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

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.

My daughter has just passed her maths GSCE after scoring a U on her mock exam. She started tutoring with Jane Keating in February 2023 and Jane really understood what she was struggling with and literally worked wonders. Thanks so much Jane, you've been amazing and I would definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a maths tutor.

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.

I am so grateful to Shweta for supporting my daughter in her 11plus journey.I felt that was the best decision I made, to take my daughter to her.She not only motivated her by providing such a conducive learning environment in her group tuitions that built her confidence, but she also continuously guided me . Shweta was always available for the feedback and correct guidance.The constructive feedback always kept me going,that is what parents need during the crucial months of preparation. Shweta,I really respect you for all you did for us.This would not have been possible without your efforts. Thanks a lot dear.

Shweta is a great mentor she is able to train my boy to find the ways to tackle any problems in 11+ exam without pressures. Thanks for her effort that gratefully my boy can get into his dream college finally. Looking forward her guidance of my little boy next year. Highly recommend. 👍🏻😘

Shweta is very kind and responsive, always providing useful advices to panic parents handling 11+ like me. Although her schedule is full, she guided me how to give exercises to my son and help me arrange 1:1 lessons with James. Highly appreciated for James' great help. He is very patient and know how to encourage kids to keep on learning. He is also very willing to match the schedule for lesson with us. In addition, he could guide my son on how to do better writing, which is not easy but James tries to improve it day by day. My boy behaves particularly good in James' lesson and likes him so much. We will leave James to continue guiding my boy for building the foundation even after 11+ journey. Highly recommended both Shweta and James.

My son had tuition lessons from Shweta and from the very first few sessions with her I saw a massive improvement in his confidence, motivation to learn and understanding of various mathematic and English topics. Shweta is very supportive and caring towards her students. She has a calming, patient and nurturing personality and she really took her time to get to know my son and get him up to speed again especially after going back to school after lockdown restrictions lifted. Shweta worked on his strengths and strengthened his weaknesses to improvements. I would 100% recommend Shweta for all types of tutoring she is the best tutor I have ever come across.

Working for the Tutor Trust as a primary school tutor has been the best experience. Helping underprivileged children build their confidence in English and Maths is just brilliant to see, and great to be a part of. The Tutor Trust is flexible work and fits perfectly round university studies. As well as being great in school experience if you are hoping to become a teacher one day! I would recommend this job to anyone who is a hard worker, respectable, kind and has the urge to help young people.

I’ve been working as a Secondary English Tutor at The Tutor Trust for nearly a year and it has been such a rewarding role. As a student, the excellent pay and flexible hours were perfect for my hectic schedule during the final year of my university studies. The assignments offered to tutors are varied and accessible, and the staff have great communication and offer support on assignments and valuable feedback on lesson plans. There are also plentiful opportunities for career development, such as the Advanced Tutor Pathway, Brand Ambassador work and great links with TeachFirst. I can’t recommend working for The Tutor Trust enough to my course mates, friends and family.

The Tutor Trust offer a really competitive rate of pay, with pay for planning added on also. Tutoring with The Tutor Trust has been a really big part of my university experience, and I have nothing but good things to say about the charity :)

I just wanted to thank Abdus and his team at Kumon Ashton-under-Lyne. My son attended there and I was impressed how quickly he developed his english and maths skills. Thank you Abdus for nurturing my son's existing interest in maths. Though it is hard work and requires a daily commitment, it certainly helped with my son's confidence as well as promoting discipline to self study. It also helped my son get into the selective school of our choice.

The Kumon maths program has been a game changer for my daughter. She used to struggle with maths at school, but from her first year at Kumon she understands so many new concepts that she didn't before and has really developed her problem solving skills. She is now much more confident in her maths ability, and she actually enjoys it!!

Rating: 5 / 5

My daughter has been attending Kumon in Ashton for a year and I have seen a huge improvement in her maths skills and her confidence. Abdus runs the centre in an organised way with a well equipped classroom and gives feedback to me whenever I ask. Thank you to all at the Ashton centre for your support!

I was hesitant to sign my son up for Kumon because I thought it would be too much work for my son, but I was wrong. My son enjoys the challenge, and he is making great progress and somehow I dont even need to remind him to do his daily worksheets!! The programme is structured very well and he is getting ahead of school now which is motivating him to complete his work even though it is now things he hasnt even learnt in school yet

Michelle is an amazing biology tutor! She helped me understand topics I found difficult during my A levels. She teaches in a way that makes the topic fun and easy to understand. She’s a great tutor!

Michelle was such an amazing A-level biology tutor, really helped me get to grip with the topics I was struggling with and made sure I understood everything. I improved so much after having her !!

Michelle has been so positive for my daughter, in just a few sessions she consolidated all the chemistry grey areas and now my daughter is going into her GCSEs so confident. More than anything she made it fun and so easy to learn. Thank you 😊

Michelle is an amazing biology tutor. She tutored my daughter for year 13 and she really helped her confidence and understanding and she got an A* in her A level. Can’t recommend her highly enough.

We have used Choice for Maths and English tuition for GCSE. From the outset, it felt as if care had been taken to understand our needs and match the tutor specifically to us. Both tutors have been absolutely lovely and I have seen my daughter’s confidence grow significantly in both subjects. On top of that, all the administration around invoicing etc is also very efficient and accurate. I would definitely recommend Choice to others and will use them again in the future.

We contacted Choice Home Tutoring when it became apparent our son was struggling to get to grips with his Biology A-Level course. We were put in touch with Helen who from the outset was incredibly warm and encouraging and she kind of just demystified the subject for him! With her support and expertise, it all started to click into place and he actually achieved an A in his final results last month. Needless to say he was chuffed to bits!

Choice tutoring ( Kirstie) took my twins on several grades from mocks to GCSE French and Spanish. Great in person / at home tutoring. She was reliable and patient and gave them the confidence needed to tackle exam conditions . Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 / 5

Choice Home Tutoring really made the difference as the tutors helped my son pass the 11+ exam and the entrance exam for Manchester Grammar School. At the beginning Jo made sure that we had a tutor that was compatible with our needs and as a result our son greatly benefitted from start to finish. I have found the tutors to be very amicable, knowledgeable and professional so I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Helen and her team are just wonderful. My daughter felt so supported throughout this entire 11+ journey/process. It is so much for a 10year to undertake but Helen and the team make it easy. The group sessions made tutoring fun and supportive. My daughter has made so lovely friends and hopes to see them again in the future. She felt prepared for the 11+, not only academically but emotionally. They are always only a text message away for any advice or support you need as a child or a parent going through the 11+. My son also attends learn north west for year 4 curriculum tutoring and again I can’t fault the service they provide. Highly recommended!

Rating: 5 / 5

Helen and her team have been fantastic throughout the 11+ preparation for our daughter. Initially, we were sceptical about choosing group sessions over one-to-one tutoring, worrying that it might not offer the same level of attention. However, we made the decision knowing our daughter would enjoy the group setting more — and she did. • The group lessons created a supportive and engaging environment where she could learn alongside peers, which made the process more enjoyable for her. • The tutors quickly identified her strengths and areas for improvement, providing focused support within the group. • We saw her confidence grow as she felt more comfortable and prepared for the exams. • The team was always available for any questions or concerns we had, making the experience easier for us as parents. We are grateful for the attention and support they provided. The group format really worked for us, and it resulted in my daughter exceeding the required score for the Grammar schools in the area.

Our son has loved his time with Helen and the team. He genuinely looks forward to the sessions which I think is half the battle sometimes! I can see a vast improvement in his confidence towards his school work and pending exams. I would not hesitate to send our other children to LNW in the future and recommend to all. Thank you Helen and team :)

I have used and continue to use Learn North West for both my boys. We’ve done mock exams, summer school, dyslexia tuition and KS3 group sessions. All the team we have come into contact with have been really friendly, professional and knowledgeable. My boys enjoy attending sessions at the centre and they are having a positive impact on their results in school but more importantly is the impact it is having on their confidence in the subjects. I would highly recommend Learn North West.

I have noticed a significant boost in her confidence when tackling maths problems, thanks to your encouragement and Patience. Once again, thank you so much for all your support which helped her in passing the 11+ successfully with great score.

My daughter enjoyed going to John's tuition each week. The classes were tailored to her own learning journey, and the tuition style was very calm and patient, covering all subjects required to get ready for the 11+ examination. My daughter passed the 11+ exam which is a great credit to John and Michelle's hard work and dedication. Thank you so much!

John tutored our daughter over the past two years and she has really enjoyed her sessions with him. She recently passed her exam and we were very pleased with the way John prepared her for the exams. John and Michelle have always been very friendly and welcoming since our son also came for tutoring a few years ago. We would highly recommend John Cashin A*Tuition.

John is very patient and kind tutor. Our daughter enjoyed all her sessions and both John and Michelle made her feel very welcome. She left every session with a smile and passed all her grammar school exams with very high scores. Thank you John and Michelle!

We've had a fantastic experience at this Kumon Centre in Altrincham run by Mr Syed Mahmood. I've found him to be a highly experienced teacher and he's always very approachable. He's always willing to coach and give extra time to help your child out in any way. The rest of the tutors are all very kind and helpful. The teaching is amazing and of a very high standard. There's constant feedback given to the parents on a weekly basis. I would recommend this centre to family and friends.

I am absolutely thrilled with the outstanding experience my child has had at Kumon From the moment we enrolled, it has been nothing but positive, nurturing, and educational. The dedicated team of educators at Kumon goes above and beyond to create a warm and inviting learning environment. Their passion for teaching is evident in the way they engage with each child, tailoring lessons to meet individual needs. My child has not only gained academic skills but has also developed a genuine love for learning. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, striking a perfect balance between academic rigor and creative exploration. The interactive and hands-on approach keeps the children excited and eager to participate in class. I appreciate the emphasis on building a strong foundation in core subjects while fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Moreover, the communication between the staff and parents is exceptional. Regular updates on my child's progress, along with insightful feedback, have allowed me to actively participate in my child's educational journey. The facilities are well-maintained, providing a safe and stimulating space for learning. The positive atmosphere at Kumon not only promotes academic growth but also encourages social development and teamwork. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Kumon to any parent seeking high-quality tuition for their child. The caring staff, engaging curriculum, and commitment to fostering a love for learning make this center truly exceptional. Thank you, Kumon, for making a positive impact on my child's education!

Syed at the Kumon centre has been great with both our children aged 7 and 10 and we've seen a clear improvement in Maths and English over the last few years. Daily work which is done on the ipad makes it easier and work is marked each day by Kumon for quick feedback. Thanks, Matt (Kumon member - 5 years!)

My daughter started kumon a year ago, she was at the beginning of year 4, it was the best decision I’ve made she improved so much in maths, she became more confident at school and all her results went higher. I can’t recommend more, Mr Syed is the best teacher he’s very kind and helpful and so are the other tutors. I think this kumon centre is the best because of him. Thank you so much for helping my daughter improve!!!

Tim and Dolores tutored by daughter from the start of year 5 (2021) for her grammar school entrance exams (Sept 22). They both did an incredible job and not only did my child pass for the school she wanted, her confidence and self belief were elevated with their support. The learning environment is lovely and lessons are very well structured. There is also plenty of work to get through including online homework. You also have the opportunity to speak with your tutor at the end of every session where valuable feedback is provided. I highly recommend Kip McGrath Altrincham and I’m so grateful for the support and care they provided to my daughter. Juanita

My daughter has been attending lessons at Kip McGrath in Altrincham for 2 years for English GCSE. It has tremendously boosted her confidence in the subject and has positively pushed her to improve and has taught her valuable skills for her to achieve top grades. Thank you to Vivienne and Tim for all your help.

My eldest daughter has received tutoring from Kip McGrath in Altrincham over the last year and the service has been exceptional. Tim, Vivien and Dave have supported her throughout, gone the extra mile and most importantly, her grades in both GCSE Maths and English have improved. When my daughter first started tutoring her confidence was quite low and it was impacting her work. The team worked to understand her style of learning, then encouraged her through feedback and praise which gave her a real boost. Thank you for everything, we’re very grateful. We’ll let you know the results when they come through!

I can't rate Kip Mrgraph, Altrincham high enough. My eldest daughter attended for a year and more than doubled her academic achievements. My youngest daughter still attends and she can't wait for her personal tutored session. Tim and his team are warm, welcoming and most of all support the children to embrace learning in a way that focuses on the children's strengths and needs. Thank you so much for your hard and dedication Tim
