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.

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.

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.

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

Mark was my daughters tutor for over 12 months she lacked confidence and was apprehensive about having a tutor but after the first session she was keen to go back and subsequently went every 2 weeks for a year and then mark agreed to increase to every week to support her GCSEs He was flexible and reliable and so helpful she found his way of teaching much easier than at school and as a result has passed her GCSE maths !! .. she couldn’t have done it without him Thanks Mark

Would highly recommend Bury Maths Tutor. At the end of year 10 my son asked for help with Maths - he was really worried he was going to fail his GCSE. We contacted Mark and he started sessions in June 2022 - just an hour a week. Mark and my son decided what to cover based on the lessons he had had that week and ensuring he was confident. Towards the end of year 11 my son did lots of passed papers to ensure he had a good exam technique. We got my sons GCSE results this morning - he got a 5 - absolutely delighted!!!! All thanks to Mark at Bury Maths Tutor Ltd

Mark is a fantastic Maths tutor. He has tutored our daughter online for a year, and he is extremely knowledgeable. Our daughter has severe learning difficulties and school predicted that she would receive a grade U at GCSE. We received her results today and she achieved a grade 6 (B). We are so proud of her, but also very grateful to Mark for getting her there.

My son wanted to sit the entrance exam for BRGS, however we were late to the party and only had a limited number of weeks to prepare. We found Mark via the internet and we booked in for weekly sessions during the summer in the build up to the exam. I cannot recommend Mark highly enough, he made us all feel at ease immediately and my son actually enjoyed the learning with Mark. He worked through as much of the syllabus as possible in the short time they had, and taught him new, quicker & easier ways of achieving the answers. It did the job and he passed the entrance exam with flying colours.

I enrolled my son here when we first came to the UK. That was 2 years ago. He couldn't speak a word of English. Now with the help of school and extra support from Excel 2 Learn, the tutors and management, his most recent school report has arrived with glowing reviews and excellent feedback on his progress. Many thanks for your support.

My daughter was doing science tuition with excel. She enjoyed her lessons and really like the tutors. Taking these extra tuitions, helped my daughter pass her GCSEs. I would highly recommend excel as their prices are affordable.

Rating: 5 / 5

Excellent tuition provided and tailored to my child’s specific education. Great communication with Javid who is always available to respond to any queries and concerns. The fees are very reasonable as well compared to many other similar services. Would highly recommend!

I have been using this institution for many years, starting with my eldest son who is now studying in University. I have then admitted my other two children in this institution and have seen a massive spike in their grades and attitude to learn in school. I have seen their grades improve and confidence grow when going to school. I would totally recommend this tuition centre if you would like to see your child's grades and attitude towards learning improve.

Marek has been absolutely fantastic with our son! His teaching skills are first class and he has been a much valued support to our son as he has studied for his maths A level through the Covid lockdowns. Marek quickly put the technology in place(he could even see what our son was writing and make immediate corrections!) for him to deliver lessons virtually that were of a very high standard. We can’t thank him enough 😊

Rating: 5 / 5

I can’t thank Marek enough for all the help I’ve had over the last 18 months. My first lesson was due as the first COVID lockdown started and Marek didn’t waste any time in getting the necessary technology in place to make sure he could meet me virtually every week to provide an extremely valuable online lesson for A Level maths. He has a way of explaining very complex mathematical concepts, that seem alienated to me in class, in a simple but detailed manner. Without his help I can’t imagine I would be able to even contemplate sitting A Level exams. Thank you so much for your help and I’m going to miss our weekly catch ups.

Rating: 5 / 5

Online teaching worked brilliantly for me and the white board notes made during the sessions were extremely useful. Marek was great at explaining concepts, and giving me appropriate level questions to check my understanding and build my confidence so that I could eventually do the harder A-Level exam questions. Sessions were well planned to ensure we covered all the topics well before the exams. However Marek was also very willing to move onto or back to trickier topics I was covering in school. He was also happy to help me solve tricky homework questions. Knowing that I could always sort out any difficulties with Marek reduced the pressure in school lessons and meant I could understand and learn more effectively in school as well.

Rating: 5 / 5

Marek provided my son a ‘safe space’ to take his time understanding each topic of his A level maths syllabus. He was excellent at engaging and encouraging my son to aim for the top grades despite his disappointing school results. He reduced my son’s anxiety and increased his confidence in his own ability. My son always finished the sessions more positive and determined to work hard to achieve an A* , which he comfortably did in August 2023. Online sessions were arranged directly with my son but occasional we had to change these due to other school commitments. Marek always offered alternative times which was greatly appreciated , as was the extra support he provide during the long study leave before and between the final A level exams. Marek was also very willing to give me candid feedback on my son’s progress and potential which was really helpful.

My son is really enjoying the Achievers + Programme and is now 'working above' in all areas at school. Helen has a warm and supportive approach and my son is continuing to gain confidence within the group. Helen also taught my eldest son with amazing results and I am hoping she will continue to teach my younger son through his learning journey. I have really valued all of her input, support and expertise. Thank you so much Helen!

My son has really enjoyed attending the online sessions for the 11 plus Accelerator programme. Each week there is a different topic that all the children learn. During the lessons everyone gets the opportunity to talk and ask questions. Helen provides informative and enjoyable lessons. Helen has been a fantastic tutor for my son and has provided him with the confidence and motivation to put in the hard work. I would highly recommend A star Tuition Group.

Rating: 5 / 5

A Star Tuition Group is an exceptional tuition provider with over 17 years of experience in supporting and encouraging students through highly personalised and engaging tuition. The success of the students is a testament to the company's unique approach, recently recognised with the accolade of 'Best 11+ and GCSE Tuition Provider in Greater Manchester' - Northern Enterprise Awards (2024). A warm and welcoming atmosphere is fostered not only between students and tutors but also among colleagues, creating a strong, collaborative team. Led by Helen, a passionate and supportive leader, the team is made up of highly qualified and experienced professionals with many years of teaching experience. Her success is evident, with many students returning for tuition years after completing other programmes, such as the 11+ Exam Accelerator Programme, clearly demonstrating their trust in her expertise. From a tutor's point of view, it is a pleasure to work with Helen! I truly value how she bridges the gap between students, tutors and families, ensuring clear and consistent communication and support throughout the programme. She provides valuable background information on each student, such as their individual needs or circumstances, allowing me to tailor lessons specifically to their level. Her thoughtful approach not only supports students in areas where they need it most, but also creates a positive, engaging environment where students' successes are celebrated, boosting their confidence and fostering long-term progress.

My son started on the Achievers+ online programme last year. I’m really pleased with the results so far, I can see a tangible improvement in both ability and confidence. Learning materials are excellent, lessons are fun while maintaining a focus on learning objectives. Parent communication is great, my interactions with Helen coupled with the results I have seen so far give me the confidence that she really knows how to bring about the improvements I was hoping for when accessing additional tuition. Highly recommended.

Shazia and her team have helped both my daughters achieve entry to Bury Grammar. Shazia is very kind, supportive and intelligent and I strongly recommend her centre.

Rating: 5 / 5

I couldn’t recommend Shazia and Bury Tuition Centre enough. I have used them for both my children during the preparation for their 11+ assessments and they are both well ahead of where they need to be, not only academically, but in their confidence also. Unlike other group tuition sessions, here the teachers focus individually on each child’s level and work so we really feel like the sessions are tailored and they get the best out of their time spent. A friendly, caring and direct approach to learning is just what they needed to get them through the exams, and even after, they come back for sessions to ‘top up’. Perfectly located with easy parking which is a huge plus when running around after school with kids. And most importantly for us; they both feel very safe and listened to. Thank you Shazia!

Rating: 5 / 5

I would highly recommend Shazia and her amazing team. My daughter attended Bury Tuition for only four months prior to sitting the 11+ entrance exam and Shazia and the team gave her the encouragement, guidance and confidence to successfully gain a place at our first choice Grammar school. Shazia and the team are very professional and the level of teaching is excellent.

Outstanding! Both my children attended Bury Tuition Centre. They took maths and science lessons to improve their grades for GCSEs. After attending the Centre, my son achieved a grade 8 in maths, physics and futher maths. Then he got a place at a Grammar Sixth Form. My daughter has just got a conditional offer for the same Grammar Sixth Form with her predicted grades of 8 in maths, chemistry and biology. Fingers crossed, she will get them on her actual GCSEs. I sent my children to Bury Tuition Centre, not because they were behind and were not doing well, but because they wanted to achieve higher grades of 8 and 9. The teachers at the Centre are true professionals, passionate and dedicated. They really helped my children and it is proved by their results. Thank you so much!

Garry has been a great support for my son with his Math GCSEs, helping him to build confidence and retain concepts that he previously struggled with. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 / 5

Garry was professional and approachable. He was flexible and able to fit in around my son's timetable. My son found the lessons very useful. Garry was able to tailor the lessons to match the content being delivered at college. He is obviously knowledgeable with respect to the current learning outcomes of the exam board. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Garry.

Rating: 5 / 5

I found Garry through Yell and have been extremely impressed with his manner and professionalism. My Daughter was struggling with Maths and I wanted to help her get through her GSCE's. This was the one shot. Garry's easy going personality and teaching method ensured that he and Grace worked well together, even though the lesson was straight after school on a Monday! Having spoken with other people I have found that his hourly rate is very competitive and I would thoroughly recommend him if you need that boost for you or your family members. Thank you Garry.

Excellent tutor for my son. His knowledge of the subject is great and also he has been very flexible/accommodating on scheduling. He was great support to my son's A-levels Math exam.
