock exams which suited my son as the mocks at the ‘big school’ was too intimidating for him. It was a big commitment and hard work but he was successful in passing the test.

'It was a nice and friendly environment. It was also fun and it went by a lot quicker than school lessons, where an hour of tuition felt like it was only 15 minutes. Honestly, if I hadn't had the non-verbal reasoning sessions, I might have gotten a much lower mark on the test.
