Common Entrance tutoring prepares students aged 11–13 for the entrance examinations used by independent and private secondary schools in the UK. The CE exams are set by ISEB (Independent Schools Examinations Board) and cover English, Maths, Science, History, Geography, French and other subjects at CE 11+ or CE 13+ level.
Common Entrance is a different beast from state school tests, it uses its own syllabus, specific question formats and is often used by highly selective schools where the pass mark can be 65–75%. Without a tutor who knows the CE syllabus specifically, students often prepare for the wrong content.
Chichester has an established private tuition community across the Cathedral City and the surrounding villages of Bognor Regis, Selsey and the Manhood Peninsula. GCSE English and Maths are the most requested subjects, with strong A-Level demand for sciences and humanities. The University of Chichester also creates a pipeline of qualified local tutors covering a wide subject range.
Every Common Entrance tutor listed for Chichester sets their own rates and availability, so families across West Sussex can compare tutor 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 Common Entrance tutor directly and arrange a first lesson on your own terms.
