Welcome to Marie Redmond Tuition

Our qualified primary teachers deliver exceptional courses, designed to bring out the best in every student. We provide 11+ term-time courses, 11+ intensive holiday courses, 11+ mock exams, and exclusive Marie Redmond's Superbrain® resources.

Why Choose
Marie Redmond Tuition?

At Marie Redmond Tuition, we are committed to helping children excel academically and develop the skills they need for a lifetime of success. As an independent provider, we deliver a highly personal approach that combines exceptional teaching, care, and results-driven expertise.

Valuing Every Child

Every child is valued for who they are, not just their academic potential. We are not a franchise and we do not franchise our services-our courses are uniquely crafted to meet your child’s needs. Lessons are taught by fully qualified, highly experienced primary teachers, experts in 11 Plus preparation.

A Comprehensive, Balanced Approach

Unlike approaches that focus solely on teaching students how to answer questions, we ensure a balanced and comprehensive approach. Our courses not only cover the full syllabus, ensuring students fully understand all areas of the 11+ curriculum, but also thoroughly teach pupils the techniques required to tackle exam questions effectively. In addition, we go further-training them in essential exam techniques that empower them to excel under real exam conditions. By mastering both the content of the syllabus and the strategies for success, students build the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed not just to succeed in the exam but to manage the pressures and challenges it presents.

Homework Tailored for Success

Too little homework can leave students underprepared, whilst too much can lead to homework resistance, stress, and disengagement. The vast majority of parents say that Marie Redmond Tuition provide just the right amount of homework-carefully calibrated to meet students’ needs and prepare them thoroughly for the 11 Plus exams. Each task is purposeful, ensuring pupils work hard and make consistent progress whilst minimising unnecessary stress. Our balanced approach ensures that homework remains a valuable, manageable, and productive part of each pupil’s learning journey.

Dedicated to Supporting Our Community

We’re dedicated to empowering children to thrive. The Sir John Madejski Scholarship reflects our commitment to creating opportunities and making a difference in our community.

How We Support Your Child

At Marie Redmond Tuition, your child’s safety and well-being are at the heart of everything we do. As an Ofsted-registered provider, we adhere to the highest standards of care and all teachers undergo enhanced DBS checks. We go above and beyond to create a secure, nurturing environment where your child can thrive with confidence.

Exclusive Extras to Enrich Learning

At Marie Redmond Tuition, we’re passionate about helping children grow into confident, capable learners. Exclusively available to our term-time students, these additional offerings are thoughtfully designed to enhance 11+ preparation in a way that is engaging, enjoyable, and rewarding.

My child joined Marie Redmond in the summer term after her previous tuition company went bust. I had already been very unhappy with the standard of everything I could see there but was doubting my judgement as a first-time 11+ tuition parent. As soon as we moved to Marie Redmond it was very clear I had been correct. I have been unbelievably impressed with the teacher (Jacqueline), the coursework, the company specific workbooks and content and also now enjoy marking her work myself as I'm much more aware of what and how she's doing. I think above all else I have been impressed with the excellent level of professionalism they have shown us weekly through emails and texts. They are regular, accurate, timely and to the point yet full of the detailed information we need as busy working parents. I'm delighted we found Marie Redmond tuition in time.[From Google Review.

Data-Led Approach With SuccessTrack® by Marie Redmond

Our term time students are assessed twice during each term – at half term and at the end of term. Based on the outcome of their initial assessment, we will create a tuition plan that sets their individual targets for each area they are preparing for (e.g. verbal, non-verbal and numerical reasoning). All lessons throughout the course are then designed to develop these areas. We continually monitor our student’s progress; this means that we can check they’ve achieved their individual targets and revise their tuition plan to ensure that it suits their needs and challenges. Parents are always welcome to get in touch with us at any time during your child’s tuition, to gain feedback on their development.

SuccessTrack® by Marie Redmond is our unique data-led service that allows parents to:

Track their child’s progress over the Year 4 and 5 term time courses – our charts visualise a students’ performance in each area of the 11 Plus, using data from our regular assessments (2 per term).
See their child’s overall score and how that compares to our recommended pass mark for each exam they are planning to sit.
View anonymously how their child’s scores compare (for each topic area and at a total level) to the average of all children in their cohort.
View their child’s termly tuition plan, created using data from their assessments.
Read the end of term student report from their child’s teacher.

Feedback from parents

I’m glad Safa’s overall score is good. Safa enjoyed the course and found this to be very useful. Safa continues to undertake her summer homework which is very helpful. She received her prize this week. Thank you. I would like to thank Anne for her help and support during Year 4. Safa enjoyed being taught by Anne both in class and virtual settings. During lockdown, the school’s online sessions did not even come close to the high standard of Anne’s classes. There was such a big difference with lessons starting promptly, lessons covering a variety of topics & games and one to one support going over questions and homework. It was definitely motivating and a positive learning experience. Safa looks forward to her Year 5 tuition.

Thanks very much Marie for your excellent management of the situation this last term. Chloe’s school haven’t been great regarding home learning, and having her tuition work to continue with has provided much needed structure in her efforts to continue learning. While we’re very keen to get Chloe back into the classroom lessons, the zoom calls have been a well run and efficient substitute while this was impossible.

Ruby has worked very hard over the past few months on her 11+, she managed her own 11+ learning around her school homework and was led by her motivation towards completing homework prior to her classes with Anne. I shared with her your expectation of 70%+ pass mark and I think she went for it! Please say a huge thanks to Anne from me as Ruby thoroughly enjoyed her summer course! Ruby also received an excellent end of year report from school, so we are mega proud of her! Also, the prizes really help! They seem to be the most important thing in Ruby’s life at the moment!Many Thanks!

Please pass on our thanks to Laura for tutoring Arjan before Lockdown and Sinead during lockdown. Arjan enjoyed the face to face lessons at the time anyway, and made rapid progress. But the virtual lessons in particular were very much appreciated. We recognise that this was a new way of working for your staff as well, but Sinead was very calm and reassuring throughout the process, and we really value her support of Arjan during this time. He was a little reticent about getting involved at first because Sinead and the other children were all new to him. Thanks to Sinead's efforts and insistence on involving everyone, he's really grown in confidence and is now fully engaging with the lessons.

We were so pleased with her efforts throughout and just wanted to say thank you because the tuition was really fun and she developed so much during the year of tuition! She learned to manage her workload and seems to be more of an active learner now whereas she has previously struggled with confidence and has been quite quiet at school, but she seems to have really come out of herself now! We know that she will do well wherever she goes and is more prepared for secondary school as a result of this last year with you so thank you!
Year 5 parent, Gerrards Cross (2017)
I really appreciate getting data like this – it’s extremely useful and good to see that he is tracking well so far. He is actually really enjoying the lessons, more than I thought he would so the teacher is clearly doing a great job. The homework regime is also proving really helpful in terms of structuring the time I spend with him and understanding more directly where his strengths and weaknesses are.

We are pleased to learn of Joshua's continued progress in his eleven plus studies. We know that he has enjoyed the new teaching format and being challenged. Please pass on our thanks to Sinead. We know that it has been a difficult time in terms of having to change your delivery model at short notice but we appreciate you doing this.
Year 5 parent, Slough (2020)
I just wanted to drop you a note to say how impressed I am with both Sinead and Laura. They’re both such engaging teachers and Anaiya is really enjoying her sessions. This is coming from a girl who can quite often be reluctant to sit down and focus when it comes to academic studies. Both Sinead and Laura are so good teaching online, I wish I could show my daughter’s school your methods of teaching online.

Thank you so much for all your support over the last 2 years. I cannot fault you. Anne has been amazing, the resources were brilliant and the Superbrain books especially. We will always be grateful for how much you helped Harry and will always recommend you highly![From Google Review.

I am so pleased that we took the time to make the right and best choice in choosing you for his tutoring. It’s was a big decision for me as you know his school gives a great deal of daily homework and I needed to make sure most importantly he is in an environment where is happy and looks forward to coming to each week – I believe this will aid to his success. I am delighted that Anne has made this possible with her professionalism and engagement with him in his first lesson. I was overwhelmed that he came out smiling and happy in-fact he was quite eager to go home and finish all his homework -which also surprised my husband!

My son, Reuben, travelled over from Australia to sit the 11+ this September. He was enrolled on your summer course. Reuben said it was a fantastic course and that he found it very helpful. Reuben passed his 11+ and achieved a mark of 133. Just wanted to share this with you and thank your staff for a very helpful study course.
