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. Unlike larger, corporate-style organisations, we take pride in being an independent provider, ensuring a truly personalised approach. We are not a franchise, nor do we franchise our services—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 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.

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.

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

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 their child's 11+ course, to gain feedback on their development. They can speak with their teacher after the lesson, or speak directly with Marie. Our size allows us to maintain that personal touch, ensuring families receive tailored guidance and support when they need it.

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.

Alongside Marie Redmond’s Superbrain® resources, students gain access to meticulously selected published materials, designed to further refine their skills. This ensures a comprehensive and well-balanced preparation across all areas of the 11+ exam, including non-verbal reasoning where applicable.
