How it Works
We offer GCSE courses in Maths, English (Language or Lit.) or the Sciences: Biology, Physics or Chemistry. They are suitable for both mature students and home educated pupils.
The courses start at any time to suit you - Students commencing study now will, normally, take their examinations in Summer 2019, or beyond, as appropriate. The exam board is Edexcel - the largest such organisation in England. Details of the syllabuses can be see on the website - but we give you all syllabus details along with your study programme. (see Links). Since we work efficiently and keep our costs to an absolute minimum, we can offer fees at a special low rate: Each GCSE course costs £275. (Option: £98 deposit then 4 instalment payments, £48 per month). We are confident that this is the best value home study available. (see Links).
As soon as we receive your Registration we send you some written work to do. Don't worry about preparing for this, it's for your tutor to assess your initial knowledge; from there they set out a suitable programme of study. In main body of the Course you will be doing tasks & assignments and getting the marking & advice you need. The marking we provide is very detailed so you can learn, improve and move on. Individualised follow-up tasks are set to address your weaknesses.
At all stages you can - and should - ask questions of your tutor.
Nearer the time of the examinations you will do Past Papers.
