Meet your tutors
Your child will be taught by two highly experienced classroom teachers and 11+ specialists who are passionate about helping children achieve their full potential.
Having worked together at a leading 11+ preparatory school in South West London, we have extensive experience designing and delivering successful 11+ programmes. Our expert guidance, supportive approach and deep understanding of selective school admissions help pupils build the confidence, knowledge and exam skills needed to succeed.
Gina Gent, BA (Hons), GTP
11+ specialist · 18 years' teaching experience
Gina Gent is an experienced educator and 11+ specialist with over 18 years of primary school teaching experience across both the state and independent sectors. Throughout her career, she has developed a deep understanding of academic preparation, school admissions, and how to help children thrive with confidence.
Known for her calm, encouraging, and engaging approach, Gina believes that children learn best when they feel supported and enjoy the process. Her sessions are structured, purposeful, and fun, helping pupils build both skills and self-belief. Gina has a particular passion for the teaching of Maths and Reasoning.
As the Head of 11+ at a local independent school and the organiser of a highly regarded secondary schools fair, Gina has built excellent relationships with admissions teams at many leading day schools across London and Surrey. Her extensive knowledge of the admissions landscape enables her to offer families valuable insight and guidance throughout the 11+ journey.
Having guided her own two children through the 11+ process, Gina understands first-hand the challenges and emotions that families can experience. She is passionate about making the journey a positive one for both children and parents, reducing stress while helping each child reach their full potential.
At our camps, Gina combines expert tuition with a nurturing environment, ensuring every child feels motivated, confident, and ready for the next stage of their educational journey.

Allison Judge, BA (Hons), MA, PGCE
English specialist · 15 years classroom experience
Allison Judge is an accomplished educator and English specialist with 15 years of classroom teaching experience spanning both the primary and secondary education sectors. Originally qualifying with a PGCE in secondary English, Allison's deep passion for the subject eventually led her to transition into primary education with a very specific, high-impact remit: to bring her rigorous secondary expertise directly to the 11+ preparation process.
Allison's teaching style is vibrantly fun, lively, and entirely pupil-centred. She believes that true academic success stems from intellectual curiosity and independence. As a lifelong lover of reading, Allison has a rare gift for eliciting genuine enthusiasm from her pupils for the literature they study and the creative writing they undertake.
Allison has a deep and strategic understanding of the ever-changing 11+ landscape, and she takes great pride in her ability to analyse the nuances of various entrance papers year after year to stay ahead of evolving requirements for the reading and writing elements of the 11+ exams. Allison particularly enjoys exploring critical thinking skills and Philosophy for Children as part of interview preparation.
She aims to shift the narrative around entrance exams entirely. Her ultimate goal is for every child to walk into their 11+ examinations free of anxiety and filled with a proud, resilient mindset: "I can't wait to show them what I can do."
Our daughter loved her lessons with Allison during the 11+ years. Her love of the subject and enthusiasm really engaged her interest, and I know it helped to get our daughter into the school she wanted.
Allison fostered a love of writing in both of our children. They were always eager to share their work with us, and it was a joy to see their confidence flourish.
