At SDE, we prioritise your child's success by offering a wide range of 11+ Courses and 11+ Mock Exams specifically designed for students preparing for the 11+ exam.
Our 11+ Courses cater to students in Year 4 and Year 5 at school, providing tailored preparation to suit their individual needs and age.
For students attending the SDE Year 5 11+ Course, we also offer 11+ Refresher Courses to help reinforce key concepts, targeted 11+ Workshops to address your child's weakest 11+ subject and a range of area and school-specific 11+ Mock Exams to build confidence and familiarity with the 11+ exam format.
In addition, we provide a variety of materials, available for use in class and for purchase through our Online Shop, ensuring that your child has access to the best resources for their 11+ preparation.
With SDE, you can be confident that your child is receiving the most comprehensive 11+ tuition available. We teach students the most efficient and effective method for approaching each 11+ question using techniques that have been carefully developed by Susan Daughtrey MEd. Our full Year 5 11+ Course curriculum covers all subject areas meticulously including English, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning, ensuring your child is thoroughly and effectively prepared.
We ensure that our highly qualified teachers are experienced subject area tutors by selecting only the very best who pass our rigorous selection process. Since 1987, we have crafted our own 11+ Course structure, lesson plans and materials that are of the highest possible standard. Our 11+ Mock Exams are regarded as market-leading and have an excellent reputation for being the closest in terms of content, timing, format, administration and level of difficulty compared to the real 11+ tests.
Furthermore, we utilise fully interactive Hybrid Classroom technology (remote attendance and interactive participation in classes through advanced audio-visual systems and classroom Smartboards) and, on all our term-time 11+ Courses, we offer weekly pre-recorded video tutorials that you can access from home covering all aspects of the lesson to ensure your child has the best chance of achieving excellence in the 11+ and beyond.
SDE's Year 4 11+ Foundation Courses (offered as 17, 30 or 36 weeks) which are followed by the Year 5 11+ Course (typically 34 weeks) are designed to thoroughly prepare your child for all aspects of the 11+ exam(s) they are studying for.
SDE's 11+ Mock Exams take place throughout the spring and summer. They are held in Exam Halls and are designed to emulate, as far as reasonably practicable, all aspects of the 11+ exam your child is preparing for, including the test style, format, content, level of difficulty, timing and administration.
Parents are drawn to SDE tutoring largely through positive word of mouth, here's why:
With over 37 years of experience in 11+ tutoring, we have mastered our own, proven techniques that will teach your child how to correctly and speedily approach 11+ English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non Verbal Reasoning questions.
We have spent many thousands of hours writing and refining the 11+ Course structure, lesson plans and materials taking into account all known requirements of the 11+ tests. All the material written for the SDE 11+ Course is unpublished and is therefore only available to students attending SDE classes. We also sell Susan's 11+ Verbal Reasoning and English books in our Online Shop. These materials are supplemented by a careful selection of other published 11+ textbooks that complement the SDE 11+ Courses and are provided as part of the SDE 11+ Course "package".
We prioritise individual attention by adopting a small group tuition format. Additionally, each Tutor is aided by a trained SDE Tuition Centre Assistant to help them with administrative matters, allowing the tutor to fully devote their attention to teaching your child. In Year 5, we also offer subject-centric 11+ Workshops to suit the specific needs of your child, focusing on their weakest 11+ subject.

My son was so happy to have his 11+ tutorial in SDE in last two years and finally passed the 11+exam. The tutors at SDE have much experience for the 11+, and the staff in SDE have always provided a nice service for the parents and students.
My daughter enjoyed the lessons and SDE catered to her needs well. Resources were quite useful and I would highly recommend parents to join SDE for preparing their children for 11+ exam.
