Andy van Terheyden, Founder & CEO, vT Tuition | Expert 11 Plus Tutor
Rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, Andy enjoyed a highly-successful career in UK schools as both a teacher and school leader, earning the National Professional Qualification for Senior Leadership (NPQSL).
Andy now leads vT Tuition’s 11 Plus online programmes for children in Year 3, Year 4, and Year 5, which make Maths, English, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning engaging. He also leads his highly-popular online holiday clubs, including Beat the Teacher! An astounding 96% of pupils who come through Andy’s tuition programmes pass their 11 Plus exams.
Previously, Andy spent 12 years working exclusively in areas of high deprivation, where he helped transform the life chances for thousands of the UK’s most underprivileged children.
Fuelled by a passionate belief that every child deserves a solid foundation in literacy and numeracy, Andy left school leadership to found vT Tuition, whose mission is to make expert 11 Plus tuition accessible to all children, regardless of their family's socio-economic background.
At home, Andy is a long-suffering Arsenal fan, and delighted Lionesses fan, who enjoys spending time with his wife and their miracle IVF daughter.

What Andy’s peers say…
“Andy is a superb teacher with a natural talent for teaching. He has a calm and patient approach, which leads to excellent quality lessons, and maximises progress of the children. Having worked with Andy, I cannot recommend him enough as I truly believe he is one of the best around. I have been lucky enough to be mentored by Andy and the impact and development on my own practice has been incredible. I still use strategies, tips and styles that Andy introduced to me in my teaching today. Not only an excellent educator but a really top class guy in and out of the classroom. I really cannot recommend him enough!”
