National Tutoring Programme

Courses and Exams, a subsidiary of the MME group, have been selected as a DfE-Approved provider for the National Tutoring Programme, which is exclusively available to schools and facilitated through subject teachers. The programme offers National Tutoring Programme tutoring in the subjects of science, English, and maths, and is currently aimed at GCSE students, though expansion is possible in the future.
