What your child gets — every week, online or in person.
Three things Manchester families consistently can't find at the price point — and that we deliver as standard, not as a paid upgrade.
A specialist tutor — matched to the subject and the child.
We match a specialist who teaches that exact subject week in, week out, not a generalist who can 'cover' it. If the chemistry isn't right after the trial we swap the tutor, free, no awkward conversation. The same tutor stays with your child week to week — no rota.
A plan built around the gaps, not the syllabus.
Most tutoring quietly walks the syllabus end to end, including topics your child already understands. We diagnose first, then plan against the topics actually costing the grade. Lessons sequence around real weak points, which is why families see grade movement faster than 'do another past paper'.
A six-weekly written progress review.
Every six weeks the tutor sends a short written report: what's been covered, what's improved, what's still wobbly, the recommended focus for the next half-term. You see the trajectory in writing, not just 'the lesson went well' — and the founder reviews any flagged report personally.
Areas covered
Manchester families today — online only at present.
Manchester families work with us online today — the city is outside our in-person catchment (which sits in west London out of our Uxbridge HQ). We say so on the page rather than implying coverage we can't reliably offer. Greater Manchester is the region we hear from most often outside London, which is exactly why we publish a dedicated page for it: families here deserve a page that talks about local schools and local exam-board patterns, not a generic 'we tutor anywhere' landing.
Online lessons run wherever your child has a laptop and a wifi connection — kitchen table, bedroom desk, grandparents' house in school holidays, on a hotel-room desk during a half-term trip. We've worked with families in Didsbury, Chorlton, Sale, Altrincham, Stockport, Bury, Rochdale and the Manchester / Salford city centres; the page applies just as much in Wigan, Bolton, Tameside, Trafford and the Cheshire commuter belt.

In-person availability
In-person tutoring — not yet available, and we'll say so.
We don't have an in-person tutor base in Manchester yet. Our reliable catchment is west London (around Uxbridge); claiming Manchester would mean inventing coverage and matching parents with tutors who can't actually travel. The honest version of the page reflects that — and it means a Manchester parent landing here from search isn't going to be disappointed at the trial-form stage.
If your family specifically wants in-person tutoring, the cleanest answer is to see whether someone in your child's school's parent network already has a tutor who teaches in Manchester — or to ask us to flag your details so when we expand into a Manchester in-person base, you're on the early list. We'd rather earn that gradually than overpromise it.
Online option
Online with us, today — the same tutoring families across Manchester are getting now.
Online with us today is what most of our families across the country are doing already — including roughly two-thirds of our London families, who choose online over in-person for the flexibility (no travel, no missed lessons because of traffic, recordings of every session for revision). Online has stopped being a downgrade and started being the default.
The lesson runs on a shared interactive whiteboard: your child writes on the same digital page as the tutor in real time, the tutor annotates the working live, and questions don't have to wait a week because the platform supports async messaging between sessions. Recordings are available for every lesson so a missed week (illness, school trip, family event) doesn't become a lost week.
Local exam boards
Exam boards in Manchester — and how that shapes the tutoring.
Greater Manchester schools skew slightly more towards AQA across the core subjects than the national average; Edexcel and OCR remain widely sat, particularly Edexcel for maths in some independents. That's a soft pattern rather than a rule — once we know your child's specific school we know exactly which board they're on, and the past-paper practice matches the board they're sitting from week one.
We cover all three boards — AQA, Edexcel and OCR — as standard across all five GCSE subjects. The shared GCSE content is largely the same across boards; what differs is question style and topic emphasis, and that's where board-specific past papers earn their weight in the final months before the exams.
