Who am I?
My name is Geoff Ashton and I own and run Ash Tutors (est. 2009), based on the convergence of Wigan, Warrington and St.Helens. I'm a primary school teacher (and Private Tutor!) with over 20 years of teaching experience, and I pride myself in operating a modern, 'virtual' office, focusing on quality of private tutors, efficiency of service, the effectiveness of our private tuition, and a set of firm family values entwined with a love of learning.
Many service providers make the overly-used claim of 'going the extra mile'. For me though, this is at the very core of what I do, and I am continually looking for ways to increase the 'value' clients receive from us.
This can be evidenced by the unique Tuition Packages we offer, which I am constantly adding to. It can also be seen in the advice I send out in my blog; the regular reviews I ask for; the comprehensive client and tutor referral scheme; the free stuff for parents to name but a few!

How are we different?
Hopefully, by now you can see that we really ARE different! But there are many private tuition 'directories' out there - please DON'T confuse my company with a directory! The vast majority offer merely a 'shop window' for private tutors, and they make their money from simply putting private tutors and clients in touch with each other, then have little else to do with it. We, however, offer a fully comprehensive package from start to finish. Take a look at some reasons why our clients stay with us for years:
- You will be dealing with a practising and experienced teacher right from the first contact.
- You will be advised by a teacher on which private tutor will be the most convenient to you, but more importantly the best match in terms of teaching skills and experience to cater for the student's needs.
- All our private tutors on the Meet The Team pages are fully screened and have proven their reliability, teaching skills and professionalism to me. Because we and they are local to Wigan, Warrington and St.Helens, I get to know them better than a national agency could ever hope to.
- Most of my private tutors on the Meet The Team page have several favourable testimonials from our clients, and I keep in regular contact to ensure standards are kept high.
- All of my private tutors and lessons are fully insured against public liability and professional indemnity.
- There is NO TIE-IN CONTRACT - you are free to leave whenever you wish. We can do this because we know private tuition works!
- We are not a faceless, 'internet-only' company. My name, photo, address and contact details are on the site for everyone to see. (Email me directly at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. )
- We offer 2 tuition packages, and detail EXACTLY what you'll get for each package.
- We get many of our private tutors DIRECTLY from schools, so we know they are DBS checked, ID checked, checked for appropriate qualifications and subject to Ofsted inspections, as well as schools' own rigorous monitoring policies.
This is just a selection. Why not give me a call and see if I can help you? Alternatively, complete the Tutor Request form and I'll do the rest.
