Tutors get top marks again
A PROFESSIONAL tutoring business which adapted quickly to the pandemic is celebrating after scooping a prestigious award - for the second year in a row.
A-Star Tuition Group, based in Ramsbottom, has been crowned ‘Tuition Group of The Year’ for Manchester and the North West in The Corporate Livewire Manchester and North West Prestige Awards.
The child-centred service enables six to 18-year olds to gain results that truly reflect their academic abilities. The business offers tailored learning programmes that suit every child’s unique requirements in a fun, welcoming and highly motivational environment.
In March 2020, owner Helen Wilson completely reinvented her business model to provide online classes, ensuring hundreds of children were able to continue with their education during lockdown.
It was recognised for the speed and success of its transition to online learning in response to lockdown, its results, customer feedback, NHS fundraising efforts and social media activities that helped families to cope with school closures.
Helen said: “In what has been one of the most challenging years of my teaching career, I feel incredibly proud of this achievement. I am thankful that I work with such wonderfully hard-working students, who have shown tremendous resilience, and resolve to succeed, despite the challenges.”
