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.
New Malden has a highly engaged private tuition community, with families from the KT3 area investing in GCSE core subject support and selective school preparation.
Every Common Entrance tutor listed for New Malden sets their own rates and availability, so families across Greater London 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.
