11 Plus Guided Courses

11 Plus Guided Courses fall between using books and using a Tutor (either a Private Tutor or a Tuition Group). 11 Plus Guided Courses provide a full structured package of work split into weekly segments for you to do at home, coupled with help and advice of a tutor by e-mail. We recommend Lessons In The Post, who we believe to be the best supplier of 11 Plus Guided Courses.

11 Plus Structured Courses, on the other hand, provide the same structured package of work with full explanations and answers, but without the additional tutor support. The more streamlined service offered by a Structured Course means that it is often available for a fraction of the price. To learn more, see our 11 Plus Structured Courses page, or go directly to our recommended supplier Learning Street.

What do 11 Plus Guided Courses typically provide?

• A clear, straightforward and easy to understand plan to bring your child up to the desired standard.
