Who Is Primus Education?
Primus Education is Manchester’s trusted tuition centre for 11+, SATs and GCSE success.
With hundreds of tutors and tuition centres operating across Greater Manchester, it can be difficult to know who to trust with your child’s education. Every provider promises results, experienced tutors, and personalised support.
What Makes Primus Education Different?
Founded by experienced educational professionals and based in Old Trafford, Manchester, Primus Education was created with a simple mission: to provide high-quality tuition delivered exclusively by qualified teachers who understand how students learn, how exams are assessed, and how confidence is built.
Today, Primus Education supports children across Greater Manchester through expert 11+ Entrance, SATs, GCSE Maths, GCSE English, and GCSE Science tuition.
Why Primus Education Was Founded
The idea behind Primus Education came from a concern shared by many teachers working in schools across the UK.
Despite working hard in the classroom, many students were not receiving the individual support they needed to fully understand difficult topics, prepare for exams, or develop confidence in their abilities.
At the same time, the private tuition industry was rapidly expanding.
Many tuition centres began relying on university students or tutors with limited classroom experience. While knowledgeable, they often lacked the training needed to identify learning gaps, adapt teaching methods, and support students with different learning styles.
Primus Education was founded to offer families something different.
Rather than employing part-time tutors, Primus built a team of fully qualified teachers with real classroom experience and proven success helping students achieve strong academic outcomes.
A Manchester Tuition Centre Built Around Qualified Teachers
One of the defining features of Primus Education is its commitment to employing qualified teachers.
Every tutor within the organisation has professional teaching experience and subject-specific expertise.
Our team includes:
- Former Assistant Headteachers
- Heads of Department
- AQA and Pearson Examiners
- Primary Education Specialists
- STEM Leaders
- GCSE Subject Specialists
This experience matters.
Qualified teachers understand curriculum requirements, exam specifications, assessment objectives, and the common challenges students face at different stages of their education.
More importantly, they know how to teach.
Knowing a subject and teaching a subject are two very different skills. Our tutors combine both.
What Subjects Does Primus Education Teach?
Primus Education specialises in supporting students during key academic milestones.

Many students join us aiming to move from foundation-level understanding to securing the Grade 7, 8, and 9 results needed for competitive sixth forms, apprenticeships, and university pathways.
Why Small Group Tuition Works
At Primus Education, lessons are delivered in carefully managed small groups.
This approach combines the benefits of individual support with the collaborative advantages of classroom learning.
Small group tuition allows tutors to:
- Monitor progress closely
- Identify misconceptions quickly
- Adapt teaching to student needs
- Encourage participation
- Build confidence through discussion
Students receive regular feedback, targeted support, and opportunities to learn alongside peers working towards similar goals.
For many families, it provides the ideal balance between effectiveness and affordability.
