The 11 plus institute has been absolutely brilliant in preparing my child for the 11 plus exam. Shelina's professionalism, approach and attention has ensured my child was supported and confident throughout the process and on the exam days. We chose The 11 plus institute after meeting Shelina, and hearing her honest feedback and observations of our child - we knew the support Shelina would give would be in their best interests, supporting them to not only be in the best position for the exam, but also to enable a positive mindset in studying and build self confidence beyond test day. One of the best parts of our journey was seeing how my little one would come out so happy after classes - pleased at their own pogress and feeling confident. Shelina has also guided me as a parent to support my child as best as possible - preparing for the 11 plus is daunting and overwhelming for families as you try to get the balance right, and Shelina has continued to be calming and insightful throughout. Highly recommend the 11 plus institute

Our son recently completed his 11+ lessons with Shelina, and I must say—she is a fantastic tutor. Shelina gives individual attention to each student, helping to identify their strengths and areas for improvement. She goes above and beyond to accommodate our specific needs and requirements, which is a rare quality in tutors these days. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent seeking that extra level of care and dedication in their child’s education—not just for the 11+, but for their ongoing academic journey. Thank you, Shelina, for bringing light and joy to the learning experience. We truly appreciate you.

My daughter enjoyed her learning experience for more than a year under Shelina in the 11+ institute. Small group of students in each batch, friendly environment, tailored focus on kids' learning needs, continued support and guidance helped us navigate through the arduous process of preparing for the 11+ exam. Definitely a wonderful institute backed by strong teaching, assignments and most importantly the mock exams held in schools giving the real feel of the exam process for students. For expats like us who did not have any background on grammar schools and 11+ exam preparation, this institute is no less than a boon.

I would highly recommend this institute to any parent who is looking for an 11+ tutor. My son loved all the lessons and the support we got as parents was amazing. Thanks for all your help and guidance.

The teacher is very passionate and very knowledgeable in 11plus practices. She is very calm and always looking to listen. Will definitely recommend it because my son also passed the exam.

About Us
At The 11 Plus Institute, we believe 11+ preparation is about more than passing an exam. Our aim is to develop confident, independent learners with strong reasoning, problem-solving and critical thinking skills that will benefit them throughout their education.
We specialise in Buckinghamshire GL 11+ preparation, offering small-group tuition with a maximum of six pupils per class. All lessons are delivered by a qualified, experienced teacher, ensuring every child receives individual attention, encouragement and challenge.
Our carefully structured programme combines engaging lessons, regular homework, progress assessments and mock examinations to build knowledge, confidence and exam technique.
Our Approach
We combine high expectations with a supportive and encouraging learning environment. Rather than simply teaching exam techniques, we focus on developing a genuine understanding of concepts and the confidence to tackle unfamiliar questions.
Through structured teaching, regular practice and personalised feedback, we help every child work towards their full potential.
