Online tutors in Manchester
Heights International Academy teaches Manchester students live online, one-to-one or in small groups, for GCSE, A Level and IGCSE. Classes are scheduled in UK time (GMT/BST), after school and at weekends, fees are shown in GBP, and the first class is free.
Greater Manchester is made up of ten boroughs, and many students travel between them for school or sixth-form college, so after-school time is easily lost to buses and trams. Online tutoring removes a second journey. The area's sixth-form colleges are a common route to A Levels, which means students may switch schools, and sometimes exam boards, at 16. Online lessons let students keep the same tutor through that change, and suit families in outer boroughs such as Stockport, Oldham or Bolton.

Where do Manchester students sit their exams?
Exam centres and registration
Students sit exams at their school or college. Private candidates in Greater Manchester need to find a centre accepting external entries, which may include some colleges or private exam centres; ask about fees, deadlines and coursework arrangements early in the year.
School calendar
Each Greater Manchester borough publishes term dates for its community schools, and academies or colleges may differ. Sixth-form college applications are usually made in the autumn of Year 11. GCSE and A Level exams run from May to late June.
Questions from Manchester families
Do you offer online A Level tutoring in Manchester?
Yes, we offer online A Level tutoring for Manchester students in maths, sciences, economics, psychology and other subjects, for AQA, Pearson Edexcel and OCR. Tutors follow your child's exact specification and use past papers and mark schemes. Lessons run after college or at weekends in UK time.
My child is moving to a sixth-form college. Can the same tutor continue?
Yes, because lessons are online, the same tutor can continue when your child moves from school to a sixth-form college. If the new college uses a different exam board for a subject, the tutor will adjust to the new specification and fill any gaps in content between the two.
How much does an online tutor cost in Manchester?
Our online tutoring fees for Manchester students are listed in GBP on our pricing page and are the same across the UK. The cost depends on the level, whether lessons are one-to-one or in a small group, and how many sessions a week you book. There is no travel cost.
Is online tutoring better than a home tutor in Manchester?
Online tutoring is often more practical than a home tutor in Greater Manchester, giving a wider choice of specialists without anyone travelling between boroughs. A home tutor offers in-person supervision for children who need it. We teach online only and do not visit homes; parents can sit in on lessons.
When is the best time to start GCSE tutoring?
The best time to start GCSE tutoring is usually Year 10 or early Year 11, when there is still time to fix weak topics before mocks. Starting after mocks can still help, with more focus on exam technique. Tell us your child's subjects, board and current grades, and we will suggest a plan.
