What Birmingham Parents Say

Over 20 years of results at The Edgbaston Centre — here’s what families tell us.

★★★★★

"We had been told that our son was borderline for one of the Birmingham Grammar schools. We enrolled with Joel at The Apollo Hotel and not only did our son enjoy the experience — he successfully gained a place at King Edwards Five Ways. We'll definitely be enrolling our daughter into The Edgbaston Centre next year."

Dave
✅ Son: King Edward's Five Ways
★★★★★

"My son was able to pass every single exam he took — Solihull, KES and King Edwards — in only 4 months. Most children start 20 months before. I cannot thank Joel and The Edgbaston Centre enough. Even though other tutors may claim to be the best in Birmingham, I would definitely use The Edgbaston Centre."

Sati Sekhon
✅ Son: Passed Solihull, KES & King Edward's
★★★★★

"He went from being an average/good student to a high achieving student who also did incredibly well in his SATs. He left primary school to move onto King Edwards Aston. None of this would have been possible without The Edgbaston Centre."

Mandeep Dhillon
✅ Son: King Edward's Aston
★★★★★

"Sasha completely overcame her shyness and by the time the exams arrived she was able to walk in with confidence — as far as she was concerned it was just business as usual. The Edgbaston Centre gave her every possible advantage."

Sevvy Hasan
✅ Daughter: Wolverhampton Girls High School

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — completely free, with no obligation. There is no charge for the assessment and no pressure to enrol in any course afterwards. We offer it because we believe every family deserves an honest picture of where their child stands before making any decisions.
No preparation is needed whatsoever. The assessment is designed to measure your child’s natural ability and current level — coached answers would actually make it less useful. Simply turn up on the day and your child can do the assessment as they are.
The assessment itself typically takes around 45–60 minutes. Afterwards we will contact you by phone to discuss the results, share our honest opinion, and answer any questions you have. This call usually takes 15–20 minutes.
We assess children currently in Year 2, Year 3 and Year 4 — these children will be starting our Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5 courses respectively in September. If your child is in Year 5 already and the exam is approaching, please contact us directly and we’ll advise on the best course of action.
We always give an honest opinion on your child’s 11+ potential. If we feel the 11+ may not be the right path, we will tell you clearly and explain our reasoning. That said, if we believe your child could still benefit from our course — even with work to do — we will offer them a place. Our reputation over 20+ years is built on straight-talking advice, not filling seats.
