We are very grateful to Sara and the team for the tuition and support they have given our son in preparation for the 11+ exam. We have found it to be a very professional and highly competent tuition service and our son has learned a lot from all the tutors he has come in to contact with. We'd like to give a special mention to Toby, who he had weekly classes with throughout the year. He was patient, caring, energetic and enthusiastic - a real credit to the team.

Really grateful for the mock exams that really helped her nerves settle prior to taking the real exam.
Scott, 2024
We think that Phil and J were a good match. He gave him the tools he needed to be able to pass. We said from the start that we didn't want to make it a chore or push something that wasn't there. But J's regular sessions with Phil were ideal for him to stay motivated. He just did one mock test, but that helped to ease his nerves and give him an insight into what he would need to do on the day. The report you sent after allowed us to identify the areas to work on in the last couple of weeks. We used your free papers and paid for a couple of the extra question papers, the coding system was really helpful.

Dear Phil, I want to express my gratitude and thank you from the bottom of my heart for working with Maria and being so kind and understanding. Thanks to you she is very confident and likes Biology. Thank you very much again,
Alina, 2025
The Chattertons mock exams were extremely useful & really helped my son Henry. It was essential just so they practice; know timings, answering all the questions, managing their nerves, areas they need to focus or be extra vigilant. I would highly recommend this for anyone sitting the 11+
Lizzy, 2023
We were delighted with Jenny's help. Matthew had been really worried about sitting the entrance exams but Jenny was able to inspire confidence in him and after his taster day he actually came out smiling. What's more, Matthew has now been accepted and he can't wait to start in September.
Parent,
Sara is absolutely fantastic. She had so much patience and kindness towards my daughter when she tutored her for the 11+. Many thanks
Sophie, 2022
Sara has been a famtastic maths tutor and has also helped source other tutors as have been needed over A levels and GCSEs. Jack has come on leaps and bounds in maths from what he picked up at school. Thank you!
Julie, 2025
I am impressed with Jane and Finlay who are both tutors at Chatterton Tuition. David was well supported by both of them, identified his area of weakness and helped him to develop the necessary skills to succeed at the 11plus and independent schools assessments. I am proud to say he got offers in all three schools he applied to and even won an academic scholarship in one of the schools. Thank you!
Miranda, 2023
Sara and her team are wonderful. My three girls had Sara as a tutor with their 11+ exam preparations, they all passed with great scores. Sara also helped my eldest daughter with her GCSE Maths and Sara's team was helping my daughter with Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I honestly couldn't recommend Sara highly enough!
May, 2024
Both of our children have been successful in the 11+ exam for Ripon Grammar and one has now passed out and gone to University. The exam preparation tests are excellent and representative. results and feedback delivered quickly and helpful. Thank you and well recommended.
Nitin, 2023
The 11+ mocks and super mock provided by Chatterton were crucial in preparing both our children for passing their 11+. The support and feedback provided by Sara and the team was excellent. I would recommend Chatterton to anyone considering the 11+ for their child.
Rebecca, 2023
Both my son and daughter used the tutors at Chatterton Tuition to help with their 11+ entrance exam and both passed. We continue to use Chatterton Tuition to help with revision and to top up any subjects the children feel they need extra help with. My son who is now in his GCSE year is doing both the maths and science group session and he actually is actually happy to do these classes as he knows the revision is spread out over the year rather than crammed in to the last few weeks. My thoughts are that every lesson could be one or two extra marks and this would add up to achieving one or two higher grades in his GCSE. I constantly recommend them to friends.

We contacted Chatterton Tuition quite late relative to when others start to prep for the 11+; April. I had a really great, productive conversation on the phone with Sara and took our daughter for an initial session to see if there was enough time to get her to the standard needed to pass. It went so well, from the off I got such a sense of comfort and assurance and even better; our daughter came away full of enthusiasm and energy. This mood never changed, every time I arrived to collect her she was happy and felt empowered and inspired. We honestly could not have asked for a better experience, Sara was available when we needed her and was accommodating with her approach to teaching, easily able to switch to remote sessions while we were on holiday during the summer. Practice papers were provided and areas of focus were given every week. Reflecting on our time working with Chatterton Tuition I think the biggest differentiator from how tuition of any kind is provided for children was how child centric Sara made it, the parents opinions were valued, of course, but the whole process was about the relationship fostered with our daughter, the feedback she gave in her own way to Sara and the conversations they had. This is what dictated the pace of learning and ultimately resulted in a successful outcome. I mentioned how our daughter came away brimming with confidence earlier, I also never had a moment through the whole process where I was in any doubt that she was in the very best hands; I have the utmost confidence in the style of teaching and their ability to achieve an outcome. I will not hesitate to recommend Chatterton Tuition to anyone seeking a kind, supportive, nurturing learning environment.
Philip, 2023
My daughter had a maths tutor through Chatterton Tuition. Maths is not her favourite subject and she was finding it hard in school, so we started with one to one sessions and then a small group. My daughter went from a predicted 5 to an actual 7 in her GCSEs... she is so pleased... so a big thank you!
Emma-Jane, 2024
I just wanted say thank you for all the help you've given E. Her confidence was greatly improved and we're hoping she'll get a good result - we'll let you know!
Richard, 2025
We are very grateful that he was able to do mocks with you as this helped greatly, the feedback was very useful too!
Rosanna, 2024
Sara was able to tutor our son at very short notice for the 11+. Despite his reluctance, and with very little prep time, Sara helped him pass! Getting the exam practice and especially doing the mocks and supermocks were invaluable. Would highly recommend. Thanks Sara
Vanessa, 2024
All three of my children had 11+ tuition with Jane. She was brilliant. Thank you Jane!
Justine, 2023
First got in touch with Sara early this year for advice regarding the 11+ for Ripon Grammar. Excellent service throughout. Honest assessment. Only recommended the tuition required (we did a few face to face at Sara's home) and gave plenty of test questions for home study. The mock tests are very helpful, well organised and efficient. We are very satisfied and highly recommend Sara and Chatterton tuition.
Andrew, 2023
Sara was incredibly patient with my daughter whilst at the same time focusing on the critical questions on which she needed to improve. I would highly recommend their services. My daughter passed her 11 plus and prior to meeting Sara this was not a dead cert.
Emma, 2019
Fantastic service from Sara and her team. The private online tuition (via Zoom) made a huge impact on my 9 yr old daughter who really enjoyed all of the lessons. The teachers were engaging and very flexible to accommodate her needs and provided feedback after each lesson. Would highly recommend.
Chris, 2020
Id just like to thank you for introducing us to Connor. He has been fabulous with J for Maths GCSE. Whatever the outcome in his GCSE exam he gave him the confidence to try and J said every time that he has learnt and understood far more with Connor in such a small space of time than he did at High School. He is an asset to your contacts. So Thank you for your time and your help. Very much appreciated and i would most certainly recommend your services to others in the future.
Louise, 2025
The verbal reasoning papers were really helpful. We must've bought up all the papers available in Harrogate so it was wonderful to find some fresh new papers.
Alison, 2018
Our son felt relaxed going into the mock exams and access to the practice papers was really useful for his revision. The feedback from Sara was clear and helpful. Highly recommend Chatterton tuition for 11+ preparation
Danni, 2024
We have been thrilled by the tuition provided by Chatterton Tuition and cannot recommend the service provided highly enough! Our children loved the lessons, they were extremely engaging, well planned and really enjoyable and have given our children much more confidence in their learning. Thank you! We hope to continue to use Chatterton tuition in the future.
Leanne, 2020
We had Vanessa from Chatterton for our son and she was fantastic. The mocks were brilliant to give children a chance to see what the tests would be like.
Charlie, 2024
We used Chatterton Tuition to help my daughter pass the 11+ exam.Jane the one to one tutor was excellent very supportive and kept us well informed throughout. My daughter also attended some group classroom sessions with mock exams with proved invaluable to put my daughter at ease in what can be a stressful time for your child. I can highly recommend Chatterton Tuition. Thank You Phil and Sara.
Jane, 2020
We have used Chatterton Tuition for 11+ and maths tuition over the last 5 years. Tutors have been excellent and Sara and Phil are always lovely to deal with, can highly recommend them.
Zita, 2020
The group revision sessions in Maths and Chemistry at Easter were very helpful and gave me confidence in my abilities. I was over the moon with my results ! Thankyou
N R-W, 2019
Abi was first tutored by Sara towards the end of primary school when the 11+ was looming large so it was without hesitation that we turned to her again when Abi's confidence in Mathematics needed a boost. Sara tutored Abi on a 1:1 basis and kept the sessions fairly fluid depending on areas of need each fortnight. Abi's confidence grows palbably during periods of tuition with Sara and this is a testament to the way in which Chatterton tuition cares about helping the pupils in their charge. Abi has just been awarded GCSE Grade 8 for maths and 7 for further maths - it's really hard to see how we could recommend anyone other than Chatterton Tuition!
Giles, 2020
The tutoring and mock exams were well organized and feedback were given quickly. These helped my son to get through the selection exam. Will highly recommend
Kalpana, 2023
Toby was wonderful and very accommodating with online classes, mock revision support and extra classes. As parents we had no idea where to start to assist P in learning what he needed to. Yet your teachers did it with such ease.
Michelle, 2024
Chatterton Tuition have been fantastic at providing tuition for the 11 plus, without this both my children wouldn't have passed the Ripon Grammar 11 plus. I would highly recommend.
Katie, 2020
Huge thanks to Georgia and the Chatterton team who provided my daughter with support in the final run up to her A levels, giving her the extra confidence she needed before sitting her exams.
Sarah, 2024
They were amazing from start to finish. My daughter did 11+tuition with Jane and she was great. The mock exam were also fantastic and there was alway support throughout the process.
Hugh, 2023
I could not recommend Chatterton Tuition enough for preparation for the RGS 11+ exam. Jane, my daughters tutor was patient, friendly, supportive and really helped her prepare for the exam itself, but also with her confidence too. The mocks were also extremely beneficial towards her confidence and knowing what to expect on the day. I cannot recommend them enough, thank you Jane!
Kari-Anne, 2023
Alastair was a huge help to my son during lockdown, keeping him on track and providing brilliant resources that kept him engaged between tutor sessions. It really helped my son to improve at a time when it was harder to ask for help in class.
Emma, 2021
Chatterton has been brilliant for my Year 5 son over the last few months. He has really enjoyed the lessons which his tutors made fun and interesting. I would thoroughly recommend Chatterton.
Helene, 2020
An invaluable resource during lockdown. We have used both the group lessons and 1:1 tuition and both were excellent with engaging tutors and fantastic communication. Highly recommend.
Jacqueline, 2020
My experience of Chatterton tuition was so positive. They are experts in their field. I felt confident my son was receiving the very best possible tuition. I will not hesitate to use them in the future.

Chattertons provided us with a professional, caring and supportive experience. We couldn't recommend them enough!
Sarah, 2019
Really pleased with Chatterton's extra tuition for our 9 year old. She enjoys the lessons and looks forward to each session. Would thoroughly recommend Chattertons who have helped our daughter continue learning during the Covid 19 school closure.
