SME News Northern Enterprise Awards 2023 / 86 Best Supplementary Education Enterprise 2023 – Central Manchester Chorlton Tuition Centre is the most popular of its kind in Manchester, and for more than 15 years now, has been successfully tutoring thousands of children across the region. The company is owned and operated by a Chorlton-based family, who have children in the local schools, making them the ideal candidates to run such a business in the area. Adamant on its promise that any child taken under its wing will be taught by a local, friendly, knowledgeable, qualified, and experienced teacher, the centre positively stands out in the field of professional tuition and is able to assist children aged 5-16 in Maths and English, as well as assist in entrance examinations for 11+. We catch up with Director Graeme Clarke, who tells us more about the business and its unbridled commitment to helping children thrive in an education setting. Schooling can be a difficult time for children, particularly if they struggle in key subject areas that are vital for future progression within the education system. Providing a remedy for this is Chorlton Tuition Centre, a company that has made it its personal mission to help those from Year One through to GCSE level who need assistance with numeracy, reading, or writing, helping those individuals who are falling behind, lacking in confidence, sitting their entrance exams, or studying hard for their GCSEs. Providing quality supplementary education to the children of Manchester, Chorlton Tuition Centre has been operating for nearly 20 years, spearheaded by Director Graeme Clarke. Like Graeme, all tutors operating under the brand are highly qualified and DBS checked, serving to provide peace of mind. Further adding to this is the business’ commitment to only hiring tutors who are qualified teachers, with students and recent graduates not permitted as to ensure the highest calibre of knowledge and experience is afforded to all clients and their children, irrespective of subject area. This is something that is ultimately unique to Chorlton Tuition Centre and serves to set it apart from other national tutoring organisations. Moreover, the centre is professionally equipped with a host of useful learning resources, with these extending to high-quality worksheets, modern textbooks, useful computer software, and a plethora of past examination papers and all the relevant stationary to give children an authentic education experience that is best served to effectively cater to their needs. All tuition is carried out on-site, in a centre that is more than equipped for successful learning, and an atmosphere has been curated which perfectly complements these conditions. Much of this fostered culture stems from the hardworking nature of the staff, and when recruiting new members, the team seek flexibility, friendliness, a non-judgemental approach, a keen willingness to learn and grow, and an innate desire to help all customers in achieving their goals and the goals of their children. Things all start with an initial assessment, which is undertaken by every student to identify areas of weakness and enable the implementation of a bespoke programme designed to target these areas effectively. An approach that is clearly working, the business has won numerous awards in the past five years, and proudly boasts the claim of being Manchester’s best-rated tutoring centre. On average, lessons last for 80 minutes and are split into shorter and sharper activities that are designed to keep focus and maximise what is being taken away from the sessions. Throughout term time, children on the courses often engage in one session of this kind per week, but they are of course welcome to attend more should they or their parents or tutors feel this would be beneficial. The learning does not start and end with the centre, as parents will receive feedback after each session on the activities done and progress made, with homework also given that is marked at the next session. Looking ahead to the future of Chorlton Tuition Centre, Graeme eventually plans to franchise the business and expand into new territories. Spurring on this desire for expansion is the success that the centre and wider industry has faced over the past year, with this perhaps being driven by the prolonged impact of the pandemic on the schooling system. Regardless of what the future holds, this Manchester-based tuition centre is sure to progress from strength-to-strength and continue to offer children an exceptional service, standing them in excellent stead for a prosperous future in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
