National Tutoring Programme

Harrogate Tutors, a part of the MME group, have been chosen as a DfE-Approved tuition provider for the National Tutoring Programme. Please note that only schools are eligible to participate in the programme, and enrollment must be completed through subject teachers, rather than parents. At present MME is providing NTP tutoring for maths, English, and science specifically for GCSE students. However, the programme may be expanded in the coming weeks and months. If you're a parent who is interested in providing additional support for your child, which is fully funded through their school, we recommend contacting your school directly and inquiring about MME as a provider.
