What affects the price
11 Plus preparation covers verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, maths and English across a variety of test formats including GL Assessment and CEM. Starting early and practising past papers with an experienced tutor gives children the best chance of success.
The 11 Plus tests skills, particularly non-verbal reasoning, that aren't taught in the standard primary curriculum, which means preparation with a specialist tutor is almost essential for competitive grammar school entry.
Manchester is one of the largest tuition markets outside London, with strong demand for GCSE and A-Level support across the city and surrounding areas.
Every 11 Plus tutor listed for Manchester sets their own rates and availability, so families across Greater Manchester can compare verified profiles side by side rather than going through an agency. Whether you need weekly in-person sessions or flexible online lessons, you can message a 11 Plus tutor directly and arrange a first lesson on your own terms.
11 Plus tuition in Manchester
Greater Manchester's tutoring demand is shaped heavily by neighbouring Trafford, which runs one of the few remaining fully selective grammar school systems in England: five grammar schools share a single 11-plus test, and getting a place is genuinely competitive. Families across the wider Manchester area often tutor toward this exam even when they live outside Trafford itself.
In-person tutoring is well established across the city centre and inner suburbs, with online sessions increasingly used to reach a Trafford-focused specialist from further out.
Grammar schools in Greater Manchester include Altrincham Grammar School for Boys, Altrincham Grammar School for Girls, Sale Grammar School, Stretford Grammar School, and Urmston Grammar. Most use the CEM format covering verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning and English comprehension. TutorLab tutors in Manchester are familiar with these schools and the specific test formats used.
11 Plus tutors in Manchester typically charge £32–£55/hour. Specialist CEM exam tutors with a strong track record may charge more. All tutors display their rates on their TutorLab profiles before you make contact.
Rates depend on experience, qualifications and the level of study. On TutorLab, tutors set their own rates and you can see them before you make contact, with no surprises.
Both work well. In-person tutoring in Manchester suits younger children who benefit from face-to-face engagement, while online sessions are often more convenient and give access to a wider pool of specialists. Many families start online and never look back: the technology for shared whiteboards and screen sharing has made online 11 Plus tutoring just as effective as sitting at a table together.
Once a week is the most common arrangement and works well for steady, ongoing progress. Some families increase to twice a week in the final months before exams. For occasional boosts around mock seasons, even two or three sessions can make a meaningful difference. The right frequency depends on how far behind your child is and how quickly they need to catch up.
The most reliable approach is a platform where tutors have verified profiles: you can read their background, see their subjects and levels, and contact them directly. TutorLab lists tutors who have published their own profile, so you can browse, compare rates and reach out without paying agency fees. Most tutors are happy to do a short introductory call before committing to regular sessions.
