11 Plus Tutor Near Me: Expert Tuition Centres in Beckenham and Catford

If you are searching for an 11 plus tutor near you in South East London or Kent, there is a good chance Geek School Tutoring is closer than you think. We have two in-person tuition centres: one in Beckenham (BR3) serving families across Bromley and the surrounding boroughs, and one in Catford (SE13) serving families across Lewisham and South East London. Both centres also offer live online tuition for families who prefer to work from home.

Since 2013, more than 1,000 families have come to us for expert 11 Plus preparation in English, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, and creative writing. We have a 100% pass rate in Kent and Medway grammar schools. If you want an 11 plus tutor who knows the local grammar and independent schools in detail, we are the team to call.

Our 11 Plus Tuition Centres

Beckenham Centre (BR3)

60 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, BR3 4LS

Our Beckenham centre is our flagship location and has been serving families across the London Borough of Bromley and neighbouring areas since 2013. It is well served by public transport and has parking nearby. Sessions run in small groups of 4 to 6 children, with one-to-one tuition also available on request.

Families at our Beckenham centre are typically targeting grammar schools including St Olave’s, Newstead Wood, Wilson’s, Wallington, Beths, Bexley Grammar, Chislehurst and Sidcup, Townley, and Dartford Grammar, as well as independent schools including Dulwich College, Alleyn’s, James Allen Girls, Eltham College, Trinity, Whitgift, and Sevenoaks School.

Catford/Lewisham Centre (SE13)

44 Campshill Road, London, SE13 6QT

Our Catford centre is a short walk from Lewisham Hospital and around the corner from Lewisham Fire Station, making it easy to reach from across the borough and neighbouring areas. Like Beckenham, sessions run in small groups with flexible scheduling available for working families.

Families at our Catford centre are typically targeting grammar schools including St Olave’s, Beths Grammar, Bexley Grammar, and schools in the Medway and Kent selective system, as well as independent schools across South East London.

Areas We Serve

Between our two centres, we provide 11 plus tuition for families travelling from across South East London and into Kent. Families regularly come to us from:

We also regularly work with families in Dartford, Sevenoaks, and across Kent and Medway who attend our online sessions rather than travelling to a centre.

What to Expect from an 11 Plus Tutor at Geek School

Finding an 11 plus tutor near you is only the start. The tuition itself is what matters. Here is what makes Geek School different from a general private tutor:

• Small groups, not one-size-fits-all classes. Groups of 4 to 6 children mean your child gets seen and heard every session. We split groups when children need different levels of support on a topic.
• All four 11 Plus subjects under one roof. English comprehension, creative writing, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning: your child does not need separate tutors for each subject.
• Journalist-led creative writing. Our founder Joycellyn Akuffo has 20-plus years of experience writing for national media titles. She teaches children to write with the kind of flair that makes an 11 Plus creative writing answer stand out.
• School-specific preparation. We know the specific exam formats for local grammar and independent schools. We do not teach to a generic 11 Plus; we teach to the schools on your child’s list.
• Regular mock exams and detailed feedback. So you always know how your child is progressing, and so do they.
• Free assessment to start. No commitment to anything until you know exactly where your child stands and what they need.

What If There Is No Centre Near You?

Our online 11 plus tuition is live and interactive, not pre-recorded videos. Children work in small groups with a real tutor in real time, exactly as they would in one of our centres. Sessions are also recorded so children can review them between lessons.

Online tuition is popular with families in Kent, Surrey, East London, and further afield who want access to expert preparation without the commute. Results are just as strong: 89% of our online students secure places at their target grammar or independent school.

How to Book Your Free Assessment

Call us, WhatsApp us, or fill in our booking form. We will ask a few quick questions about your child’s year group and target schools, and find you an assessment slot. The assessment is free, takes around 45 minutes, and gives you a clear picture of where your child stands and what preparation they need. There is no obligation to continue.
