GCSE tutoring in Manchester
Manchester families, the whole team
Our tutors are not based in Manchester, and that is the point. Lessons are online, so your child is matched with the best suited tutor from a team of 39 rather than whoever happens to live within driving distance.
£30 a lesson, the same rate we charge everywhere, with a free 30-minute trial before anything is booked.
No card details for the trial. Change tutor at any time, at no cost.

The honest case
Why not just find a local tutor?
You can, and plenty of good ones work in Greater Manchester. But hiring locally means choosing from whoever lives within a reasonable drive, which is usually a shortlist of two or three, and none of them may teach the subject you need at the level you need it.
A shortlist of 39, not three
If your child needs A-Level Chemistry, they get the tutor with the Master's in Inorganic Chemistry. If they need GCSE Physics, they get the one with the doctorate. Geography stops being a filter on quality.
Greater Manchester is big
An hour of tutoring in Bolton or Stockport can easily become a two hour commitment once traffic is counted, bolted onto the end of a school day that is already full. Online removes that entirely, for you and for the tutor.
Lessons survive everything
Bad weather, a delayed bus, a house move, half term, illness on your side or theirs. An online slot at seven on a Tuesday tends to just happen, week after week, which is most of what makes tutoring work.
The trade-off is real and worth naming: nobody sits at your kitchen table. If your child specifically needs someone physically in the room, a local in-person tutor is the better answer and we would say so.

Across Greater Manchester

Subjects
What we teach Manchester students
Eight subjects, taught by specialists rather than generalists. Manchester schools use the same exam boards as the rest of England, so lessons follow your child's own specification and tier.
Maths
Fifteen tutors including three qualified teachers, covering Foundation and Higher tier.
GCSE Maths tutoringEnglish
Twelve tutors including a former AQA examiner. Language and Literature, both papers.
GCSE English tutoringSciences
Fourteen tutors across Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Combined and separate sciences.
GCSE Science tutoringComputer Science and RS
Seven Computer Science tutors including working software engineers, and eight for Religious Studies.
Browse all subjectsWe do not teach History, Geography, Business Studies or Modern Languages, and we would rather say so than take a booking we cannot serve properly.
Levels
Who we work with
From Year 7 through to A-Level, plus adults and apprentices taking Functional Skills.
KS3
Years 7 to 9. Fixing foundations before GCSE content starts, which is far cheaper than repairing them in Year 11.
KS3 tutoringGCSE
Years 10 and 11 across all eight subjects, matched to the exam board and tier your child is entered for.
GCSE tutoringGCSE resits
November and summer retakes. A resit is a different problem from a first sitting and needs a different plan.
Resit tutoringFunctional Skills
Level 2 Maths and English for adults and apprentices who need the qualification for work or a college place.
Functional SkillsWhat families say
Does it work?
Three reviews from families we have taught, quoted as written. None of them are from Manchester, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. The service is the same wherever you are, which is rather the point.
"Excellent tuition. Resulting in my son going from a 4 in mocks to 7 today!"
"My daughter just got 7 7 in her combined science GCSE. She was failing science until she started learning with these tutors. They explain in a way she could understand and they gave her confidence."
"My son started in the autumn GCSE term on a Grade 4. The RS tutor made him practice past-paper and short homework with proper explaination of everything. On results day he got a 7."
Individual results that particular parents chose to write about, not averages and not promises. All 34 reviews are on the reviews page, unedited.

Common questions
Questions from Manchester families
Anything not answered here, message us and we will tell you straight. We usually reply within minutes.
Are your tutors based in Manchester?
Not necessarily, and that is the advantage rather than a compromise. Lessons are online, so your child is matched with the best suited tutor from all 39 rather than whoever lives nearby. If you specifically need somebody physically in the room, a local in-person tutor is the better answer.
Do you have an office or centre in Manchester?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. There is no Manchester office and no separate Manchester team. Every lesson is delivered live on Zoom by the same tutors who teach families across England and Wales.
Do you cover my part of Greater Manchester?
All of it, including Salford, Stockport, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan. Because lessons are online there is no catchment area, so where you live makes no difference to availability or price.
Is it more expensive in Manchester?
No. £30 a lesson, the same as everywhere in the UK, dropping to £27.50 on a term plan and £25 on an annual plan. There is no regional pricing because there is no travel and no premises to pay for.
Do you know the exam boards Manchester schools use?
Manchester schools use the same boards as the rest of England, and we cover AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC with Eduqas. Send the specification code from a past paper or the course name and we will confirm which one your child is on before lessons start.
How do you decide which tutor we get?
Someone reads your enquiry and matches on subject, level, exam board, tier, current grade, target grade and the times you are free. You get one name and the reason for it, not a shortlist to compare.
What if the tutor is not the right fit?
Tell us and we will rematch at no cost. You do not lose lessons, restart a plan or pay a fee. With 39 tutors there is genuine room to find somebody better suited.
How quickly can lessons start?
Usually within a day or two. We normally reply within minutes and match a tutor the same day. The limiting factor is finding a slot that suits your child, and exam season books up faster.
