A fantastic company that I highly recommend ..... friendly, professional, modern and progressive. Two of my children (both very different) have not only shown great progress academically under their tuition, but also a fantastic growth in confidence. They nurture a true love of learning for life.

Sam and his team are doing an amazing job. My 10 year old daughter has been going to Smart 11 plus for over a year and has shown great progress. The tutoring groups are small and very well organized. I’m delighted to see an environment that instils passion for learning in the children and offers so much more than just clinical 11 plus preparation. The holiday booster courses are fantastic value and offer a well rounded learning experience. The techniques and skills she is learning here will stand her in good stead for years to come, regardless of the outcome of the 11+ exam. The tutors are passionate about education and adopt a personalized approach for all the children. Highly recommend and thank you for all your hard work.

I would highly recommend Sam’s tuition school.

Excellent tuition, when I asked my daughter she said she wished she could start the year all over again! Thanks for all the help and most of all encouragement she has had since January!

We were very pleased with Smart Plus Tuition and would highly recommend them. Sam is a very pleasant tutor who makes learning fun yet challenging and is always happy to provide feedback to parents. We found a small group was more suitable for our daughter than one to one as she enjoyed the competition and it was definitely excellent value for money.

My Children William & Sophia have the pleasure of being tutored by Sam. He has a wonderful approach that makes learning fun. My daughters confidence has really grown and really helped at school. William has a real passion for Maths and Sam has really encouraged and challenged him which he is thrilled about. I would definitely recommend Sam and Smart Plus tuition.

My 10 year old daughter attended Saturday lessons over the last nine months and I saw her confidence and ability grow. She enjoyed lessons in a small group and Sam helped her develop her skills in both maths and English. She will miss her lessons and Sam - I would certainly recommend Solihull Tuition to anyone. Thanks Sam!

My 10 year old daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her tutor classes. Sam was fantastic with her and was very encouraging. She will miss her Saturday morning class very much. I would definitely recommend this tutor.

Sam did wonders for my son's confidence. He is an excellent tutor and I would thoroughly recommend his tuition groups. My son did not need any persuasion to attend his lessons, as he found Sam's teaching far more interesting and entertaining than school! Thanks Sam - whatever the outcome of the 11 plus you have changed my son's attitude to learning.

I cannot speak highly enough of the first class tuition provided by Smart Plus Tution. They have provided excellent teaching for my 10 year old daughter who will be sitting her 11+ soon. Sam's patience and expertise has boosted her confidence and broadened her knowledge to a much higher standard. Thank you so much for all your help and support.

My 10 year old son is due to sit the 11+ exam on Saturday 11th Sept. He is quietly confident thanks to the high standard of tutoring from Smart Plus Tuition. Sessions have been relaxed and fun, whilst at the same time, providing a highly personalised approach throughout. My son has enjoyed it so much that he doesn't want it to end! Thank you sincerely for all your dedication and support.

My son is 9, he thoroughly enjoys his tutoring session. It has built his confidence and I know he will be confident to sit the 11+ next year. Thanks Sam for making tutoring enjoyable for my boy.

Sam

Executive Principal

I am passionate about education. As the son and grandson of educators, it is in my genes to know the importance of education and that the relationship between teachers and students is the key to learning.

I believe you can present innovative, all singing, all dancing approaches to the classroom, and repeatedly create new ways to engage pupils. You can cram your lessons full of subject matter, activities, games and imaginative assessment. You can cover your walls in bright posters, and even invite visitors in to motivate your pupils. You can reorganise the tables and chairs into different seating plans and move pupils around the room constantly to keep them occupied.

Try it all. It will make a difference. But above all, the thing that drives outcomes in the classroom? It’s when teachers care about each and every one of their students, when they are passionate about learning, and are in love with their subject. Students will remember that for the rest of their lives.

Enthusiastic and caring teachers really do make the biggest impact on children’s lives. At Smart 11+ we share that ability to build a bond with our students. This bond will help the children learn and grow, and give them every chance of success when exam day comes.

Emily

I chose to join Smart 11+ Tuition because from the moment I walked in I could see an amazing culture of enthusiasm, support and care. It is a small family business and pupils are treated as individuals and are encouraged to enjoy the learning process. The result is fantastic outcomes and high achievement.

Amy

I started working as a primary school teacher in 2004, specialising in teaching 7-11 year olds. I have been both a Class Teacher and am now enjoying my role as a Vice Principal at Smart 11+. Our focus is on delivering the curriculum with enthusiasm and dynamism, aiming to encourage and empower each child’s intrinsic desire for self-improvement. I am proud to be part of a team of professionals whose passion for education translates into motivated and inspired pupils.

Katie

Centre Manager (Kings Norton and Smethwick)

I am always amazed at how enthusiastic the children are to learn when they come to Smart 11+. As a result, I find working here incredibly rewarding and love helping the children to achieve their goals. I am aware of how fortunate I am to be able to do the job that I do and I can’t wait to speak to you about how we can help your child.

Nicky

When I first joined Smart 11+, I was amazed at how eager the children were to learn. I think the relationship between the staff and pupils is what is special about Smart 11+. We all genuinely care about the pupils and we go above and beyond to help them in their learning.
