Choice Home Tutoring

About Choice Home Tutoring

Choice Home Tutoring, an Associate Member of the bfa, was founded in 2010. With two decades of experience in education in its local area of Manchester, the company saw a growing demand for experienced and reliable tutors to work with students in their homes and help learners of all ages fulfil their potential.

From the beginning, Choice Home Tutoring has worked hard to make the process of finding and appointing a well-qualified and effective tutor as easy as possible for customers – whether that’s parents and their children or older and mature students seeking tuition for themselves.

The company’s approach means every student is treated as an individual, while a commitment to providing exceptional tutoring that’s tailored to the individual has seen Choice Home Tutoring go from strength to strength. Just as important, the tutors who partner with the brand receive a level of support that is uncommon in this largely unregulated sector.

Today, Choice Home Tutoring is one of the largest providers of tuition services in Manchester and the surrounding area. It currently delivers over 1,000 lesson hours per month during critical academic periods, with over 150 tutors working across the network.

How does the Choice Home Tutoring franchise model work?

One-to-one tuition is the company’s core business. Choice Home Tutoring provides exceptional private one-to-one tuition to students of all ages, predominantly in their own homes.

The company covers all primary and secondary education subjects, including adult learners. It can help learners who need additional support with their studies or those who require greater challenges in order to push ahead. Choice Home Tutoring can also provide tuition for those who simply want to improve or refine their skills in a particular subject area.

Choice Home Tutoring gets to know all of its tutors personally, so it can provide the most suitable tutor for every student’s needs.

• Workshops and revision weeks: Choice Home Tutoring offers a variety of school holiday revision and weekend tuition workshops at primary and secondary levels. These aim to give students an intensive boost to learning and aid with exam preparation.

Workshops and revision weeks typically have a specific focus, covering everything from entrance exam tuition and revision techniques to primary level maths and English or specific subjects at GCSE and A-level.

• Specialist tuition: In addition to this core offering, Choice Home Tutoring also works with other agencies, such as schools and Premier League football clubs, to provide bespoke tuition for individuals or groups with unique requirements.

• Special educational needs: Choice Home Tutoring offers tutors who specialise in helping students with dyslexia, autism or other specific needs.
