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 take pride in being an independent provider, ensuring a truly personalised approach. We are not a franchise—our courses are thoughtfully designed to meet each child’s individual needs. Lessons are taught by fully qualified, highly experienced primary teachers, experts in 11 Plus preparation.

At Marie Redmond Tuition, we understand the importance of feeling supported in your child’s learning journey. That’s why all parents have the opportunity to email or speak directly with Marie if they would like to discuss their child’s progress. Our size allows us to maintain that personal touch, ensuring families receive tailored guidance and support when they need it.

Choosing the right tuition provider is one of the most important decisions for your child’s future. Whilst some providers focus on appearances, we focus on expertise—because your child deserves the best.

Uncompromising on Quality—Because Your Child’s Future Matters

At Marie Redmond Tuition, we believe that every child deserves expert tuition—taught by fully qualified, highly experienced primary teachers who specialise in the 11+ curriculum. The foundation of success isn’t just about a well-designed space—it’s about the depth of knowledge, the expertise, and the commitment of the educators guiding each child.

Whilst some tuition providers focus on aesthetics, we focus on results, excellence, and real teaching expertise. We never compromise, because we know parents wouldn’t want their child’s future in the hands of an unqualified teacher—sometimes a teenager still in school, hired simply for having five GCSEs and working for low pay. The 11+ is a pivotal milestone—one that requires carefully planned teaching, exceptional resources, and guidance from professionals who truly understand primary education.

Marie Redmond Tuition has always been obsessive about delivering the highest standard of tuition. We have seen many tuition providers come and go, including those with well-presented high street or shopping centre locations. But our longevity and success come from our relentless focus on quality, our exclusive Superbrain® resources, and our personalised support that gives every child the best chance to excel.

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.

Exclusive Superbrain® Resources to Strengthen Learning

In addition to our tailored courses and expert teaching, we offer exclusive access to Marie Redmond’s Superbrain® resources—designed to supercharge every student's 11+ preparation. From comprehensive books covering verbal reasoning, English, and maths to interactive flashcards that accelerate vocabulary growth, these materials empower students with the knowledge and confidence to excel.

Beyond these invaluable resources, students also benefit from carefully selected published materials that deepen their understanding and refine their skills, ensuring thorough and well-rounded preparation for all aspects of the 11+ exam, including non-verbal reasoning where applicable.

Lesson Recap Videos – Reinforce Learning Anytime, Anywhere

Starting September 2025, students will have access to video explanations of the key techniques taught in each lesson. These videos are designed to:

 Reinforce learning – Helping students revisit essential concepts covered in class.

 Provide step-by-step guidance – Breaking down techniques in a clear, structured way.

 Support independent review – Allowing students to study at their own pace, whenever they need.

Whether your child wants to refresh their understanding, master tricky techniques, or solidify their knowledge, these videos offer an invaluable resource to build confidence and success in their 11+ preparation.

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.

Data-Led Approach With SuccessTrack® by Marie Redmond

In addition to weekly spelling tests, our term-time students undergo formal assessments twice per term—at half-term and at the end of the term—covering all topic areas. These assessments provide a valuable measure of progress over time, ensuring that we can track genuine improvements in attainment without being overly influenced by short-term fluctuations. Testing more frequently risks skewing results due to the occasional ‘off week,’ whereas our structured approach strikes the perfect balance between regular monitoring and meaningful insight.

Based on the initial assessment and your child's specific answers, we create a personalised tuition plan that sets individual targets for each subject area that is relevant to them, such as English, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning. Every lesson is designed to develop these areas. We continuously monitor progress, allowing us to refine tuition plans to ensure they suit your child's needs and challenges.

Parents are always welcome to contact us at any stage during their child's 11+ course for feedback on their development. They can speak with their child's teacher after lessons or contact Marie directly by phone or email for further insight. As a smaller provider, we take pride in our ability to offer tailored guidance and maintain a close, supportive relationship with families.

Students attending our Year 5 11+ Easter and 11+ summer holiday courses receive a Superbrain® English and verbal reasoning holiday course book for each week they attend, further reinforcing their skills. Plus, all term-time students receive Marie Redmond's Superbrain® 11 Plus Flash Cards upon joining—an interactive resource designed to supercharge their vocabulary and accelerate exam preparation.
