Success means different things to different people, and grades do not define any young person or their future potential. And a 5 can be a super achievement, just as a 9 can. Just a sample of the feedback from our learners, as exams results have come in this week. We’re so pleased for them, and how proud they are of their accomplishments!

*Dear Kate, I just wanted to let you know that of the three subjects that D studied with you/Caitlin, he achieved a 9 in Geography, an 8 in Business, and a 9 in English Literature!! Caitlin might be interested to know that he also got an 8 in English Language. Overall, he achieved the best grades at the test centre where he sat his iGCSEs 🙂  Huge thanks and credit to you and to Caitlin for your teaching and resources.  With thanks and appreciation, T (and D)

*M got 9 for her Literature; together with the 9 from last year for Language she’s super happy!!!🥳🎉 Thank you Caitlin so much for your help and support🙏

*I just wanted to let you know I got a 9 in Business and 7 in Psychology! Thank you so, so much for the amazing teaching, resources and hard work that you put into every lesson. I couldn’t have achieved those grades without your help! I especially loved the business course and was so pleased to get a 9 in that!! I will really miss lessons with you, but I have been inspired to do Business and Psychology a level at sixth form this year. Thank you for giving me a love for these subjects and for making every lesson so engaging and using lots of real life scenarios in every lesson!
