Why choose 11 + tutoring?
The 11 + exam is a significant milestone for many children, opening doors to grammar schools and private education. However, the journey to success can be daunting without the right guidance. At Extra Ambition, we understand the challenges parents face in ensuring their child is well-prepared. Our 11 + tutoring services in Reading are designed to build confidence, enhance skills, and provide the structured support needed to excel. Whether your child is just starting their preparation or needs a final push, our tailored courses cater to every stage of the journey.

Tailored courses for every stage
Our 11 + tutoring programme is divided into three comprehensive courses, each tailored to the specific needs of children at different stages. The Year 3 course introduces Maths and Non-Verbal Reasoning gently, with regular testing and progress monitoring. For Year 4, we offer a more comprehensive approach, covering Maths, English, and Non-Verbal Reasoning, ensuring children are well-prepared for Year 5. Finally, the Year 5 course is a fully comprehensive programme, including mock tests, detailed reports, and mentoring to maximise success. With pass rates of 91% for Year 3, 89% for Year 4, and 84% for Year 5, our results speak for themselves.

" Embarking upon tuition for the 11 plus was a daunting experience. I commenced this process in 2014 for my son. I initially engaged the services of a large provider that dealt with high volume students. I later discovered Extra Ambition who conducted a detailed initial diagnostic of my son's abilities. Extra Ambition offered a personalised approach with small classroom sizes. My son scored within the top 5% of his cohort at Reading Boys and easily secured a place. I would not hesitate to recommend him and his unique, personalised approach. "
