What students and parents have to say about Ashbourne’s Easter Revision courses
I’ve always struggled with Maths and Science but I actually felt I was top of it after completing the GCSE revision course at Ashbourne. The revision packs are great, with loads of past papers and topic summaries and the tutors make sure that everyone understands everything.
I had a lot of doubts about the course before I started. All the staff were very helpful but I couldn’t see how I could significantly improve my understanding in one week. I found though that the small classes and the clear and practical teaching have made all the difference and I’m really confident of getting As now. Exam technique was the best part of the course. It’s surprising how many marks you can pick up just by learning how to answer questions.
I wasn’t so happy that my father booked me onto a revision course over Easter but it was amazing! The teachers were excellent, particularly in Chemistry. When I’d finished the course, I understood so much more and the revision ahead seemed so much less daunting. The best thing was the amount of time the tutors are willing to spend patiently explaining areas I didn’t understand. By the end, I was wondering what exactly had seemed so hard!
I have just had my first mock since attending the Easter Revision at Ashbourne and my tutor has said that she can already see a major improvement. I will definitely come back next year!
My son came home happy every evening, and left happy in the morning, which is unusual for him! He has only positive things to say about the course, feels much better prepared and absolutely LOVED his teacher!
I found the course really interesting and very useful. I especially liked the course packs, they were really practical, and I feel a lot more prepared for my exams now.
I really enjoyed the programme as I believe it helped me a lot during my revision process and I would happily do it again for A levels. I was very satisfied with the courses overall. The structure was very beneficial as it gave enough time to do a lot of work and believed that I was actually helping my grades out and I wasn’t bothered to wake up early to do revision. I liked that there was many courses to choose from and the three course that I completed made me feel more confident. I would and already have recommended Ashbourne’s courses to friends and family as I honestly believe it was worth the money.
Choosing to study at Ashbourne College is one of the best decisions that I have made. All the academic tutors gave me a lot of assistance when I prepared for the exams and interviews, especially the Director of Studies, John Wilson and Principal, Mike Kirby, who pushed me a lot when I prepared for the Cambridge University interview
Academic excellence in a relaxed atmosphere! Small classes means that the teachers are able to give the students the dedicated attention that they need not only to succeed but also to understand the material taught.This is a nurturing institution that equips students with all the tools they need in future. I would certainly recommend this school to anyone – but saying this I do not want Ashbourne to lose the close knit family relationship that my daughter enjoys with faculty staff, teachers and students. So I want this to remain as a closely guarded secret!!
Treated with kindness and respect whilst being taught to grow as an individual personally and academically
Our grandson was very ready to make a huge step from recluse, out of step with his age group, not knowing what to do with himself or how to relate to others, many of whom he found terrifying. He found travelling on the tube terrifying and trusted few people. Ashbourne has never pushed him too hard but has always encouraged every step he has taken towards what was sometimes a big risk for him. He has learned to respect himself as a learner, to be realistic about his strengths and what he finds difficult, and is learning what to do about the things he finds difficult. He is becoming sociable, well informed good company, smiles 100% more than he did and travels to and from Ashbourne by tube without a qualm. He is punctual (or sends a message if held up). He is learning to trust the many good people he now recognises as on his side. He is very aware of how much Ashbourne has contributed to these huge changes and is looking forward to trying out University in September, becoming a student, knowing lots of other people will arrive by different routes. A real success story/work in progress. Thank you Ashbourne
I loved the casualness between teacher and student and also I loved the fact that I was essentially, the one responsible for myself and parents were not frequently contacted for any reason i.e to sign up for clubs etc. The responsibility- to turn up on time, to hand in homework on time, to revise effectively- all being left to me, really spurred on me to be productive and hard working. I hope to eventually be working in the city as a trader for a large bank, after doing this in the short term I hope to take money I have saved and open a fashion retail store that stocks up and coming brands in London somewhere. I genuinely feel like Ashbourne has given me the confidence i once lacked to be able to do this
Has been given the opportunity to study in a focused and mature way and has thrived in that environment
