Greenhill Academics School Entrance Tests

School entrance exams, 11+ to 16+, are often a student’s first major academic challenge. These tests can shape future opportunities, and for some, the pressure or pace of the system can leave them feeling lost or unsupported.

We focus on the core components of school entrance exams—English, Maths, and Reasoning—while also supporting subject-specific assessments for 13+ and 16+ entry, including Science, Languages, and Humanities.

At Greenhill Academics, our tutors understand that every student approaches school entrance exams with different goals and strengths. That’s why we begin by identifying target schools and long-term aspirations, then build a personalised plan that is both challenging and achievable.

Never before in history has education been so accessible.

Online tuition brings leading academics to you with 24/7 contact through online tutoring software, interactive learning environments, and lessons straight to your home. Never before in history has education been so accessible.

11+

Understanding the specific requirements of each school’s 11+ exam is a vital part of the tutoring process. With every independent school setting its own papers or using different formats, this is often overlooked. Greenhill Academics’ tutors are familiar with the entrance exams of leading London day schools and beyond, tailoring their approach to the style, content, and expectations of each school.

What will your 11+ tutor teach you?

In our initial consultation, we identify the specific curriculum and skills required for the schools you’re applying to. We then create a personalised learning plan that targets the exact topics and question types found in 11+ exams—whether it’s English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning, or Non-Verbal Reasoning.

As part of the preparation process, we use past and school-specific 11+ papers, so that by exam day, you’ll be familiar with the format and style. This means no surprises—just a calm, confident, and well-prepared student whose score reflects their true potential.

13+

Each school’s 13+ entrance exam is different—some use the ISEB Common Entrance, while others set their own papers. Greenhill Academics’ tutors are experienced in navigating these variations and tailor support to the specific style and expectations of each school.

What will your 13+ tutor teach you?

We start by identifying the subjects and skills needed for your target schools, then create a tailored plan covering key areas like English, Maths, Science, Humanities, and Reasoning.

Using past and school-specific papers, we ensure you’re fully prepared and confident on exam day—familiar with the format and ready to perform at your best.

16+

Each school’s 16+ entrance process is unique—some assess through standardised exams, others through school-set papers, interviews, or subject-specific tests. Greenhill Academics’ tutors are experienced in preparing students for these varied formats and tailor their support to meet the expectations of each sixth form or college.

What will your 16+ tutor teach you?

We begin by identifying the subjects and skills required for your chosen schools and courses. From there, we build a personalised plan covering key areas such as English, Maths, Sciences, Humanities, and specialist subjects where needed.

Using past papers, interview prep, and timed practice, we make sure you’re confident, familiar with the format, and ready to perform at your best on exam day.

Russell has been providing secondary level maths lessons for my daughter over the summer. She has really enjoyed them and has engaged well, even when challenged. She always comes away from lessons feeling confident in her ability. The pace has been targeted to her and the online tools are easy to work with. She and I would recommend to anyone looking for group or 1:1 lessons.

Excellent tutors, high quality tuition and responsive admin. My son is not in school much due to health issues and the English and Maths tutors are giving him a chance of getting GCSEs. He always seems more confident after a lesson. I highly recommend Greenhill Academic Consulting!

I have had 4 sessions with Noah covering A-Level maths questions. They have been extremely useful at targeting my areas of weakness, which are mainly end of paper questions. Noah is thorough in explanations and make sure I understood exactly what the question is asking. We also covered how to generally approach questions to know how to best answer it. Would highly recommend as tutors!

My daughter had had maths tutoring up to and through her GCSEs. Natasha has been brilliant- they work through complex problems together, identify learning areas and agree topics to cover in their sessions. It’s made a huge difference to my daughter’s confidence and calm approach in maths. Five stars!!!!

Russell has done wonders with my son in an incredibly short period of time. He’s gone from being anxious and feeling unready for his exam to confident and prepared. He’s now even considering A-level maths. I can’t recommend Russell enough.
