Birmingham is one of the few big English cities where grammar school places are still won and lost on a single exam. Whether your child is preparing for the 11+, chasing GCSE grades, or building towards A-Level offers, Tutormint gives them one dedicated tutor, teaching their exact syllabus, online from home. First lesson free.
Birmingham's selective grammar schools are heavily oversubscribed, with more children sitting the entrance exam each year than there are places. Many families begin preparing in Year 4 or Year 5 rather than trying to fit everything into the final summer.
The pressure does not end at 11. Sixth forms set entry grades, and universities make offers based on A-Level results. Finding a weak topic early gives your child more time to put it right.
Online one-to-one tutoring gives Birmingham families:
Preparation covers Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, Maths and English in the format used by Birmingham's grammar schools. Lessons introduce timed practice gradually, so your child learns the method without spending every session racing the clock.
Topic-by-topic revision, past papers and mark-scheme technique for AQA, Edexcel, OCR and other boards. We work backwards from the grades your child's sixth-form choice requires.
Specialist subject tutors for the depth competitive university offers demand: extended answers, data handling, genuine mastery.
Foundations in Maths, English and Science, plus Year 6 SATs preparation that builds confidence rather than anxiety.
We revisit topics your child has missed before they choose GCSE options.
Tell us your child's year group, subject and goal. Form, phone or WhatsApp.
Take a free one-to-one demo class. No payment.
The demo doubles as an assessment: where your child is, what's missing, what to do next.
We match a tutor by subject, level and learning style.
Weekly lessons begin, with homework support and a progress update after every session.
Whether your child is working towards grammar school, a GCSE grade or an A-Level offer, regular help gives them time to improve without cramming. In the free demo lesson, the tutor will assess their current level and explain what they would work on next.
You can meet the tutor and see how your child responds before deciding whether to continue.
