I contacted Ash Tutors as I needed help with my 6 year old son who has been struggling in literacy. As a primary school teacher myself, I wanted someone who was as passionate with kids as I am and obviously it was setting the bar high to ensure his tutor met my high standards whilst I was teaching other children! I couldn't be happier with the tutor that Geoff has provided. Jo is incredibly professional, well prepared for every lesson and my son is already making tangible progress. His confidence has increased massively along with his self esteem and happiness. 5 stars from me and I already recommend Ash Tutors to other parents in a similar position. Jo truly is fantastic as what she does and I'm very happy I contacted Geoff at Ash Tutors.

I contacted Geoff recently as I need support for my son in his final GCSE year in all three sciences. Never having used 'tutor agencies' before I was attracted to Ash Tutors as it seemed to be a little different - smaller and somehow more personal. On first contact I was very impressed with the detail to which Geoff went in assessing our needs in order to find the most appropriate tutor. Geoff put us in touch with Gemma whose approach is absolutely fantastic - super efficient, supportive and positive, going to a lot of trouble, initially and as an ongoing basis to understand our needs such that detailed learning plans are developed from a very informed perspective. She is massively enthusiastic for her subject and her teaching. Her teaching and learning strategies are engaging, fun and everything I associate with excellent teaching and a good student experience. From first contacting Geoff / Ash Tutors I can honestly say that I have been very impressed with everything about them. Most importantly there is noticeable improvement in my son's engagement with the subject and there is early indication it's resulting in better grades.

Geoff was absolutely brilliant on communicating and adored the extra tips sent via emails to keep my son focussed. Dr Paul who was the tutor was also fantastic and my son made advanced improvements on his grade post the support provided by the tutoring. We wholeheartedly thank Geoff and Dr Paul for the value that was provided throughout. Absolutely great service and great tutoring.

I just wanted to thank Ash Tutors for the services in providing my daughter with English lesson. Rachel has been brilliant in building my daughter's confidence. They got on really well and my daughter felt really at ease with Rachel and looked forward to all the tuitions. I think Rachel has done a brilliant job and would definitely recommend her to help a child build confidence in studying English. My daughter strongly feels that Rachel has helped her leaps & bounds and without her she would not have felt as confident to tackle her English GCSE exams. Thanks again

Good Success Private Tuition is the best private tuition you can think of in Manchester, we came from Nigeria in 2022 and while we were waiting for school placement we enrolled my daughters in this private tuition to get them prepared for UK curriculum, I can categorically say this move made a difference not only they were able to settle in school, the foundation from this school made a difference till date, we have been receiving positive feedback from their school's aside from being the best in their various classes the morals and path to life they teach the children makes a difference. I recommend them to anyone in Manchester.

My daughter has been tutored by Good success since age 8 for 11plus , she passed with flying colours and got admission to Loreto Grammar school. And then continued her tutorials through high school until GCSE again passed with several A* and then for A levels and UCAT . I am very pleased to say this is the final journey and she has passed and got admission to study medicine at the university of Newcastle. The Support has been extremely great each step of the way . My sincere appreciation goes to Mr and Mrs Olowoyo and the tutors, especially Dr Jimi for their support in the past 10years . What a journey, but it’s all worth it in the end !. Once again thank you so much 🙏🏽.on behalf of my daughter and from me and my family God bless you ! Kind regards Mrs Akinrele

My son started at Kip in September 24, he was really struggling with GCSE Maths and English. He passed his last Maths mock exam and has now swapped over to English with Mark ready for his GCSEs this summer. He never moans about having to go and for a 15 year old boy I think that speaks volumes!

My daughter has been attending Kip McGrath in Ashton for nearly two years and I have seen a huge improvement in her English and Maths. She has become more confident and enjoys attending each week!

Rating: 5 / 5

My child has only recently joined Kip, but they absolutely love going. Mark is excellent with the kids, and I would 100% recommend it. After previous experiences with tutors where you get the feedback of "they are doing well," having the parent portal is fantastic as it actually allows you to see what's happening on their Kip journey.

I would highly recommend Kip McGrath, Elaine and her team, for helping your child if they are struggling a little. They approach the sessions with fun whilst learning. I've seen a difference with every session. I would highly recommend to give your child a little more confidence in the subject they are struggling with. It's done in a fun way so my son enjoys coming to sessions. Thank you Elaine, 40% increase is a massive difference in the short space of time we've been coming. Lovely to be able to have a brew and chat with other parents whilst waiting. Love the whole setup. Thanks again.

I cannot recommend Lee at Kip McGrath enough. My daughter attended to prepare for her GCSEs and not only did we see her improve academically but her confidence increased too. It is a warm and friendly environment, the tutors are very engaging with the students and we found that she looked forward to going it was never a chore. So much so that she wants to continue attending through summer to prepare for A Levels. I think Lee has been pivotal in ensuring she reaches her full potential. If you are considering getting extra help for your year 10 particularly given the disruption to schooling this year I wouldn’t hesitate in going to Lee at Kip McGrath

To everyone at the Ramsbottom branch. I decided to use Kip Mcgrath for my Grandson Joshua S whose Maths mock result was a little disappointing. He required a grade 6 to take his chosen A level. He started a course in mid March which was one evening per week specifically for Higher Maths. Within a couple of weeks he was showing a marked improved confidence and understanding of the subject matter. His first two exam papers he reported he had found them reasonably easier and he had managed to answer almost 100% of the questions. His last paper was a little more difficult but he was still able to answer 80% and attempted the remaining 20%. I am sure that, would not had been the case if I hadn't decided to choose the Kip Mcgrath programme. The tutors are very dedicated to the children and are completely invested in improving their understanding and knowledge. I believe this was the best gift I could have given my grandson and would 100% recommend Kip Mcgrath to any parent/grandparent looking to aid their children.

My daughter's confidence in maths has grown significantly since she's started her tuition with Kip in Rammy. She actually looks forward to her tuition every week and it's so wonderful to see how her attitude towards maths has changed.

Rating: 5 / 5

Lee is professional and friendly and it was easy to arrange an assessment for my daughter. He quickly understood her skills and weaknesses and picked out a plan to help her progress. She loves going to kip and she even loves doing the homework. She's always genuinely excited to tell me what she's learnt in her session.

As a GCSE Maths Tutor for Tutor4All, I can assure his top quality services 😉 Ask for the 'Top Tutor' if you want excellent GCSE Maths grades under any exam board 💯

Excellent tutelage for my 16 year old son who has grown in confidence in Maths very quickly and only after a few lessons. He did better than we anticipated in his GCSE mock exams and my son was delighted. Highly recommend this service and Zain (the tutor)!

A professional service with high teaching standards. My daughter is really enjoying her learning with Maryam. She is a wonderful tutor who is given my daughter all the tools to achieve. She’s kind and takes her time to explain clearly and concisely.

Rating: 5 / 5

I have tutored at Tutor4All for a year now and it has been an enjoyable experience. Tanzeel is professional and the communication is excellent. The process of being allocated students is very seamless and the pay is better than other companies. I enjoy being a tutor here and will continue to do so. I recommend this company to all of my friends or family members that are looking for tutoring services or to be a tutor themselves.

My daughter has been attending Top Grades for two years now. She’s moved up a maths set but more importantly maths has become her favourite lesson (previously her worst) and I’m amazed at how much she has grown in confidence. In her own words’I wish all the teachers at school were like Richard because he explains everything so well and I get it.’ She has recently started English too and Emma has been fantastic. Already supporting her with her GCSE prep and due to Emma’s extensive knowledge and training around dyslexia is able to teach and support my daughter in the best way possible. I can’t recommend the team at Top Grades enough!

Rating: 5 / 5

Highly recommended...after a just a few months with Richard, my son's increased confidence and understanding resulted in a pass in his maths exam. Comments from my son (not a maths lover) like "the lesson went quickly" and "I actually enjoyed that" coupled with the end result shows that Richard is the guy to go to if your children need maths tuition.

Rating: 5 / 5

Excellent tuition! My daughter attended weekly lessons to help her with English. She passed with flying colours and is now going to study T Level Engineering at Runshaw College. I would recommend Top Grades to anyone with a child who is looking to get extra tuition. Thank you Top Grades!!! Xxxx

I enrolled Liv with Top Grades during Year 8 as she was struggling with her Maths confidence. I thought was it too soon but she was becoming increasingly anxious about going to school on the days it was maths days. Richard has been amazing, Liv is now in year 9 and she is enjoying maths which was all I really wanted.

Chris is a great tutor for my daughter across various subjects. He is always very punctual, courteous, calm and has a good way to teach. He tailors his lesson to what is most important in each week.

Rating: 5 / 5

I can’t recommend choice home tutoring enough. Jo is extremely professional, caring and amazing with what she does. She tailors her approach to each child, she genuinely cares about individual experiences and she’s also really fun to be around which makes a huge difference. She is incredibly knowledgeable about what a child needs and who they will work well with. I have nothing but brilliant things to say about choice home tutoring and it will be the best money you can invest in your child!

Rating: 5 / 5

Jo is an engaging and attentive tutor. Jo tailors the sessions to my son's own learning journey, including lots of fun activities to support his learning. Jo is encouraging, supportive and intuitive to meet my son's needs. I would highly recommend her support.

Rating: 5 / 5

Milan is a brilliant tutor; he researched my son's syllabus and structures lessons to prepare him for upcoming school work. Milan is punctual, courteous, friendly and expert. He is able to explain the concepts clearly and is building a great rapport with my son. Thank you to Jo and Milan for a great service

I can't speak highly enough about tuition at KIP. My daughter has gained so much confidence in her own ability. She really enjoys learning at KIP, loves the tutors and has made friends there too. It's such a welcoming environment with the emphasis on learning at your child's individual pace. Regular assessments enable you to monitor their progress. I originally enrolled my daughter at KIP when she was in year 6 to provide extra tuition towards her SATs but because she enjoys it so much and her progress was evident, I decided to continue. KIP has also helped with starting High School too as her learning continued throughout the summer holidays.

My daughter really struggled with high school and has complex needs. She has been attending Kip McGrath twice a week. She is engaged in learning again, enjoying it and making progress. In such a short space of time she has gained back years of confidence that was lost in mainstream. Thanks 😊

We have been using kip McGrath’s since just after lockdown (so for about 2 and half years) and our daughter is now in her last 6 months of high school. She has learned so much while attending her sessions and her confidence has come on loads. I’m confident that all the help and support she has received at kip McGrath’s will make a massive difference when she sits her GCSES this year. I would recommend Kip McGrath’s to anyone who is looking for some extra tutoring for there children, the staff are so friendly, helpful and very professional 😊

My little girl was nervous about attending the assessment but she needn't have worried. Everyone has made my daughter and myself feel very welcome. There is a lovely relaxed atmosphere and all the staff have been very friendly and supportive. My daughter has only been attending her math session for a few weeks but we can already see that she is becoming more confident. She is even excited to complete the homework that is set and wants to do this as soon as she gets home from the lesson. I didn't know what to expect when I booked my daughter onto her free assessment. I was very surprised but pleased to receive a call from Sue to discuss what my daughter was struggling and what Kip McGrath could do to help her. I can honestly recommend this centre if you are looking for extra support for your child.

Kath and Graham are an absolute asset to those they teach ! Very student centred. They really relate to teens with ease. It has never been a chore for my daughter to attend each week. Looked into Kath, when my daughter thought there was no continuity in her learning due to staff absence at our school. Students go in happy and come out happy. Thank you! I would not hesitate to use you again.
