Kalifat, English GCSE Revision, April 2012
I’m so happy and grateful that I was able to do two days of studying with Progress tutors. They really helped with the areas I needed help in English. My teachers in school never had the time to cater for my needs specifically. Those two days were very helpful and I learnt where I was slacking immediately. In my English mocks I had achieved Cs, Bs and even a D. There was definitely something wrong. They helped me get back on track and succeed in my exam. In my real GCSE results I got a B in English Language and an A in English Literature!

Julie Rogers, Science GCSE revision course. 2023
Hi Maria, Just to let you know Emma got a 6 in her science GCSE after attending the Easter revision course with you. She was predicted 4 so we are pretty ecstatic with that result! We found the booking process and communication from the Progress Tutors team easy and comprehensive. We will definitely be back to use Maria and the rest of the tutoring team both for Emma’s A Levels and for our son’s GCSEs in a few years.
Chante Rusu, Science GCSE revision course. 2023
The teacher was very engaging and helped us understand topics well. We covered a lot more than I expected which will definitely help me in my future exams, this has also given me confidence. I have become more comfortable with Physics as practising the equations helped a lot. These courses go into much more detail than school work so I would definitely recommend it. This is because at school not all topics are covered properly, but having the time to go over things we struggle on definitely gives everyone doing the course a boost. The course was a lot better than I expected as it was much more relaxed and we could suggest individual topics that we needed help on. Giving up my holiday for this course was worth it as it has helped me a lot. Chante (year 10).
Natalie Tsaldarakis, English GCSE revision course. 2018 (Lisa in photo collecting her GCSE results)
Lisa got a 6 for English Language and a 7 in English Lit!!! Her last mock was a 3 because she wasn’t following the assessment objective, and was also too slow at the timing. Sara made a big difference with friendly, expert and targeted advice which also boosted my daughter’s confidence. She was very encouraging and knowledgeable and the way she guided her to answer succinctly in English also helped with the rest of extended answers especially in Religious Studies. Many-many thanks for giving her the skills to succeed!!! Natalie
Terry Dunn, Combined Science GCSE revision course. 2019
Going back to March 2019, my sister informed me that her daughter, Bella, was really underachieving in science; her mock grades were 3 3, however her target grades were 4 4. I therefore set out on a quest to find an outstanding & committed tutor for her, however there were lots of conflicting opinions regarding the agencies I had made enquiries at. But, I was highly recommended Maria’s company by a reliable friend and I have to honestly say that I wasn’t disappointed. Maria proved to be very caring and a wealth of information in all the dealings I had with her (and she was always willing to answer questions & give advice whatever the time of day; a rare quality these days I have to say). I enrolled my niece on the three day science revision course and this is the point at which I physically met Maria for the first time. Maria’s enthusiasm & organisational skills ensured that the day ran as smoothly as possible. In school, Bella’s science lessons mostly consisted of some teacher talk at the start followed by lots of textbook work (answer questions & make notes). But, what a different experience the course was! The revision course was delivered by a gentleman called Gareth; he covered ALL the content in an engaging way, used plenty of exam practice and was really effective at assessing the students. This, together with his humour, resulted in Bella working really hard (probably a first in science ever!), and enjoying her time there. Her words were: “The best science lessons & funniest teacher I have ever had.” On results day (August 2020), Bella achieved 4 5, but given more time I certainly believe that she would have achieved higher grades than this. So, thank you Maria for the professional (but friendly) service you offered, a company which rightfully has student progress as its number 1 priority. Kind regards, Terence Dunn
Zoe Azuka, Maths and Spanish GCSE revision course. 2018
The maths course was outstanding. Intense and helpful. I liked the way the teacher was able to explain things until you understood. Impressed with how many topics she went through. I now understand loci much better which I barely understood before. She went into detail and focussed on harder topics that will come up in the exam. There were so many resources available to us.
The Spanish course was an eye opener on how much harder I need to work. The teacher was encouraging, asked questions and never put anyone down. It was much less patronising than school. The bit that was most useful for me was learning all the tenses.
Sebastian Lloyd, Maths GCSE revision course. 2017
A rewarding experience. Small class sizes that made for an intuitive learning experience. The most useful part of the course was covering almost everything in the syllabus in such a short period of time. The course was far more concise than personal revision and should contribute greatly to the notes I already have. An excellent course and an interesting building.
Update: Hi Maria, Just wanted to let you know I managed to attain a C grade in my GCSE Maths exam. I was re-sitting the exam as previously only managed a D so am really pleased. I found the Easter revision course very useful to bring everything together. Thanks for all of your help. Sebastian
Mahdi Sedeghi , English GCSE revision course. 2017
Hey Maria, This is Mahdi from the English group at Easter. I can say that I have achieved a grade 6 for English literature and and grade 5 for English language. This means that I have made huge progress as I was originally sitting on a grade 4. I would like to thank you for all your support. It was really a good booster prior to the exams. I hope we will meet again soon at progress tutors which was really good, from students to staff, all were respectful and kind.
Sammy Bilton, Maths GCSE revision course. 2013
I was very pleased with the extremely useful and informative help I received from the two day revision course I attended during April 2013. I was struggling with my maths and was sitting on a C grade for the majority of my GCSE course. However, I was instructed and guided by Joy, the course tutor who provided a great variety of resources and worksheets, as well as excellent guidance on the topics I struggled with. With this additional help I was able to achieve an A grade despite my target being set at a C a matter of weeks before my exam. His teaching influenced how I approached my exams and the techniques that I used. Thank you. Sammy
Annette Marcellin, English GCSE revision course. 2015
My Son attended the GCSE English Easter revision course in order to improve his grade in English as he was predicted two C grades. He described the course as brilliant and tutor excellent. He gained confidence and actually achieved an A and B grade in English literature and English Language. Thank you to Progress Tutors.
Leina Altai, English GCSE revision course. 2015
A mind expanding course guaranteed to increase both your knowledge and confidence. I was very impressed with the knowledge Sara had to offer as an examiner as many teachers say “I think the examiner is looking for” whereas Sara can tell you directly what you need to do and how to do it in a quick and easy way to remember. The course was excellent and ideal if you want to improve your grades.
Joe Morilla, Maths GCSE revision course. April 2012
The GCSE Maths course was good practice for the exam. I was told the quickest way to get to an answer and what gets the most marks. I was given a revision booklet to use after the course and given demonstrations of how to do everything. The course was excellent. I would like to take part next year.
