11+ Tuition with Proven Results

How can I help?

Are you considering a grammar school for your child?

Are you wondering if they are on track for 11+ success?

Give your child confidence to succeed with tailored tuition from an expert tutor!

About me:

I am Becky Corden, a fully qualified  teacher with over 20 years experience teaching children aged 4-16 in Kent Schools and other settings.

I gained leadership skills and expertise as a Maths Lead Teacher and Key Stage Leader alongside my class teaching roles.

Alongside my work as a teacher and  private tutor, I have also written and created resources for a range of publishers and learning platforms including:
  • Pearson UK
  • Atom Learning
  • Mangahigh.com
  • Edplace.com
  • Prime Press (Egypt)
  • Nagwa
  • Eleven Plus Exams

Private Tuition:

I am dedicated to ensuring that your child makes excellent progress and achieves their potential. I pride myself in helping children build skills and develop a resilient attitude to learning.

Every 1:1 session is tailor-built for your child, to ensure they make excellent and sustained progress, while gaining confidence along the way. 

Group sessions are designed to cover key skills required for the 11+ and build confidence with exam technique in a non pressured but effective manner.

I specialise in tuition for the Kent Test and 11+. I also work with Key Stage 3 and 4 students for Maths up to GCSE foundation level.

Learning format:

Weekly 1:1 tuition for 11+/Maths and my 11+ preparation groups take place via Zoom using Bitpaper online classroom software. I pride myself on providing high quality online sessions that are engaging, interactive and enable the child to fully participate. 

Revision courses and mock exams take place in the school holidays and are run face to face near Hildenborough, Kent.

I am a member of The Tutors' Association and am fully DBS checked on the update service. I am also insured for private tuition and tutoring from home.

My Results 

 
Every year I am proud to help many students in their 11+ journey.

Before beginning your 11+ journey with me, I will assess your child and plan to enhance their strengths and help them gain knowledge and confidence in their weaker areas to ensure they are as 'exam ready' as possible. 

Unlike some other tutors, I don't 'pre-select' and only take on students who are definitely able to pass. I assess children before they start tuition so I can give advice about whether 11+ is an appropriate goal and will only offer tuition if I feel it is in the child's best interests.

You can see my results below. You'll notice that these vary year by year according to the cohort. 
More importantly, my 11+ predictions are correct almost every time and I pride myself with being open and honest about likely outcomes with parents throughout the tuition journey.

Emma & Carl, Hildenborough

Becky provided additional 11+ tutoring for our son (2016-2017), specifically in Maths because he was struggling. There was a significant improvement in his confidence, approach and ability which was noted by his teacher at a parent’s evening. We are pleased to say he passed the 11+, and to our surprise Maths was his highest scoring area. On a personal level Becky made the tutoring sessions enjoyable. Our son always looked forward to them.

Mr and Mrs M, and our daughter A.

Rebecca provided a very positive learning environment which my daughter thrived in. Her positive attitude and wealth of teaching expertise helped my daughter to become very confident in areas where she was already good, but more importantly she gave my daughter confidence and developed her knowledge in those areas where she was not as strong or that were completely new.  

Mrs A, Sevenoaks.

_______

My daughter really enjoyed her sessions with Becky and she developed so much more confidence, in her English especially. Whatever the outcome of the test, we knew that the work Becky had done with her would prove invaluable in her future learning. The revision and mock courses were hugely beneficial in preparing her for what would happen on the actual day. My daughter was thrilled to pass and to know that she will be able to go on to study at the school she wants. We are grateful to Becky for her support and help. 

Mrs G, Tonbridge

I am very happy to be able to confirm that he enjoyed your lessons and was always motivated and enthusiastic.
With your help, he passed the test with a good score and was offered a place at his first choice of school.

Mrs H, Edenbridge

‘Mrs Corden’s 11+ tutoring with our son to improve his self confidence in areas where he needed improvement was particularly impactful and motivated him to progress during the assignments and past papers that she selected.  We highly recommend her services.’ 

Mr T, Tonbridge

Becky has been an amazing tutor for our child over the last few years. Attending her sessions was always a treat and never a chore. Becky has achieved that rare feat of making learning fun; as a result, our son has gone from strength to strength, improving his knowledge, ability and confidence. 
We can't thank you enough for helping him achieve his goal of passing the Kent Test (11+) and getting into the secondary school that he wanted.

Mr & Mrs Duesbury

We’re so grateful to Becky for her 11+ tuition: she’s an amazing teacher and our son thrived with her help. 
Her patience and whole positive attitude to learning kept him grounded and serene, and I do believe that made a big difference to how he experienced the test. 
She always showed empathy and was unfailingly helpful – I recommend her without hesitation. 

An 11 plus parent

Becky was fully booked but managed to fit my daughter in for ad hoc sessions, afternoons, eves, holidays. Each session was so well planned and delivered, including homework. 

No stone was left unturned, Becky went through Maths, Reasoning, English and spatial in detail, spending extra time on weaker areas. 

Becky is knowledgeable, kind and caring putting 100 percent in to each session. Thankyou so much Becky. 

Mrs James

Becky was a fabulous tutor for our daughter. She very quickly identified her area of weakness and worked not just on improving this but also building her overall confidence so that by the end of her time with Becky she was enjoying the subject at school too.

She made learning a lot of fun and our daughter looked forward to her lessons. We felt very lucky to have benefited from Becky’s expertise. She is a lovely lady.

Mrs S, Hildenborough

Becky was invaluable in helping us navigate the 11+ selection process with the result of our daughter being offered a place at her first choice of grammar school.
She planned each lesson so that it was tailor-made for our daughter's needs and gave us really useful advice about how to support preparation at home. We were really impressed by how impactful the online lessons were - so convenient too!
Our daughter attended 1:1 sessions and also the mock exams and revision sessions. All very worthwhile and thoughtfully planned.

Mr P, Sevenoaks

Rebecca supported my two sons with online lessons while we lived abroad and also once we had moved back to the UK.
She ensured they were up to date with the UK curriculum and able to hit the ground running when we returned to the UK to prepare for the Kent Test. 
Both boys are now thriving at grammar school, thanks to the guidance and individual support provided by Rebecca. Thank you so much!

An 11+ parent, Tonbridge

My son thoroughly enjoyed online tuition with Becky. No mean feat when tackling exam preparation! We were especially pleased with his progress in Maths, which had been his weakest subject at Christmas.
He successfully passed the Kent Test and will be attending his first choice of grammar school. Thank you for the guidance and support along the way, Becky!

Mrs S, Tunbridge Wells

Our daughter was struggling with completing 11+ preparation at home. Tuition with Rebecca meant the process became a lot less stressful and more productive. We attended weekly throughout the year with extra sessions in the holidays and were so pleased with her progress. The online sessions were really convenient for our family and so interactive!
She is now looking forward to attending our local grammar school thanks to Rebecca's help.
