Years Centre Established

Bury Tuition Centre is an independent, teacher-led, bespoke learning environment where children and teenagers are expertly encouraged to achieve their full academic potential. It's also a place where they can develop self-assurance, a genuine love of learning and the confidence to be positive in their approach to exams. The tuition we offer for SATs, 11+, GSCEs and A-levels caters for all ages from five to 18. All of our programmes are carefully tailored to the individual needs of the pupil.

At Bury Tuition Centre we believe our pupils deserve the highest quality tuition, which is why all of our tutors are qualified teachers who have invaluable experience to share. Thanks to the intentionally small sizes of our groups, our pupils enjoy an enviable amount of one to one teaching time as well as computer and paper activities. They are academically stretched in a supportive educational hub where hard work is always rewarded.

Bury Tuition Centre is a long established (18 years) popular and successful tuition centre formerly known as Kip McGrath. We are still in the same location with the same high quality staff but now a teacher-led independent tuition centre offering a unique/ bespoke service where the requirement of the child is our No 1 priority.

Independent Centre

As an independent centre, we have complete freedom to target our extensive resources towards specific requirements, as well as the particular educational stage the pupil is at; whether its SATs, 11+, GSCE or A-level. Our pupils flourish because they are treated as individuals, and each one is taught using the teaching methods that are most suited to their own needs. This proven policy ensures the abilities of all pupils are always optimised.

High Standards of Teaching

Bury Tuition Centre's success is credited to our high standards of teaching and the value we place upon our individual learning programmes; we know our students greatly benefit from an educational plan that has been specially designed for them. A consultation and assessment of a potential students needs’ is a free service that is provided to anyone who enquires about a place at our centre.

What kind of student needs the services of Bury Tuition Centre?

Children come to Bury Tuition Centre for a variety of reasons, whether it be to improve a grade or receive further extension and challenges.

Each situation is different and that is why our bespoke, individual learning programmes are specifically created to make sure those needs are met.

A typical student may come for the following reasons:-

  • Primary or High School students who are having difficulty in elements of English such as reading, writing or spelling.
  • Students who are having difficulty in mathematics.
  • Students who want to prepare for entry tests and 11+.
  • GCSE and SAT exam students in Maths, English, Science and Languages.
  • Students who are aiming for A*/9 grades.
  • Students who need help in A-level Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics and English.

High-Class Written and Computer Resources

In addition to the teaching experience that we have, we at Bury Tuition Centre use exclusive materials and computer based learning programs, which are designed by highly professional teachers for us and follow the teaching methodologies of the Bury Tuition Centre.

SATs are taken at the end of key stage 1 (age 7) and end of key stage 2 (age 11). Both stages involve tests being undertaken in Maths, Writing, Comprehension and SPAG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar). The SATs are important because they will initially determine what sets your children are placed into at High School.

maths tuition

Maths Tuition

The initial assessment identifies the student’s main areas of concern. Based on the information gathered we engage both student and parent to then construct an individual action plan that breaks down mathematical concepts into small manageable chunks.
Every child is unique; therefore at Bury Tuition Centre we believe the key to success in Maths is finding the method, which will make sense to them. Our aim is firstly to build up knowledge and understanding of various principles and then show children how to apply this to practical exam questions.
