Thanking you and your team for your dedication in educating my children. I have seen such an improvement and they are all so confident now with their books and assignments.

Just to let you know, the exam centre was excellent. The team were professional and organised but also created a very friendly and supportive environment. I just remember that this time last year we were anxious about finding a good exam centre! Many thanks once again to the Wolsey Hall Team!

Wolsey Hall has enabled our family to remain working overseas even when our children hit the “exam years”. I have homeschooled my four kids from the beginning but was worried about how we would manage the GCSE and A Level years. Wolsey Hall has enabled us to keep homeschooling – I now have two doing A Level courses and a third doing IGCSEs with Wolsey Hall. Without Wolsey Hall, I really doubt whether we could have continued to work overseas at this point. Despite living in six different countries, homeschooling has allowed my childrens’ education to continue uninterrupted. Even more so during the current pandemic. I have worked with four online schools now and Wolsey Hall is by far the best in terms of the quality of the materials and learning portal, the response time from tutors (very important when someone is stuck on a Maths problem!), help from the Student Progress Manager and just all-round excellent customer care. From the moment you first contact them, the customer care is brilliant. I would always choose Wolsey Hall over another online school company – they are not all the same!
