Guiding Students to Success at Every Stage

Meet Helen - 11+, SATs, English & Maths Tutor

With almost 30 years’ experience teaching students in both public and private sectors — and as a parent myself — I know what it takes to help children thrive academically and build confidence.

At A Star Tuition Group, we provide personalised tuition that goes beyond school lessons, helping students from primary, through GCSE to A level, reach their full potential. Parents consistently report rapid progress, increased confidence and a love of learning!

The journey began with my own children. I realised that even in high-performing schools, children often need extra support to stay ahead. That experience inspired me to create a tuition service that bridges gaps, challenges the most able and makes learning enjoyable.

Since then, hundreds of students have benefited from our structured, personalised programmes. I am proud that A Star Tuition Group has been recognised with multiple awards for excellence in tuition, and parent recommendations have helped us grow into a trusted, multi-award-winning service.

A Star Tuition Group has grown, and I now work alongside a fantastic team of teachers delivering high-quality support in English, Maths and Science. Together, we help students who are anxious about upcoming exams but cannot get the support they need at school.

Our work has been recognised with awards for excellence. In 2019, A Star Tuition Group was named Best Tuition Service in Manchester. In 2022 we were honoured as Best Tuition Group in the North West. And in 2024, we received the accolade ‘Best 11+ and GCSE Tuition in Manchester’. It is a privilege to help children achieve their goals, and being recognised for doing a job I love is incredibly rewarding!

How We Help Children Thrive

Every child learns differently — and that’s exactly how we teach!

From the very first class, we take time to understand how your child thinks, where they feel stuck, and what’s holding them back. This allows us to tailor lessons that build confidence quickly and create real momentum.

Our sessions are calm, supportive and highly focused. Even children who feel anxious, reluctant or ‘not academic’ begin to relax, engage and believe in themselves again.

Parents often tell us the same thing: “My child actually enjoys the classes — and I can finally see progress.”

We know choosing the right tutor is a big decision. You’re not just looking for subject knowledge — you’re looking for someone who truly understands children, listens and knows how to help them succeed.
