About Deborah
11+ Entrance Exam Specialist
GL | CEM | ISEB | Independent & Grammar School Preparation
I provide specialist one-to-one tuition for children preparing for 7+, 11+ entrance exams.
Over the past 16+ years, I have helped many students secure places, including academic scholarship offers at leading independent and grammar schools.
My teaching is methodical, structured and highly targeted.
Rather than treating English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning as separate subjects, I focus on how these areas work together. This joined-up approach develops the deeper thinking skills that entrance exams reward.
Preparation therefore feels calmer, clearer and far more secure.
Children are not required to adapt to multiple tutors, different methods or conflicting advice. Instead, they benefit from a consistent strategy that strengthens understanding across all areas of the exam.
I work with a small number of families each year, allowing me to provide focused, carefully structured preparation tailored to each child.
My aim is always the same: to prepare children thoroughly, build genuine confidence, and help them perform at their best, without making exams the centre of their lives.
Below is a selection of independent and grammar schools where my students have secured places. While not exhaustive, it gives a clear indication of the depth of my experience.

7+ 11+ Entrance Exam Specialist
GL | CEM | ISEB | Independent & Grammar School Preparation
I provide specialist one-to-one preparation for children aiming for selective entry to leading independent and grammar schools, as well as KS2 SATs.
Over the past 16+ years, I have helped many students secure places — including academic scholarship offers — at highly competitive schools.
Lessons are carefully structured and delivered on an individual basis, allowing preparation to remain focused, calm and effective.
Rather than treating subjects in isolation, I pay close attention to how reading, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, mathematics and confidence interact under exam conditions. This allows preparation to be coherent and strategically aligned with the demands of selective entrance exams.
The aim is not speed or excessive workload, but secure understanding, clear thinking and reliable performance.
One-to-one tuition is offered on a limited basis each year, allowing every student to receive focused and carefully planned preparation.
How one-to-one lessons work
Sessions are:
• Individually tailored
• Paced carefully to the child
• Focused on strong methods and confident execution
• Guided by a clear and coherent preparation strategy
Guidance and exam strategy are delivered within lessons, ensuring support remains purposeful, contained and manageable for families.
Fees
One-to-one tuition: £65 per hour
(1-hour minimum)

Review
All reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience of Deborah students
Perfect! We feel so lucky we found Deborah as our teacher. She does not waste a minute of the lesson and goes strait into teaching subjects, communicates well with the kids. A wonderful teacher!
Perfect! I cannot recommend Debbie highly enough. We approached her at the very last minute, just one month before the Year 3 entry exams for Lady Eleanor Holles (LEH). While Debbie was very honest with us from the start—warning us that a month is a very short window and that we should manage our expectations—she kindly agreed to take our daughter on and has been transformative.
Our 7-year-old currently attends a "full circle" school that does not prepare students for external assessments, so introducing the concept of exams at this age felt like a "suffering process." However, Debbie’s impact was immediate. It is incredibly difficult to find an experienced tutor who understands the unique psychology of 6- and 7-year-olds, but Debbie is a master at it.
She manages to keep our daughter concentrated and focused without relying on "entertainment" or gimmicks. Instead, she maintains a pleasant, productive working atmosphere that gets results. In just a few weeks, our daughter has made incredible progress, both in her understanding of the exam system and the subject matter itself.
My only regret is that I didn't find Debbie sooner. If you are looking for a tutor who is realistic, professional, and uniquely skilled at teaching young children, look no further.Perfect! Deborah has been an exceptional tutor for my daughter over the last 3 months. She is calm, dedicated, and has an excellent ability to identify and focus on areas that need additional support. Her lessons are engaging, and she provides creative games and tools to make learning enjoyable and effective. Deborah’s exceptional knowledge of the 11+ and independent school exams has been invaluable, helping to challenge and stretch my daughter’s abilities with confidence. My daughter’s own feedback has been that Deborah is calm, kind and makes her feel at ease — a true reflection of her teaching style.
Perfect! Absolutely amazing with my daughter. My daughter was very scared to start her journey with Deborah. And now after the first lesson. She is begging me for another one.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor
Debbie was a thoughtful and patient tutor for my daughter. She was quick to assess the needs of my daughter, then provide suitable tasks for my daughter to develop her learning.
I would recommend Deborah as an 11+ tutor. Firstly she is well set up for online learning having the tools to share what she is doing to help demonstrate how to tackle questions (live visual of papers) at the same time as enabling you to see her. This really helped my children follow her throughout lessons. She is patient and explains things with enough detail as required to help the children. She is sufficiently demanding of the children and encourages them to complete homework in time for the following lesson which was an important part of their learning. Deborah tutored my twins separately and both passed the 11+ with a good score.
I would like to recommend Debbie very highly. She was successful in coaching our son through the 11 plus, despite starting late into the school year. She works hard to get the best out of her students and is very keen to see them achieve. She is approachable and very fair. I cannot praise her enough.
Debbie helped with the 11+ tutoring of my daughter for about a year when she started getting ready for it. She was evry amiable and my daughter was comfortable with her, looking forward to her lessons! And she was effective too as a major improvement was noticed in both her math and English. I would highly recommend Debbie.
Debbie Tutored me from 11+ to GCSE English. I achieved the top 11+ score in my county and am currently on track for a grade nine in both English Lit and Language GCSE. She has an extensive knowledge of exam boards and can curate learning to an individual student well. Her lessons are incredibly well organised and she’s a bright and cheery teacher. I’d recommend her to everyone.
Deborah guided and helped my daughter to gain excellent 11-plus results enabling her to go to her preferred Grammar School.
Deborah's knowledge of this subject is excellent. She was well-prepared and guided my daughter, teaching her not only content but perhaps more importantly, technique.
A true professional who I am VERY HAPPY to endorse.
Best regards,
Tom
Debbie was great with my daughter, patient & caring.
Debbie knew exactly how to support my daughter and gave great advice between sessions.I have known Debbie for four years, throughout this time I have found her to be kind, trustworthy and reliable. She will always ensure her students are comfortable and confident with the area of learning, supporting sound understanding of concepts both new and old.

Complimentary Consultation
I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation for prospective families.
During this session, we discuss the student’s current academic level, their target schools and any areas of concern.
This allows me to provide an informed assessment and outline how a structured preparation plan can support the student’s progress.
The consultation also gives families the opportunity to ask questions and determine whether my approach is the right fit for their child.
