11+ Preparation Tutors and Governesses for UK Independent Schools 

11+ Preparation Tutors and Governesses for UK Independent Schools 

At Nanny & Governess, we help families find the right educational support for their children at every stage of their development. For many families, preparing for the 11+ entrance examinations is an important step toward gaining admission to some of the UK’s most prestigious schools.

We work with families seeking entry to leading institutions such as Eton College, Harrow School and St Paul's School, London, among others. These schools have highly competitive admissions processes, and early, structured preparation can make a significant difference.

Our agency provides experienced governesses, governors and private tutors who specialise in 11+ preparation. Many of our candidates come from leading academic institutions, including universities within the Russell Group, and have strong teaching or tutoring backgrounds. They understand the structure and expectations of entrance examinations and are skilled at guiding children through the preparation process.

Our candidates support children in:

• Core academic preparation in English, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning

• Exam technique and practice papers

• Interview preparation and confidence building

• Developing study habits, organisation and focus

Successful preparation for these schools goes beyond academic ability. Children must also develop confidence, curiosity, and the ability to communicate clearly during interviews and assessments. Our governesses and tutors help nurture these qualities while maintaining a supportive and structured learning environment.
