Our Team
"Mya thoroughly loved and enjoyed her 2 years with Jo. Learning, growing and preparing for the 11+ was made enjoyable and fun through Jo’s kind and compassionate way of teaching. We thank you Jo and Sue for everything you have done for both of our girls in achieving great scores!"Andrea Dela Cruz – November 2025
The People Behind Your Child’s Success
When you choose Sue Chapman Tuition, you’re not signing up to an algorithm or an anonymous tuition centre. You’re entrusting your child to a dedicated team of qualified teachers who will know them individually, understand their learning style and champion their progress every step of the way.
The nine members of our teaching team each hold a teaching degree and an enhanced DBS check. Between them, they bring nearly 200 years of classroom experience and a shared commitment to helping every child reach their full potential. Sue is also the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and Steve is the Deputy DSL.
The business is managed by Sue’s husband Steve, who joined the team after 32 years of distinguished service in the RAF. Awarded a Queen’s Commendation for Valuable Service and subsequently with an OBE in 2015, Steve brings the same commitment to excellence to every aspect of how we run the business.

Sue Chapman Tuition has been preparing children for the Warwickshire 11+ for over 20 years. In that time, we’ve built a team that combines deep exam expertise with genuine, individual care for every child.
Our teachers – Sue Chapman, Sue Rees, Cathryn Armer, Ruth and Andy Empsall Walker, Michelle Jones, Jo Finch, Tracy Cirin and Nikki Heath – share a meticulous understanding of the GL 11+ curriculum, the exam itself and the specific question styles that children in Warwickshire will face. But what parents tell us they value most is the way our teachers make children feel: confident, capable and excited to learn.
Ruth was a fantastic tutor for my son in Year 5. She completely put him at ease during his lessons and made it fun and enjoyable for him. For something he was initially unsure about doing, he went into each lesson happily, which is all we could ask for. We saw his confidence rise throughout the year, he was so well prepared for the actual exam and took it all in his stride. Thanks Ruth!
