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.
I see Ashbourne as a place which I feel comfortable to express myself and it creates an environment that encourages me to develop as a leader. I am constantly looking for ways to improve. I am determined to continue to develop myself and I know that this is made more attainable with Ashbourne’s fantastic support and encouragement. I am very lucky to find myself at Ashbourne. It is a truly remarkable place to work.
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
My time at Ashbourne was incredible! I made lifelong friendships and learnt how to be independent and manage my time well. For me, Ashbourne was a stepping stone between school and university where I was treated as an adult but was still given the guidance I needed to achieve the results that I wanted to get. During my time there I learnt so much, not just about my subjects, but about myself. I came to Ashbourne with a dream to study Music at university and, I am unbelievably grateful that, with the help of the teachers at Ashbourne, I am now a second year Music student at Royal Holloway University of London, my first choice. I have genuinely never been happier.
Gained responsibility and independence and has a mature approach to their studies
During my three-year ride as an Asher, new doors opened up for me to a new world in which I found my true passion. It is encouraging independent learning while providing students with sufficient support when needed, along with its active, lively and friendly atmosphere that give Ashbourne its uniqueness. The location is great and adds to the liveliness of the atmosphere. As far as academia is concerned, the necessary platform for success in most subject areas one might be interested in is provided. The rest is up to the individual
My time at Ashbourne was everything I hoped it would be and more. In the space of just two years my technical understanding and appreciation of music have rocketed higher than I ever thought possible. Thanks to Piers’ outstanding and engaging teaching, I’ve fallen in love with opera and have now, since leaving Ashbourne, written my own, incorporating all the musical devices and tricks we learned about in lesson. So thanks to Ashbourne, I now have the confidence and knowledge to not only apply to my own shows but to the musical developing company called ‘Wishful Thinking’ I now work with as a creative development assistant. I cannot recommend Ashbourne enough for anyone with a drive and a passion to succeed. You will thrive.
