I highly recommend Sutton Tutorials. My son attained an excellent score in his 11+ grammar school exam after completing the final year programme of study provided by Sutton Tutorials.
He was initially nervous about going to any classes anywhere but immediately felt at ease after meeting Richard.
He found every session interesting and enjoyable; always talking about something new he had learned, and always smiling, too.
The weekly homework had the right amount of challenge for him and the mock exams were simply excellent preparation for the real thing. The detailed analysis and feedback received after each mock was incredibly useful in determining what his strengths and weaknesses were.
I saw his confidence grow immensely over the course of the year. I cannot recommend Richard and the team enough.
Thank you, Sutton Tutorials!

EXCELLENT Based on 74 reviews Posted on Nithy Raj16 November 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Richard and his father are both excellent tutors. My daughter found the weekly sessions focused and interactive. The weekly homework keeps kids engaged in learning. All 11 Plus topics are covered in the tutorials, with learning followed by weekly tests. The Sutton Tutorial mock tests are key and reflect the real 11 Plus exam pattern. I highly recommend Sutton tutorials for 11 plus exam preparation and success.Posted on Abz4 November 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic 11plus results received due to the tuition being provided by Richard at Sutton Tutorials. They also, provide mock exams which very closely reflect the real exams with detailed feedback. Would recommend for anyone wanting to send their child for 11plus tuitionPosted on Iwona Wojtyla30 October 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t be happier with the 11 Plus tutoring my child received! The tutors were knowledgeable, patient, and really understood how to bring out the best in each student. My child said the lesson atmosphere was great and he loved learning with Katy. Thanks to their excellent support and guidance, my child passed the 11 Plus with flying colours. I highly recommend this tutoring service to any parent looking for top-quality preparation and caring, effective teaching.Posted on A Jamil20 October 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter has been having lessons with Richard for a few years and has always enjoyed them. The sessions are well-paced, engaging, with a healthy dose of competition. Thanks to his excellent teaching, she achieved a great score in her exam and has secured a place at her first choice of grammar school. Richard has always been approachable and quick to respond to any queries. Homework was manageable and helped to reinforce what was covered in lessons. My daughter always looked forward to her class each week. If a lesson couldn’t be attended, Richard was very flexible and allowed us to swap to another session in the week when there was availability, which was really helpful. The mock exams were of very high quality, and the feedback provided was much more detailed and helpful than other mock providers we tried. This allowed us to identify and focus on weaker areas. We’re very grateful for all the support and would highly recommend Sutton tutorials!Posted on Gemma Lennon20 October 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Richard at Sutton Tutorials for 11+ tutoring. My daughter attended throughout year 5, and the course was very well structured, steadily building her knowledge and confidence in a supportive and encouraging environment. She also took part in their mock exams, which proved to be an extremely valuable addition in helping her prepare for the 11+ exam. Thank you Richard.Posted on lucy makin18 October 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our daughter started lessons in year 4 and has just received an excellent score in the 11+ exam. We did no extra work other than what she did with Richard and Mr Thorsby and we were happy that there was not excessive amounts of work to complete throughout the week. She really enjoyed the lessons themselves and had lots of fun as both Richard and Mr Thorsby are not intense and are kind and encouraging rather than adding to pressure and anxiety. We believe this is why she did so well! I would definitely recommend trying to do a couple of the mock exams. Exam technique plays a big part and she actually never did particularly well on them but Richard checked her paper specifically and it transpired that she had been filling out the answer sheets incorrectly-they really do go the extra mile. Even if she hadn’t have got the result we hoped for the process was so brilliant as it has built confidence, resilience and commitment to learning. Thank you so much to everyone within the Sutton Tutorials team!Posted on Shana Janan17 October 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional Tutor Richard We cannot recommend Richard highly enough. Choosing his 11+ classes was, without a doubt, the single best decision we made for our daughter's preparation. His support led directly to truly transformative results. Our daughter achieved a very high score in her 11+, securing the strong foundation we had hoped for. More significantly, Richard’s teaching was absolutely instrumental in navigating the highly rigorous and competitive entrance process for the Henrietta Barnett School (HBS), one of the top girls' grammar schools in the country. She successfully passed Stage 1 of the HBS exam. To fully appreciate the magnitude of this achievement, Stage 1 involved over 7,000 applicants, with only the top 300 candidates progressing. We credit Richard's outstanding teaching skills and focused preparation entirely for this success. Beyond the academic outcomes, what truly sets Richard apart is the incredible rapport he built with our daughter. She genuinely loved his sessions, which is evidenced by her commitment: she missed only one lesson and collected the work in two full years of classes. This dedication comes from a teacher who makes learning engaging and effective. For anyone who wants their child to achieve good marks in the 11+ and navigate highly competitive grammar school entry, Richard is highly recommended.Posted on Juan “爱美神” cheng17 October 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My absolutely love Richard ‘s tutoring he said he is funny and kind and very patient and professional as result My son got a good score in the 11 plus .reality appreciate highly recommendPosted on Andrew Millington17 October 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Sutton Tutorials to prepare our daughter for her 11+. We started in year 4 I think although you may be able to start in year 3 and we cannot recommend them enough. Our daughter was already very clever and a very confident mathematician, but her comprehension and vocabulary needed work and when it came to verbal and non verbal reasoning you may as well have been speaking in riddles, it was totally new to her. Richard was her tutor throughout and she warmed to him instantly. Richard was approachable, very informative to us as parents and really helped guide Leila through her tuition journey without her feeling the pressure of the exam that was to come. Weekly homework was given to complete and towards the end of our time using ST they released a daily test “app” with daily tests to help keep your child’s knowledge sharp (extra fee applied for that). Mock exams are very useful (extra fees apply) and help the children understand where they are in regards to passing the 11+. Terms and conditions are more than fair for missed lessons, fees are reasonable, conditions for the children doing their lessons are good and parking, while on a residential street, was never a problem (as long as parents parked considerately and didn’t hang around for the duration of their child’s lesson). All in all, our daughter got a very good score in her 11+ exam. We always knew she was capable of it, Richard told us as much the day she started at ST and while she worked hard, she’d wouldn’t have gotten a result quite like she did without the help of Sutton Tutorials. We were totally satisfied with the journey our daughter went through, even before the 11+ had been taken. Don’t see it as a means to pass the 11+, see it as a way to help give your child a step up in their education wherever they go to school.
