Don't Just Prepare for the 11+. Out-Think It!

The only 11+ and Academic Excellence platform designed by a former

Private School Headteacher

Get the Prep-School advantage for your child, starting today

"Join 500+ families bridging the Excellence Gap."

The "EXCELLENCE GAP"

  • Is Your Child Ready for the GL, CEM, or ISEB Exams?

State schools teach to the national average.

Selective schools test for the EXCEPTIONAL.

This "Excellence Gap" is why even bright children struggle with the variations between tests:

Kent Test, Sutton SET, or North London consortium papers.

The Mini Genius Method doesn't just provide practise;

it provides the Pedagogy of the Elite Curriculum.

We specialise in:

  • deep vocabulary,

  • non-verbal logic,

  • and multi-step maths

that standard school curriculums skip.

“Not only did my daughter pass the 11+ with flying colours, she also got into the top maths set of her new girl’s school, all down to her work in the mini Genius system.”

Further testimonials from our Pupils and Parents

I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional tutoring service you’ve provided to our daughter O over the past few months. Your dedication, expertise, and genuine care have made a positive difference in her academic journey, and for that, we are truly grateful.

Your ability to engage O and the progress she has made under your guidance is evident, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Your patience, encouragement, and positive attitude have not only helped her academically but have also boosted her confidence tremendously. We will be forever grateful for the role you’ve played in our daughter’s education and development.

Thank you once again for your unwavering commitment and for being such an incredible mentor to our daughter.
— C K
Andrew was excellent in engaging with my son. He managed to build a friendly connection online very quickly which is a challenge nowadays after lockdown.
He managed to build on my son’s strengths and he actually felt motivated to do the homework for Andrew. We are looking forward to continue with him in this academic year as well.
— Eszter - Parent
Fi always looks forward to her lessons with you, more than going to school, and I feel she has learned more in 6 months than in her 5 years at Primary school. There’s something magic in how you teach.
— Tamsin - Parent

Stationery organised for learning 11 plus

“You make hard learning so much easier and fun.”


Andrew’s experience enables him to teach in a relaxed and friendly fashion whilst at the same time ensuring that real progress is made in each session. Part of his style of tutoring is akin to a stealth bomber. Nuggets of learning are falling into their minds without them actually realising it. Perhaps this is one of the reasons my ten-year old needs no prompting or encouragement but instead actively looks forward to his weekly tutor time.
— O. Roy - Parent

Give your child the chance to be inspired by our teaching.

“My maths wasn’t very good but you made me feel confident I could do it and I can. And you’re quite funny.”


I can’t thank you enough for bringing out the confidence in my daughter. She no longer fears Maths, and is looking forward to Year 6 having missed half of last year due to her anxiety.
