How much does a Non-Verbal Reasoning tutor cost?

Non-Verbal Reasoning tutors, typically part of a wider 11 Plus preparation package, charge between £30 and £65 per hour in the UK, broadly in line with general 11 Plus tutoring rates.

Non-Verbal Reasoning tests visual and spatial pattern recognition — identifying the next shape in a sequence, spotting the odd one out, or mentally rotating a figure — skills that have no direct equivalent in the standard primary curriculum. Because the question types are entirely novel to most children before 11 Plus preparation begins, dedicated, repeated practice with a tutor who knows the specific formats tends to produce a genuine, measurable improvement.

Non-Verbal Reasoning is usually taught alongside Verbal Reasoning, Maths and English by a single experienced 11 Plus tutor rather than hired separately, since most families need coverage across all four components. Tutors who specifically know the GL Assessment question-type bank, or a target school's bespoke test format, are more valuable than a generalist without this exact familiarity.

Because Non-Verbal Reasoning is a highly practiseable, technique-driven skill, even a focused block of sessions on the specific pattern types a child finds hardest can produce a worthwhile improvement relatively quickly.
