Our Founder
I’m Niv, the founder of Mentoring Minds Tutors.
I still vividly remember sitting The Latymer School 11+ exams - the apprehension, the pressure and the weight of knowing how much they could shape my future. Those experiences stayed with me and they are a big part of why Mentoring Minds Tutors exists today.
With 14 years of experience tutoring, I’ve seen what truly works - and what doesn’t. I’ve watched students grow in confidence, achieve their goals and progress beyond expectations. Over the years, I’ve built a trusted network of experienced tutors, all with one shared aim: helping children succeed in the 11+ journey. My goal is to help parents find the right tutor for their child - not just any tutor.
As a parent, I understand the pressure of wanting the very best education for your child. As a former Latymer student, I understand how daunting the 11+ process can feel. And as a tutor, I know how to guide students through it effectively and compassionately.
Mentoring Minds Tutors is not a large, impersonal organisation. I work closely with every family and know each student and parent by name. I offer a truly individual service - personally tutoring some students myself and carefully matching others with trusted professionals who are best suited to their needs.
About our tutors
We work with a trusted network of qualified teachers and professional tutors. Your child will be matched with our founder, Niv, or a tutor who brings both expertise and experience to the table.
Our tutor network includes:
• Oxbridge graduates
• Professional tutors and qualified teachers currently teaching 11+ subjects
• Experts with proven success records
• SEN-trained professionals equipped to support neurodiverse and neurotypical learning needs
• Tutors who have personally passed the 11+
• Tutors with experience as examiners
• All tutors are DBS checked and based in the UK.
We believe the best learning happens when tutors teach what they truly know. That’s why every subject is taught by an expert.
