Feba A
Feba is a fantastic tutor,greatly improving my understanding of both biology and chemistry. She takes time on topics I struggle with and tailors her lesson around them, often creating presentations to help me understand the material better. She explains concepts in biology and chemistry thoroughly and always encourages curiosity. I have never felt discouraged to ask questions.
Furthermore, she has gone out of her way to support me beyond lessons including helping with my university reference which is incredibly helpful as a private A-level candidate. She’s flexible and understanding with lesson times accommodating to your schedule. Overall, her support is consistent, genuine and above what I expected from a tutor. Could not recommend more!

Maryam K
Amazing tutor. She’s professional and really knows her stuff. What I appreciated most is that she also helped me with communication — how to speak more clearly and confidently. She really understood what I needed, and that made a big difference because my interview preparation was quite specific. Highly recommend.

Liz B
Liz is an amazing tutor, our daughter is currently in her final GCSE year. Liz has spent time on understanding the gaps in her knowledge by spending time looking at her mock results, and then creating tailored sessions to close those gaps down. The sessions are at the right pace and Liz adjusts them on how quickly my daughter is picking the method being taught. Our daughter has come on massively with this extra 121 tutoring from Liz, and has really boosted her confidence.

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and have a great track record of helping students secure the grades they need for competitive colleges. They can focus on specific subjects, work on exam technique, and build your child's confidence to help them perform at their best.
My child hopes to study at the University of Manchester. Can a tutor help with A-Levels?
Yes. We have a fantastic range of A-Level tutors who can provide in-depth subject support to help your child achieve the grades needed for top universities. Many can also offer guidance on study skills and preparing for the step up to degree-level learning.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask any questions and make sure they're the perfect fit for your child.
How much does tutoring in Westhoughton cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have a valid DBS check or equivalent and undergo a rigorous vetting process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
My child is losing confidence. Can a tutor really help with that?
