Personalised Online Tutoring for Entrance Exams
Applying to a private or grammar school is an exciting step — but preparing for entrance exams can feel overwhelming.
At LearningClubs, we specialise in 1-to-1 live online tutoring for children preparing for the ISEB Pre-Test, CAT4, Common Entrance (11+ and 13+), and school-specific digital assessments.
Our tutors create a calm, supportive space that builds skills and confidence — even when exam pressure feels intense. With over 20 years’ experience, we know that every school is different, and every child is unique. Our tailored approach ensures your child receives the exact preparation they need.
“LearningClubs helped my son prepare for the 11+ grammar school entrance exam with confidence. Not only did his Maths and English improve, but his positive mindset made the whole experience less stressful — and he gained his place.” Parent of Year 5 student.

Common Entrance (11+ and 13+)
The ISEB Common Entrance Exams remain a route into many independent schools. These are usually paper-based, but we prepare students online by:
-
Strengthening subject knowledge in Maths, English, and Science (11+) or broader subjects at 13+
-
Practising past papers under timed conditions
-
Teaching written exam technique alongside online tuition
Even though your child learns online with us, our strategies help them translate digital learning into strong, confident exam performance.
School-Specific Entrance Exams
Many schools set their own entrance exams or adapt the ISEB format. Whether your child is applying to a London day school, a UK boarding school, schools in Guernsey & Jersey (Channel Islands), or international independent schools, we:
-
Research and adapt to each school’s requirements
-
Provide tailored practice resources and papers
-
Build a preparation plan based on your chosen schools
Every consultation begins with a discussion of your child’s target schools so that tuition is truly bespoke.
Our Supportive Approach
We know exams can bring anxiety and pressure. That’s why every lesson begins with our 5-breaths mindfulness practice — helping students calm their minds, reduce stress, and focus on learning.
Parents consistently tell us this small but powerful step makes a big difference to their child’s confidence, focus, and wellbeing.
