Why Choose
Marie Redmond Tuition?

At Marie Redmond Tuition, we help children excel academically while developing the skills and confidence they need for long‑term success. Our highly personal approach combines expert teaching, thoughtful resources, and genuine care, creating a calm, structured learning experience that helps every child thrive.

Valuing Every Child

Every child is valued for who they are, not just for their academic potential. As an independent provider, not a franchise, we offer a truly personalised approach, ensuring each pupil receives the attention, care, and guidance they need to thrive. Our courses are thoughtfully designed to support individual learning styles, and every lesson is taught by fully qualified, highly experienced primary teachers who specialise in 11+ preparation.

We understand how important it is for parents to feel supported throughout their child’s journey. Parents can speak directly with Marie whenever they need clarity or reassurance, and our size allows us to maintain that personal connection. This close partnership with parents ensures that every child receives tailored support, consistent communication, and a learning experience built around their wellbeing and progress.

Uncompromising on Quality, Because Your Child’s Future Matters

At Marie Redmond Tuition, we believe every child deserves expert teaching delivered by fully qualified, highly experienced primary teachers. True quality comes from the depth of knowledge, skill, and care that teachers bring to each lesson, not from décor or presentation, but from the expertise guiding your child every week.

We are committed to maintaining the highest standards in everything we do. Our lessons are carefully planned, our resources are purposefully designed, and our approach is rooted in a deep understanding of the 11+ curriculum and how children learn best. The 11+ is a significant milestone, and we ensure that every child is supported by professionals who know how to help them thrive.

Our long‑standing reputation has been built on consistency, excellence, and genuine care. Over the years, many tuition providers have appeared and disappeared, but our success endures because we focus on what truly matters: exceptional teaching, our exclusive Superbrain® resources, and personalised support that gives every child the strongest foundation for success.

A Comprehensive, Balanced Approach

At Marie Redmond Tuition, we take a balanced and thorough approach to 11+ preparation. Our courses cover the full syllabus in depth, ensuring pupils develop a secure understanding of every area of the exam. Alongside this, we teach the techniques and strategies that help children apply their knowledge confidently and effectively.

We go beyond simply showing pupils how to answer questions. Our lessons build the underlying skills, reasoning, and exam awareness that children need to perform at their best under real exam conditions. By combining strong subject knowledge with clear, structured technique teaching, we help pupils develop the confidence, resilience, and independence that make a genuine difference on exam day.

Exclusive Superbrain® Resources to Strengthen Learning

Our Marie Redmond’s Superbrain® resources are designed to give pupils a clear advantage in their 11+ preparation. Created exclusively by Marie Redmond Tuition, these materials build knowledge systematically and support children in developing strong verbal reasoning, English, and maths skills. Alongside our books, pupils benefit from engaging vocabulary flashcards that accelerate word learning and deepen understanding.

To ensure every child receives a well‑rounded preparation, we also use carefully selected published materials that complement our Superbrain® range. This balanced combination helps pupils strengthen their skills across all areas of the 11+ exam, including non‑verbal reasoning where required.

Superbrain® Skills Videos – Reinforce Learning Anytime, Anywhere

Term-time students now 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 a pupil wants to refresh a concept, practise a technique, or reinforce their knowledge before homework or revision, these videos offer flexible, accessible support that enhances their 11+ preparation.

Homework Tailored for Success

Homework plays an important role in reinforcing the skills taught in each lesson, and our approach is carefully balanced to support steady, meaningful progress. Because our lessons are longer than those offered by many tutors, pupils grasp key concepts in class — meaning homework can remain purposeful and manageable rather than excessive.

Tasks are set weekly, completed for the next lesson, and reviewed together, giving pupils the chance to consolidate their learning and address any challenges. Parents consistently tell us that the amount we provide feels just right: enough to build confidence and fluency without creating pressure or fatigue.

Every task is designed to strengthen understanding, encourage independence, and ensure pupils are fully prepared for the demands of the 11+ exam. We also encourage families to explore a wide range of fiction and non‑fiction books at home, helping to build the strong vocabulary and comprehension skills essential for success.

Dedicated to Supporting Our Community

We are committed to making a positive difference beyond the classroom. The Sir John Madejski Scholarship reflects our belief that every child should have the opportunity to thrive, regardless of circumstance. Through this initiative, we support pupils who show promise, dedication, and a strong desire to succeed, helping them access high‑quality 11+ preparation that can open doors for their future.

Our community work is an important part of who we are. By investing in opportunities for local children, we aim to nurture confidence, ambition, and a love of learning that extends far beyond the 11+ exam.

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.
