Prepare your child for the Buckinghamshire 11 Plus with expert guidance in English and verbal reasoning from Grade Accelerator Academy. Based in Amersham, we specialise in helping children master the core literacy skills essential for grammar school entry and private school success.
At Grade Accelerator Academy, we understand the pressure families face during 11 Plus season, especially in a grammar school county like Buckinghamshire. That’s why we offer tutoring focused solely on the English and verbal reasoning elements. We do not offer maths preparation for the 11 Plus.
The truth? Practice papers aren’t enough. Schools don't teach to the 11 Plus, and students are often left without structured preparation. Our tutoring provides the insider strategies, reading comprehension skills, and verbal reasoning techniques that make the difference in exam performance.
Sessions are designed to build confidence, fluency, and precision under timed conditions.

Yes. Many private and independent schools include English and verbal reasoning in their entrance exams, and our tutoring is designed to meet those standards. As an ex-Head of English at an independent school, our founder Natasha Shirman has set and marked 11+ English papers herself. This insider insight informs our tailored approach, helping students not just practise, but perform confidently under real exam conditions.
If your child is facing the Buckinghamshire 11 Plus this autumn, now is the time to act. Give them the focused, expert support they won’t find in school.
