Beaconsfield 11 Plus Tuition Courses

Feedback From Parents

• Thank you very much for her mock exam results. The results were encouraging and she enjoyed the 11 plus summer course with Sarah last week.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2018)

• Thank you to you and to Anne for everything this year; whatever the outcome will be we're proud of our boy for applying himself and are grateful for Anne's patience and hard work with the group. It has been good training for future tests.

  Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2019)

• She passed which she was very happy about, as were we! Many thanks to you and to Sarah for all the tutoring.

  Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2021)

• William is settling nicely in year 6. We’re delighted that he passed his 11+ with a fantastically high score! Thanks for your support and I hope we’ll be as successful with our daughter.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2016)

• Kaiya enjoyed her lesson and is looking forward to going again on Wednesday, which is good.

  Year 4 parent, Beaconsfield (2016)

• Please pass on a huge thank you to Sarah H. Our son passed comfortably. We've had a very positive experience with MR Tuition (our older son was tutored by Anne a few years ago with a remarkably similar result). Thank you to you and Craig as well for keeping it all so smooth. Best wishes for the future.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2022)

• The tuition really helped our son to develop the skills and knowledge required for the 11plus. The weekly sessions kept him focused and interested for the whole of year 5.

  Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2020)

• She passed the 11+ exam with a score of 138. She’s really looking forward to joining her sister at Beaconsfield High School next year. Our thanks to you and her tutors for helping her achieve this.

  Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2019)

• Thanks a lot for your support. Eva enjoyed the lessons!

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2018)

• I am delighted with Daniel’s results and I know that he will be too! So that you know, when we had Daniel’s end of term parents evening and last Progress Test reports from school, we were told that Daniel had made ‘much higher than expected progress’ in Maths and English since last taking the tests in 2016. I do credit Daniel for this of course, but I also want to say that I firmly believe that your tuition has also helped him to achieve these levels. Please pass on my thanks to his tutor, and let’s hope that he keeps up the good work.

• I wanted to just let you know that Jake really enjoyed his first session last week and seems motivated to complete the homework.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2015)

• We are happy to say that Finley passed (quite comfortably). Finley did say that he thinks it would have been a different experience going into the test without all the preparation through tuition.

  Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2019)

• Mia is really enjoying the course this week. She was actually keen to join you next week too.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (Summer 2016)

• Devkrish has enjoyed and found it beneficial attending your courses at Beaconsfield. He looks forward to attending one more summer holiday week course at Beaconsfield and the refresher lesson to follow also at Beaconsfield.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2017)

• Just wanted to let you know that Oli passed and he is very pleased with the result. Thanks for all your help and support.

  Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2020)

• I’m pleased to say that he passed. Thanks for all your teams help.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2018)

• 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.

  Year 4 parent, Beaconsfield (2020)

• She passed with a score of 136 so a good result!

  Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2019)

• I just wanted to send a quick email before the results come out on Friday. Whatever the results are - we have been so happy with the results we have had from Sarah teaching our daughter over the last 2 years. When our daughter first started she was getting in the 40-50% mark and her confidence was not very good. Towards the end of this academic year, she is more confident sitting tests and her English and maths has really improved. This has also helped her at school and it’s definitely been noticed. She has enjoyed coming over the last 2 years every Saturday, she has enjoyed the structured homework and I would definitely recommend Marie Redmond to others. She has improved with her literature reading skills, maths problems and non/verbal reasoning. Sarah has always been very honest with us about our daughter and I have admired her enthusiasm. We are lucky we live in an area with good state and grammar schooling so whatever the outcome I know she will go into year 7 with confidence. She will definitely miss coming on Saturdays. Please can you send a big thank you to Sarah for all her hard work and words of wisdom to all the children who have studied with her.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2024)

• I’m delighted to say that Connie passed her 11+ with a score of 167. Thank you very much for your contribution to that. We opted for your week long holiday course to kick start the ‘back to work’ moment. The structure and games that made up the classes plus completing the week with a mock were a great start to that process, just the right tone and content. In addition she chose to come to your one off Saturday class just before the exam on the Thursday and this too helped her with techniques for managing exam stress. Many thanks again and all the best for 2016.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2015)

• We used Marie Remond tuition in Beaconsfield for both of our daughters (sitting 11+ in Sep 2022 and Sep 2024) and have been delighted that both daughters passed. Marie Redmond tuition was excellent, all teachers we encountered were of a high quality and the homework and support was exactly as needed. The mock exams were also a great way of tracking progress and building confidence for the real exam. Thank you! [From Google Review.

• Just a quick note to tell you that Polly passed with a score of 139. Please thank Sarah and I appreciate all you did for Polly, especially moving the lessons around for her activity schedule and my work hours! We are delighted. I hope you have a good result throughout your classes.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2016)

• I'm very pleased to say that Katie passed with a score of 122! I just wanted to pass my huge thanks to Jacqueline who helped her confidence throughout the year and who was an amazing, patient teacher. Katie really enjoyed her time with her and the class and is very excited to hopefully go to Becky High next year. Considering where Katie started at the beginning of her tutoring journey (particularly with maths), we are thrilled with the result and support from Jacqueline and Irene on her summer course too. Thanks for helping Katie with her Becky High dream!

  Year 5 parent, Hazlemere (2024)

• Thanks Marie - he got 130 - please thank all the amazing teachers he had and especially Sarah!! I will put up a review for you and see you in a few years with my younger one.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2024)

• She passed with a mark of 132. Just very happy that she passed at this point. Thanks for the excellent course, and pls pass on my thanks to Lois’s lovely teacher Sarah at Beaconsfield.

  Year 5 parent, Hazlemere (2024)

• 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.

• I wanted to let you & Marie know that Amelia passed her 11+ exam. She got a score of 126 and passed all 3 individual scores: VR 125 Maths 124 NVR 131 I want to say thank you to you and all the Marie Redmond team. Both of our daughters had MR tuition and passed so we're delighted! Many thanks.

  Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2025)

• 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.

  Year 4 parent, Beaconsfield (2017)

• He passed with flying colours. We were very pleased with his results as was he.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2016)

• Just a quick note to let you know that Chloe did really well in her 11+, and passed well with a score of 130. Everyone here is very pleased, and great to see that your predictive scores throughout her courses (where she was always above the suggested pass mark) rang true in the test. Many thanks for all your help over the last couple of years, we’ll have our son coming to you I expect in a few years (currently Yr2).

  Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2021)

• Thanks very much for this last year. Your classes are very organised as always and she comes home happy despite the hard work. Your hard work is much appreciated.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2019)

• I thought you’d like to know that he passed his 11plus – not with a whopping score but a pass is a pass. We are dead chuffed! Thank you for all your help.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2017)

• Dear Marie, I just wanted to say that she passed the 11+ and we are all very happy. Thank you very much for the courses. They are so helpful.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2022)

• Ben attended the summer school last week with Anne in Beaconsfield and found it very helpful. We received his test results today and are pleased that he has made good progress.

  Year 5 parent, Chalfont St Peter (2017)

• Dear Marie, I am just wanting to email to say thank you to both you and Sinead for the support you gave to my daughter Elsa during her 4 afternoon sessions with Sinead during the October half term at Beaconsfield. Elsa has said she found the sessions really helpful to pull together her learning from the familiarisation work she had done at home previously. Elsa has also said she really enjoyed the sessions, which is so key to learning! Elsa comfortably passed her 11+ test, and is rightly proud of herself. Thank you again, and all the best for a great 2021!

  Year 6 parent, Wendover (2020)

• I am very pleased to write that my daughter, who attended your Easter and Summer revision courses, was successful in her Bucks 11+ exam.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2018)

• Connie enjoyed the summer school course. She was very happy to come in every day and seemed relaxed whilst also enjoying the work. Please pass on our thanks to the teacher for her work with Connie and her cheerful kindness throughout. It was very much appreciated.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2015)

• Hi Marie, a very big thank you to you and your staff in preparing Rohan (Beaconsfield Sat 930am class) for his 11 Plus. He passed the Bucks test with a score of 131. The tuition course was well structured and organised with prompt replies to emails. A very positive first experience of going through the 11 Plus process. We will be in touch soon to prepare our two younger children.

  Year 5 parent, Ickenham (2018)

• She passed! She scored a 127 and was very happy (and proud) for her results. Thank you for all of your help in preparing!

  Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2020)

• Dear Marie, He has passed the 11 plus and we are delighted and thankful to you all for your continuous support, both my children have been successful with the tuition plans. He enjoyed Sarah’s lesson on Monday and found her always approachable and helpful! Please do let her know as she will be keen to know the outcome!

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2022)

• I think that the intense week of tutoring really helped.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2018)

• I’m pleased to say she passed! She got a score of 129. I feel this accurately reflects the type of results she was getting in her mock exams. She had worked so hard over the summer and was over the moon with the result. She said straight away that it was worth all of the effort! Thank you and your team and I look forward to being back with my other daughter, next September.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2022)

• I wanted to let you & Marie know that she passed her 11+ exam. She got a score of 126 and passed all 3 individual scores. I want to say thank you to you and all the Marie Redmond team. Both of our daughters had MR tuition and passed so we're delighted!

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2024)

• Please see feedback from Cillian and myself and Ken Cillian: He thought Sarah was a really good teacher and the class size was good. The amount of homework and knowing what they were getting each week helped me plan what I had to do. Fiona & Ken: Very well organised and structured. Total visibility of the work they are doing, results, where they had issues etc. Like the termly exams to get them used to the 11 plus format. Easy to communicate with the teacher when needed. Access to their exam papers and how they were tracking across the group was helpful. Felt the termly reports accurately reflected where Cillian was and where he was struggling and wasn’t a generic class update. We have been really happy with the tuition and 11 plus work Cillian has completed, didn’t think the homework was too much and well set out so (if like Cillian) you wanted to plan when you did the work each week he could and manage his own time. Pass or fail I think he has developed a lot faster in areas than he would have done just in school lessons. Really appreciate all the support yourself, Craig and Sarah have given us.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2022)

• Please pass on our thanks and best wishes to Sarah H who tutored our daughter (and her older sister). Both our girls thought she was very kind and supportive and made the lessons enjoyable. Our best wishes to you and the team including Craig who was always very helpful and efficient with the course administration.

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2024)

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2016)

• First of all I wanted to say a massive thank you for all your hard work especially during the COVID period to keep the tuition going for Sophie. She has made tremendous progress this year. We would love to keep in touch as her brother is only two years away from Year 4 and we certainly are convinced it has been game changing for Sophie this year.

  Year 4 parent, Beaconsfield (2020)

  Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2025)

He did attend a couple of your summer courses and mock exams which he found very useful. He enjoyed the sessions organised for the mock exams. Devkrish looks forward to excel in an academic environment. Thanks a lot.

  Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2018)

• We are delighted that he passed the 11+ so he is looking forward to joining his big brother at RGS next year assuming the school place allocation goes as expected! Thanks for your help and please pass our thanks onto Sinead too.

  Year 5 parent, Chinnor (2019)

• Edward attended one of your week long summer courses in Beaconsfield. I thought that you would be interested to know that he passed with a score of 142. Phew! Thank you so much for your help with his preparation, and for sending him a good luck card in the post.

  Year 6 parent, Bledlow (2019)

  Year 6 parent, Beaconsfield (2025)

  Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2021)
