You can also apply to sit exams with our private examination centre.

Macclesfield Tutorial College has a proud history in education spanning 25 years. We offer an extensive range of GCSE, IGCSE, and A Level courses across most subjects from English Language to Modern Foreign Languages, to the Sciences and beyond. The College is a great place to learn, with courses delivered by experienced and enthusiastic teachers in a focused yet friendly and relaxed environment. We offer tutorial rooms to cater for one-to-one lessons or larger spaces for group learning, as well as a fully equipped science laboratory for practical work.

Technology

Technology plays an important role in modern education and is utilised throughout the College. Audio-visual learning aids, interactive whiteboards, online research and learning facilities are all available, with Wi-Fi throughout. We have a well stocked research library and areas for quiet study or revision. We are also able to offer the convenience of distance learning via online lessons.

Our excellent facilities enable the College to offer both individual and group tuition to full and part-time students and teaching at the College is always based upon the needs of the student. With tuition focused primarily on the needs of the individual, lessons can be flexible so that other commitments can be undertaken alongside studying. Individual tuition, or small classes allows for a strong focus on personal support and promotes a sociable environment; this builds confidence and leads to greater achievement.

Private Candidate Examination Centre

Most students enter the College to prepare for GCSE and GCE level examinations, but other levels can be catered for. MTC also serves as a Private Examination Centre for external students. We provide the opportunity to expand their potential career opportunities regardless of age or previous results attained.

Accessible and Flexible Study for Students of All Ages

The College caters to students of all ages. Students are typically from sixteen years old and upwards but places are also available to younger students. We also offer full and part-time places to mature students. If you wish to come and see what makes us so amazing, please contact us to arrange a time.

MTC Opening Hours – Easter 2017

Please take note of the following College Easter opening hours. The College is closed for the upcoming bank holidays on Friday the 14th and Monday the 17th April. Unless we have heard otherwise, we assume lessons will continue as usual during the rest of the Easter holidays. If you have fewer, or extra lessons during the holidays you will be credited or debited on your next invoice.

We hope you have a fantastic Easter.

Easter Revision Courses

Fitting in some additional study over the holiday periods can be challenging but the benefits are substantial. A structured revision plan can lead to a marked improvement on expected grades or examination results and, consequently, the options you have in front of you. An Easter revision course can really make a difference!

We offer revision classes in the main subjects and classes cover the following elements:

  • areas of the syllabus where the student requires additional support
  • examination practice – past papers and specimen papers
  • revision guidance
  • encouragement
  • examination techniques
  • motivation
  • expert help

What’s Included?

A typical course involves 6 hours of one-to-one tuition in a single subject, which enables our courses to be tailor-made for each student.

Tutors will be chosen according to their ability to cater for the students’ individual requirements. Any particular problems can be dealt with in depth, giving students much greater confidence in their subject/s. We will always do our best to organise the timetable to suit individual needs.

Please see our Revision Courses page for further detail: MTC Revision Courses

National Apprenticeship Week 2017

It’s the 10th National Apprenticeship Week!

For many young people, an apprenticeship is an attractive alternative to going to university.

There are many reasons why you may choose to undertake an apprenticeship. For many, the fact that you can earn while you learn and gain financial independence is the key benefit. There are many other benefits though, such as learning in a way that is best suited to you through hands-on experience on the job, getting paid holidays, receiving training and gaining qualifications, learning job-specific skills, making valuable contacts, and impressing future employers.

What do you need in order to do an apprenticeship?

Employers might ask for two or more GCSE grades (A*-C) or equivalent. For some intermediate apprenticeships, however, you might not need any formal qualifications. If you don’t have GCSEs in English and Maths, though, you’ll usually be required to take a basic numeracy and literacy test.

National Apprenticeship Week runs from 6th to 10th March 2017.
