About Geek School Tutoring
Founded by Joycellyn Akuffo, Professional Journalist & Education Expert
Geek School Tutoring has supported hundreds of children in securing places at their dream grammar and independent schools for more than 10 years, with many achieving scholarships.
I am a survivor of the 11 Plus exams, having passed and attended an independent school myself, and I am also the mother of two amazing children who have done likewise. Therefore, I have a holistic view of the process from all perspectives: the student, the parent and the tutor.
As a journalist with over two decades of experience working on top UK publications like Cosmopolitan, Glamour, and BBC Good Homes, I bring my professional writing expertise to our 11 Plus preparation writing courses.
Geek School Tutoring is build on my firsthand understanding of what your family is experiencing.
Our Success Record:
“Geek School Tutoring has helped hundreds of pupils gain places at top UK grammar and independent schools, often with scholarships. Our methods are proven, our results speak for themselves.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our 11 Plus preparation services.
When should my child start preparing for the 11 Plus?
Ideally, preparation should begin 12-18 months before the exam. This gives your child enough time to develop skills and confidence without feeling rushed. However, our resources can help at any stage of preparation.
Which services do you offer in-person vs. online?
We offer in-person tuition at our Beckenham and Lewisham centres in London. However, most of our specialised services, including the Creative Writing Crash Course, Classic Reading Club, and 11 Plus Interview courses, are available online to students worldwide.
How can I determine which resources my child needs most?
We recommend starting with our assessment service, which identifies your child’s strengths and areas for improvement. Alternatively, contact us directly and we’ll help you select the most appropriate resources based on your child’s current abilities and target schools.
Do you cater to both grammar and independent school preparation?
Yes! Our resources are designed to prepare students for both grammar and independent school entrance exams. We have specialized materials for different exam boards, including GL Assessment, SET, CSSE as well as for specific independent schools.
What makes Geek School Tutoring different from other providers?
Our founder is both a professional journalist and a parent who has successfully guided her own children through the 11 Plus process. We combine professional expertise with practical experience, and our decade-long track record of success speaks for itself. We also offer specialised resources for every aspect of the 11 Plus, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
