About NIGEL
I have 11 years experience guiding children to win entry to competitive schools. I taught English and Maths at a top London prep school (St Philip's) and have a first in English from Bristol, an MSc from Oxford in Politics, and a PhD in English & Creative Writing from Royal Holloway, London. (I was previously a BBC and Channel Four producer). I also teach English at GCSE (and students have achieved grade 9s and 8s).
It's advisable to get in touch early - as I run a waitlist for one-to-one classes due to constant high demand from referrals.
My students in the last few years have won places at St Paul's Girls, South Hampstead, Westminster, St Paul's Boys' , St Paul's Girls', Haberdashers', Latymer Upper, QE Grammar, MTS, UCS, Henrietta Barnett, NLCS, Notting Hill, Channing, Francis Holland, City Girls, City Boys, as well as KCS Wimbledon and Eton. Some have won full scholarships. I teach students the range of skills needed for the 11+ and 13+ process and am a motivational guide throughout - instilling confidence and responding to their needs at every stage.
Following my training in 2019, six of my pupils in one school class gained entry to City of London Boys'. I transmit my enthusiasm for my subjects and use detailed knowledge on the process at each school to guide their preparation; I incorporate their interests into questions; I use magic whiteboards, touch screens, as well as paper and pen.
I was also in charge of teaching the 11+ prep courses in Maths, English and Reasoning at a Bright Young Things tutoring centre in Harrow (2015/16). Ten of my students gained entry to Haberdashers' Aske's, Henrietta Barnett, QE Boys Grammar and North London Collegiate.
Here are just a few responses from happy parents.... "Nikita got offers from Haberdasher's and Henrietta Barnett after being taught by Nigel at BYT...She plumped for Habs! She found Nigel's comprehension and writing prep very useful, which ensured she was able to get the higher marks. Nigel really helped in explaining word problems and quicker methods in the Maths..." Mrs Bhardwaj, Harrow "Derin applied to Habs and Henrietta Barnett. She found the comprehension exercises covered by Nigel at BYT helped her structure her answers well in Henrietta Barnett's tougher comprehension tests. Derin thoroughly enjoyed the Year 6 extension course and found Nigel's Maths and English teaching rigorous and fun." Mrs Butler, Harrow "Avanti applied to North London Collegiate and Haberdasher's and got in with flying colours! Nigel's teaching at BYT boosted her confidence across Reasoning, English and Maths and she felt very well prepared." Mrs Chilkoti, Harrow

Parents will tell you I enthuse their children and motivate them to succeed - my students look forward to my lessons. I'm very experienced in the ins and outs of the 11+ process, with in-depth knowledge of what is required in tests and interviews at different schools: I teach the full 11+ curriculum and prepare them with past papers and my own bespoke material - and also make sure students are interview ready. I know the 11+, pre-tests, and 13+ papers in real detail and base my preparation on feedback on the tests and interviews from past students. I'm able to target a pupil's weaknesses in all disciplines very accurately and provide material specific to that.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of NIGEL.
Perfect! Nigel is a good tutor .My son likes his lessons.
- Jie's son Ethan is tremendous fun to teach. He is quick and has a super vocabulary for his age. He is fully engaged throughout the lessons. He is using accurate sentences with evidence; we need to develop his skills in multimark questions and also iron out occasional grammar errors. We will also practise extended writing.NIGEL's response :
Perfect! Nigel very quickly understood how to make the tutoring appeal to my son and has been encouraging him and challenging him in his learning. My son looks forward to his lessons and even asks me to ask Nigel for more homework!
- Pellis is extremely bright and quick with his Maths. He also uses a range of sophisticated vocabulary and some higher level punctuation. We are focusing on extending his explanations in his comprehension answers.NIGEL's response :

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Thank you, Nigel, for teaching our son!
Your teaching techniques, methodology, and materials for both math and English were very well produced and highly beneficial to our son's confidence.
We have seen a significant improvement in our son's progress as a result of your well-structured program in such a short period of time.
With your prudent, supportive, and hard-working strategy for comprehending our son's learning abilities and keeping him motivated, you have successfully generated the greatest potential and confidence in him. Thank you for that!
My recommendation: the overall experience with Nigel's tuition has always been excellent, and the package he introduced included 11+ preparation, mock tests, and interview prep, which I must acknowledge were very helpful in increasing our son's confidence before his real exam and interview day and significantly improving his potential.
Daniel was accepted by every UK co-ed selective school to which we applied (Wellington College, Charterhouse, Brighton College, and Emanuel School). I would strongly recommend Nigel's tuition approach to parents who are serious about managing their children's 11+ exam and interview preparation.
Yours sincerely,
ElviraNigel is an outstanding tutor, and we were delighted with the help he gave to our son in his 11+ preparations. He provides specific techniques for the different topics, which helps the student obtain maximum marks for each question. He has a seemingly photographic memory of past papers. Nigel was also an expert at keeping our son focussed on the subject, despite our son's best efforts at distracting him! But at the same time, our son and Nigel had fun! Especially during the interview preparations, which is another fantastic job Nigel did!
Although we started the process late, our son got offers from Haberdashers Boys, Merchant Taylors, Mill Hill and Brighton College.
We have no hesitation in recommending Nigel to any other parents.It's been such a pleasure having Nigel supporting my daughter in her Maths, non VR and interview prep ref 11+. Nigel took lessons for just about a year and she got offers from all schools we applied to across ISEB, London Consortium and City of London Girls/CEM. Nigel was extremely involved and patient. His method of teaching gave Ira lot of confidence and motivation. I would highly recommend Nigel and one of the key things that also stood out was Nigel doing all lessons in person which had a huge positive effect on learning.
Nigel has been tutoring our daughter and has supported her in developing her maths skills, which isn't her strongest area. He also encouraged her and guided her in her comprehension and creative writing. She always looked forward to lessons with Nigel. He managed to make it fun and engaging. And she has now been offered places at both schools she applied to. Thank you Nigel. (We chose Nigel to tutor our daughter because he had successfully tutored our son, who also gained a place at his preferred school).
Nigel really helped my son achieve his place in Brentwood school. He also helped to boost his confidence when he was interviewed by the school. My son enjoyed being taught by Nigel and always found him to be clear and interesting which meant he always wanted to have the lesson. I would highly recommend Nigel to anyone needing extra tuition for their children.
Nigel is an incredibly knowledgeable and patient teacher. He has an energetic and yet calming approach, as well as a wealth of different strategies that he uses to help build knowledge, understanding and confidence in pupils.
Nigel Singh teaches with great enthusiasm and structure. He makes the lessons fun and explains useful ways for children to orientate all english literature and language tasks. He taught my son both in a school environment and on a one to one and I can't recommend him enough.
I worked with Nigel at a preparatory school in London and he is a warm and interesting person. I had the pleasure of seeing him teach a few times and he was enthusiastic, engaging, passionate, and rigorous. He made Maths and English lessons interesting, and got excellent results. I also saw him do 1:1 work with pupils and his interest in helping them was clear - he really wanted the best for each student as was willing to put a lot of effort into helping them achieve it. I would have loved to have had someone like him as a tutor when I was that age.
Nigel taught my son Maths and English in year 5. He brought out my son's talent in English, and encouraged him in Maths. My son said Nigel was one of the best teachers he ever had.
