Testimonials
What our happy parents had to say about us
Sending my daughter for tuition at 11 Plus Wirral was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Wendy is a fantastic tutor; caring, encouraging and so supportive. It is clear she is so passionate about her teaching, and she works really hard to ensure all the sessions are fun and engaging for all the children. My daughter loved going each week and felt ready and prepared when the time came to sit her exams. Wendy goes above and beyond for all her families and is always on hand outside of sessions if you need to call her for additional support.
My daughter said “Wendy really wants to make a difference and tries her absolute best to make sure you go to the school you want to go to. She is kind and caring and gave me lots of confidence for the exam”.
We have highly recommended 11 Plus Wirral to all our family and friends and will continue to do so. We will be forever grateful for Wendy’s input into our school journey.

Both of my boys went to Wendy at 11 Plus Wirral to study for their 11 Plus exams. Wendy was friendly and approachable. Both boys enjoyed the sessions and found the work challenging, in a good way. The homework set was just enough and not too intrusive and enabled us to engage at home with what they were doing in class. They learned the content needed for all parts of the 11 plus exam and some hacks for answering questions that were a bit trickier. I would definitely recommend 11 Plus Wirral to anyone wanting their child to sit the 11 plus.

Wendy is so welcoming and nothing is too much to ask. If unsure you can easily contact at any time, and you will always receive a response. Also, during child’s session Wendy more than happy to help and reassure. Wendy has a very caring approach and my son enjoyed going to the sessions. Wendy supports the whole family through this process. Marking and feedback is valuable plus mock exams very beneficial and produced like the real thing. Can’t thank Wendy enough for the extra 1:1 sessions in her house over the summer to plug any gaps too.
Wendy also had published great 11+ materials with full explanation and answers to buy at a reasonable price, definitely recommend purchasing.
Would definitely recommend to other people looking for tutoring in fact we already have.

Wendy is an amazing tutor for Freddie! She has brought him in leaps and bounds! She spent a lot of her time and dedication tutoring him and did not charge more than usual for summer tuition on a 1-1 basis.
She is very patient and I’m very pleased to say that he passed both the St. Anselm’s and the 11+ exams.
Thanks very much, Wendy!

11 plus Wirral – Where do I start… Wendy and her team provide a 5 star service! (In my opinion the best)
Every lesson is structured with a breakdown of what the children have learnt.
The folders the children receive containing work completed and work set are just brilliant!
Excellent feedback from tutors regarding progress and what the children are working on.
Wendy provides a welcoming environment and my son massively benefitting from the small group sessions in Hoylake.
Thanks Wendy for guiding our son through both his 11+ and St Anselm’s exam!

My daughter started her 11plus tutoring for Wirral and Upton from yr 4 . Wendy has been very patient with her in teaching the different techniques. She has been so supportive throughout the journey. My daughter loved to go to her classes and do her homework without any prompt. She cleared the Wirral and Upton exams with a good score.
Tutoring has not only improved my daughter’s confidence and speed in working but also improved her knowledge and performance in Maths and English.
Thank you, Wendy, for understanding and supporting her throughout this journey. I would highly recommend Wendy for any children who needs that little extra help and support with getting the best out of them.🥰

I really cannot say enough good things about 11plus Wirral. I have experienced an extremely professional business but with a real kindness and care for the child and parent in every lesson. I have experienced other tutoring companies before coming to 11plus Wirral and these others really don’t measure up in comparison!
My daughter’s tutor, Emily, has gone above and beyond to help us. She spent her own time talking to us to understand my daughter. She has provided homework and personalised resources we need for our child to learn, and basically surpassed my expectations, as did the manager/owner, Wendy, who was so helpful and accommodating. So far, I have really seen my daughter really grow in confidence and she loves her lessons.

I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible impact you’ve had Yashesvi’s journey. The changes we’ve seen in her are truly inspiring, and it’s all thanks to your dedication, encouragement, and exceptional teaching.
Under your guidance, she has blossomed not only academically but also in confidence and enthusiasm. Your ability to make learning
engaging and accessible has allowed her to thrive, and reaching the top of her class is a testament to the hard work you’ve both put in. It’s clear that you’ve encouraged her love for learning and we can see her reaching new heights every day.
Thank you for believing in her, for pushing her to exceed her limits, and for being such a positive role model. You’ve made a lasting impact on her life, and we are incredibly grateful.

11 Plus Wirral is an exceptional tuition centre for exam preparation. Wendy’s commitment, dedication, and effort with students are truly admirable. Our daughter attended 11 Plus Wirral for about five months before the exam and learned so much. Her progress was steep, and she grew more confident each week. The mock exams (in-person) and printed test packs were incredibly helpful and made her to pace herself for different types of questions.
With Wendy’s capable and patient mentoring, our daughter successfully passed the Grammar exam. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide/ mentor for exam preparation. Thank you very much, Wendy and 11 Plus Wirral, for shaping our daughter’s future! Heartfelt gratitude!

We can’t recommend Wendy enough, our son loved his tutoring sessions. He’s done so well and that is all thanks to Wendy. I will definitely be sending my daughter to her when her time comes. She’s friendly, encouraging, and sees what the students need to improve. The mock papers are great too.

Lushani Serevirathna
We have been absolutely delighted with 11 Plus Wirral throughout the whole year that we have been with them. My son and I both instantly felt we had found an absolute gem in Gill, his tutor. She took the trouble to understand him and how he worked and what motivated him, and struck up a rapport with him very quickly. He came home after just a few sessions saying he much preferred it to learning in school! Gill was constantly vigilant in pinpointing the areas he most needed to concentrate on, but more importantly she took plenty of time to talk with us about his progress and attitude, and what we could do to support him between sessions.
When the council changed exam boards we were impressed at how quickly their teaching adapted to the shifting goalposts, but then when lockdown hit we were further amazed at how the whole team moved almost overnight to change the delivery of your service to online. We thought they all did a fantastic job in very difficult circumstances. My son felt relaxed going in on the day of the exam, knowing he was well prepared, which was exactly what we had been hoping for.
When it came to the last session with Gill we were genuinely sad to say goodbye, but hopefully she’ll be available to take on our daughter when the time comes. We cannot recommend her and the team too highly.
