If your child is sitting the 11+ this year, you're probably feeling a mix of anticipation and pressure. You’re not alone. Many parents are wondering if they’re doing enough to help their children succeed — especially as competition for top grammar and independent schools intensifies each year.
At Akiru, we understand this journey. We're here to make sure your child isn't just prepared — they’re confident, focused, and ready to thrive.

What Makes Akiru Different?
We’re not your typical tuition centre. Our classes are live and online, built specifically around what gets results: timed past paper practice, precision feedback, and expert guidance. With a laser focus on Maths (and more subjects on the way), we’re helping students build accuracy, speed, and confidence — the three pillars of 11+ success.
Our tutors? They’re not just experienced — they’re exceptional. Handpicked from top UK prep schools and elite universities, they know what it takes to bring out the best in your child.
Two Powerful Ways to Prepare
Term-Time Weekly Classes
Small group sessions (10–15 students) during term time. These run from September in Year 5 to October in Year 6, with focused 90-minute sessions available after school and on weekends. Every class is built around real exam paper technique — no fluff, just results.
Past Paper Intensive Courses (Summer & Autumn Holidays)
Our most in-demand option. These high-energy, 5-day holiday sessions are the final push many families need. Your child will complete multiple timed papers each day, review questions with their teacher, and sharpen their strategy under exam-like pressure — all in a fun, supportive environment.
Why Parents Choose Akiru
✅ Small, focused classes

Time is Ticking...
The truth? There’s no such thing as “plenty of time” when it comes to the 11+. The top schools — like Eton, St Paul’s, Westminster, and grammar schools across the UK — are looking for students who are confident under pressure and precise in their technique. That takes guided practice, not guesswork.
This summer is your moment. Whether your child needs structure, challenge, or that final confidence boost — Akiru is here to support them every step of the way.
