Sam Hargreaves Maths GCSE Former pupil of Tottington Specialist Maths & Computing College ‘This course has made me more confident and made a huge difference to my maths knowledge, I’m even using it on my motor vehicle course for measurements and converting units. I’ve been really happy throughout and the tutor has been so supportive, always on hand to answer any questions I may have.’

Savannah Thompson English GCSE Former pupil of Ladybridge High School ‘The tutors here are so helpful and supportive and I’ve found the style of teaching here really easy to understand. It’s important that I have a GCSE in English, as it’s essential for certain jobs, so this qualification is going to be really useful in the future.’
