In the study of English language and indeed literature, it is often said that ‘there are no right answers.’ The truth always boils down to context; the circumstances that lead up to and surround the learning of a new word or concept – we all learn differently and have arrived at the same point dependant on wholly separate and unique circumstances of our own. Most significantly, we all think differently and sometimes arrive at different conclusions.
This is the magic we need to harness when learning English as a subject.
As someone who has arrived at teaching later in life, I have a healthy appreciation of context. I spent my formative years growing and learning across the globe amongst many different cultures and climates, not just in the UK but in Dubai and Malaysia, studying the British curriculum on foreign shores. I returned to the UK, namely Yorkshire, to complete a degree in Creative Writing at the University of Leeds. I came to teaching later in life, having started work against type, developing firstly a career in the financial sector, and then subsequently moving into Project Management in the retail sector.
After meeting my science teaching wife, I decided to acknowledge my interest in English as a subject – as well as the enjoyment I earned from coaching and training people in industry – to change career and become a teacher. I received my second degree in Sheffield whilst ‘on the job’, working in one of the most deprived areas in the UK. Since then, I’ve been teaching in a school with results consistently above national average in an outstanding English department. This has given me a breadth of experience concerning subject knowledge, approaches to teaching and most critically, learning styles.
English, as a subject, draws from our individual experiences and asks us to translate our context to the written page. To tell our stories. I bring all of my knowledge and experience together to support the students of Wolsey Hall Oxford. I’m excited to connect with students in whatever situation they’re in and to help them achieve results that will enable them to progress through their journey.

I’m keenly aware of the power of education. I love discovering and rediscovering. I love considering different perspectives – not just in English but also in History, Psychology, Philosophy and Science. You name it, I’m interested in it! This passion for knowledge is something I’ve been told I pass on to the pupils I teach.
Language is power. Learning the rules by which you can manipulate language and gain a top grade can be life changing. It takes time and you will need to practise but it’s worth it and I’ll be here to guide you through.
Over the last 15 years I’ve been a teacher of English, Media, and Drama. English is my specialism and I love the way my subject is in two parts. In Language, there are rules to learn and apply, whereas in Literature, the words unfold themselves in so many different ways.
I’m very much a people person. For the past 14 years I’ve enjoyed working as whole school literacy coordinator, Key Stage 3 Lead and Head of Department. I’ve written plays which have been performed to acclaim from parents, governors and pupils. I’ve run multiple after school clubs for drama, media, reading, creative writing, calligraphy and more.
I’ve always been a GCSE examiner for English Literature and English Language. More recently being appointed as a team leader for English Language. The benefit of knowing the examination specifications inside out means I can pass on this expertise to you. Passing exams is a game of sorts, and I’m here to help you learn and apply the rules.
I have two daughters, aged 19 and 13, a husband who is also a teacher, and a very naughty golden cocker spaniel named Maisie. I’m taking a break from the classroom right now and spending some well-deserved quality time with my family. This means I get to work with you, and all the wonderful people at Wolsey Hall Oxford. I get to share my love of English and guide you as you meet and conquer the challenges of this amazing subject. Whether it be looking at the rules of the apostrophe or zooming in on the multifaceted meanings in poetry by Shakespeare, Hardy or Owen, I can’t wait to meet you.

I came to teaching later in life, having had a career in the travel industry that allowed me to travel the world and get paid for it.
I have always had a passion for Literature and the theatre that was instilled in me through my own education. Throughout my teaching career, I have taught English Language, Literature, Drama and Media Studies. My great passion is the theatre, notably Shakespeare. I was fortunate enough to gain my MA in Shakespeare and Education from the Shakespeare Institute in Stratford upon Avon. I have been appointed to the education committee of The British Shakespeare Association.
Understanding English Language and Literature is the key to accessing so many other subjects. The analytical and presentational skills the study of English offers can set you up for any future career. Part of my first degree included History and I love the links that can be made with History and Literature.
My teaching experience ranged from senior comprehensive to large independent schools. Every Summer, I spend time in Oxford with a group of American teacher trainers discussing and lecturing on the variations in teaching English Literature in the two countries.
For most of my teaching career, I tutored from home and supported parents who were homeschooling. I firmly believe that there is a different educational route for each individual. It is our job to find a way for that person to access education. There is nothing more rewarding than that “light-bulb” moment. The best decision I made several years ago was to leave teaching in school and focus on tutoring and examining; this decision led me to Wolsey Hall Oxford, where I work with students studying English Language, Literature and History.
I am a Senior Examiner for GCSE, IGCSE and A Level. I appreciate the understanding of the student at the other end of the paper that this gives me. I am still surprised by some of the amazing interpretations I get to read of texts that I thought I knew well.
I have two grown-up children; a son who is a Biochemist but loves to read and a theatrical daughter who loves Shakespeare too. So, along with our two cats and a dog called Gatsby, we are very busy. But we always have time for Literature and theatre. I volunteer at The Globe Theatre in London and spend far too much money on theatre tickets. I am involved with local community theatre and have worked on various productions, including Phantom of the Opera, The Importance of Being Earnest, An Inspector Calls, The Great Gatsby, and several Shakespeare productions over the years.
I am really looking forward to working with you.

I have loved books all of my life. Yes, I am what they call a bookworm and the smell when you turn the first page of a new book is absolute heaven! For me, the ability to see and escape into other worlds makes reading and literature exciting. Through reading, I have been able to travel around the world and into other worlds. Sharing my passion for reading is one of the reasons I went into teaching. It is the most wonderful thing when I can support students to find an enjoyment and appreciation for reading and literature too. I believe that reading is the gateway to learning and education.
Having taught English for over twenty years, I have had the privilege of working with many students and inspiring a journey of discovery in their learning. Delving into the worlds of many different writers, times and genres, and showing students how literature enables us to understand and appreciate the perspectives and experiences of others, is what inspires the joy of studying English. In addition, guiding young people in finding different ways to learn and study is vital to the support for any student. I believe that every student wants to learn. Sometimes the journey can be difficult and bumpy, but I love having the opportunity to find the key to open up every student’s learning journey. I always strive to ensure I explore all avenues and methods so that each individual can reach their full potential.
As well as teaching, I am a GCSE Examiner, and I tutor students from Key Stage 2 (Upper Primary Level) to A Level. Being an examiner has given me a greater understanding of the exam and the experience of the student. When I am marking papers, I am in awe of what students can achieve in timed conditions, as well as the interpretations and creativity that they are able to demonstrate. As a Tutor, I can provide an individual and personalised approach to learning that supports and develops each student.
Outside of teaching, it is a given that I love reading a good book! I also enjoy walking in our wonderful countryside, travelling the world and exploring different destinations, and dipping my toes into open water swimming. Being outdoors and around nature is very important to me and allows me to appreciate the wonder of our world.

I took my BA in English Language and History at the University of Manchester followed by a PGCE. And I’ve been teaching English and Drama in schools since 2011. While at college, I volunteered to run a writing club and a drama club for the ‘littluns’ where we had put on shows for the members’ parents (my favourites were Shrek and King Lear the Comedy). I also liked giving speeches and taking part in debates, so teaching seemed an obvious career choice for me.
I have always encouraged my pupils to take an active approach to their studies and pursue topics they enjoy. If my class isn’t enjoying a book or an activity, I’ll stop and find another approach. Although I’m now tutoring instead of teaching in a classroom, I believe this mentality is why homeschooling works well for so many. You get to take charge of your own learning, knowing that I’m on hand to guide you along the way.
In the past I’ve had pupils ask me what is ‘the point’ in studying English. “I can already speak it, and my phone has autocorrect,” they tell me. Although being able to read and write accurately are of some importance (well quite a lot actually), I didn’t settle on teaching English because I like spelling. I decided on English because it encompasses so many other topics; you can choose whichever genre suits your mood, whether fiction or non-fiction, it doesn’t matter!
I also love getting into the nitty-gritty of how words and sentences are put together. I love the way you can invent new words just by speaking them; my two-year-old referred to my bracelet as a ‘hand ring’ the other day which makes perfect sense! I like knowing how a cleverly phrased tag line or quirky change of font can convince you that your life is not complete without a Harry Potter style TV remote control wand (yes I’m a Potterhead). Most of all, I love how English is in a constant state of flux and that we are all playing an active part in it, whether we realise it or not.
I look forward to joining you on your learning journey!

I have been teaching since 2003 and previously worked as a Stage Manager in various theatres across the UK. I am now able to combine my love of Drama with my love of literature by working as an English and Drama specialist.
I have taught in various educational settings, including specialist environments for children with visual impairments. I regularly directed and staged full-stage productions, some of which included The Bacchae, Guys & Dolls and Beauty & the Beast.
I have taught online for about two years, and I love that this allows me to connect with students worldwide and gives me the freedom to walk in my local countryside between lessons. I enjoy working one-on-one with students and have been delighted to be part of the UK National Tutoring Programme, which supports children who cannot be in school for a variety of reasons.
I love to be outside in nature, whether walking, growing vegetables or swimming in my local lido. I recently learned to swim and think it’s vital that we keep learning skills throughout life. I am also a writer in my spare time and contribute to Drama and Theatre magazine for teachers, textbooks and my own personal blog.

I am a self-proclaimed bookworm. In fact, my family and I seem to live under a mountain of books! I love writing, reading, studying and researching. I have published a number of articles, study guides and educational courses on a range of subjects within the fields of Psychology and English Literature.
I first chose Psychology as one of my own A Level subjects at sixth form college. Having never studied it before I found the subject fascinating and was keen to continue studying at university. In fact, my love of Psychology has continued throughout my life.
My educational background consists of a BA Joint Honours degree in English and Psychology. I have been a qualified teacher for 10 years and over this time have garnered a wealth of experience teaching KS3, KS4 and KS5. It was in my first teaching role that I was given the opportunity to set up and run my own A level Psychology Department. My passion for Psychology and independent study enabled me to complete my PhD alongside my teaching commitments. My thesis focused on the author Virginia Woolf and the psychological elements that shaped her work including her own well-documented mental health problems. She not only expanded the conception of the novel but she also left nearly 4,000 letters and 30 volumes of a diary. A psychological analysis of these private letters and diary entries provided fascinating insights into the mind of this rather troubled artist.
I currently teach English Literature (KS3, KS4, KS5 and university level) and Psychology (KS4, KS5 and university level) to a number of international pupils in Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong and Italy via Skype, as well as to students in all parts of the UK.
When I am not tutoring, I love to spend time playing in the park with my son. I also enjoy going to the gym and cycling. I am patient, friendly and professional and easy to get on with. I am here to help you achieve your potential: to accomplish and achieve your goals! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or queries.

I have had the privilege of teaching English for over 20 years; to have an impact on the lives and learning of others is so incredibly rewarding. But, then there are the books too! To read, study and share literature with others for so many years of my life is why I continue to find the profession so fulfilling.
To quote my favourite author, Margaret Atwood, ‘A word after a word after a word is power’; the meaning of this can be multiple. In educational terms, the acquisition of language and knowledge via the written word can be life-changing. This is one of the main reasons I love to write – and one day my own novel will be finished!
I studied Literature at De Montfort in Leicester, gaining my first degree. Not quite knowing where my future lay, I returned home and began a Masters in 20th Century Literature at Newcastle University. There I met my wonderful wife, and my book collection doubled. After completing my PGCE with Durham University, I began my first teaching role in a wonderful secondary school and stayed there for 21 years.
I’ve held roles as head of subject and as a mentor for teachers new to the profession. In 2023, I moved to West Sussex with my wife, 2 children and our Maltese dog Chester. I still work in schools – young people are amazing, and every single day offers something new and different.
Besides reading, I do have other hobbies: long runs, playing guitar and watching my beloved Newcastle United. I look forward to meeting you, helping you and hopefully learning something from you too.

I received my formal education from the University of Queensland in Australia. As part of my Arts Degree, I studied Economics, which I found to be both dynamic and challenging. Due to my outstanding achievement in the subject, I was offered a position as a tutor in The School of Economics which I gladly accepted, I truly have an enduring love for the subject.
I am attracted by the fact that everything is Economics, and nothing stays the same. You only need to go into the supermarket lately to experience ‘Shrinkflation’ first hand. As the name suggests, the size of the bar has shrunk, but the price has remained the same. It is important that we understand some level of Economics, so that the judgements we make are informed ones.
I subsequently went on to become a Head of Special Educational Services for Education Queensland, where I established the first two Special Educational Units for the semi-rural area, I was working in. I was also instrumental in developing effective and successful community-based programs, which resulted in work placements and apprenticeships for students with Special Educational Needs.
During my time at Education Queensland, I was offered the exciting opportunity to develop a ‘Skills for Life’ program. I found this to be a very challenging but rewarding project. The program sought to positively impact the lives of the students involved and the lives of those around them. I firmly believe that students need to be educated holistically. None of us can function if we do not possess the skills to interact positively in the world in which we live.
More recently, I held the dual roles of Special Educational Needs Coordinator and Head of Learning Support in an Independent School in Buckingham and was a senior leadership team member.
I have spent over 20 years teaching Lower Secondary, GCSE and A level English and have over 18 years of experience as an examiner for English. I am currently a Senior Examiner. I enjoy this role, as it is enlightening and rewarding to see the ways in which students approach the texts. This experience informs how I guide students to success.
I have a wide range of knowledge and experience in the fields of Specialist and Mainstream Education. I offer a wealth of sound practical advice and information to students seeking to organise and motivate themselves to achieve successful outcomes in their studies.
On a personal level, I love live theatre, listening to music, gardening, and reading, but most of all, I seek to enjoy every moment and spend my free time with special friends and family, and I must not forget my beautiful little Toffee, a lovable Maltese terrier, who constantly reminds me just how much joy can be packed into life.

I started my career teaching in secondary schools in Bristol and North Somerset in the UK. My main teaching subject is English, but I have also taught Media and Film Studies and Psychology. I am also a tutor for Thinking Skills at AS Level. I have been working for Wolsey Hall since 2014 and I thoroughly enjoy helping students across the world.
I have a degree in Psychology and Sociology from the University of Bath, but I also obtained a conversion degree in English alongside my PGCE. I am also an examiner and mark papers for English Language GCSE.
I love all types of storytelling, so I like to spend my free time reading and visiting theatres and cinemas. I enjoy the escapism; the ability to travel to any time or place in history – if only in my imagination!
I always like to encourage my pupils to read as much as possible and I like to share book recommendations. I’ll read almost anything but have an interest in gothic literature and Thomas Hardy in particular.
I grew up in Bristol and love city life, but I equally like relaxing in the countryside when the UK weather permits! I also like to travel when I can to experience new cultures and visit historical buildings, especially cathedrals.
Learning should be an enjoyable process and I like to continue my own studies in other subjects as well. I have attended summer schools at Cambridge University and have recently enjoyed Art classes. I hope to study for my Master’s degree in the future.
I hope I can share my passion for education, and I am keen to ensure that all students can reach their potential.

I have been filled with wanderlust from a very young age. After completing an MA in English at St Andrew’s University, followed by a PGCE and a few years of initial teaching, I departed Scotland for adventures in foreign lands. For the past 20 years, I have been teaching, coaching and mentoring in international schools in New Zealand, the Turks and Caicos Islands, Malaysia and, most recently, Bali, Indonesia.
As an English specialist and Head of Department, I have been delivering Cambridge IGCSE and A level for many years and have substantial experience teaching and tutoring students for whom English is not their first language. I have marked for CAIE at all levels. I am a warm, caring and perceptive tutor who enjoys unearthing my students’ literary interests – and also their big dreams for a wild and adventurous life!
For me, the study of literature and language allows us to understand the human experience more deeply. It provides the communication skills necessary to skilfully connect with others, whatever their cultural, economic or social background. Through reading, we get to experience ways of life that would be otherwise unknowable. With this knowledge, we can learn to have a fuller appreciation of what it means to be alive in the 21st Century.
In addition to teaching English, I am an experienced university and career guidance counsellor and life/career transition coach. It is incredibly fulfilling for me to support young people, fellow educationalists and ex-pats from all over the globe on their path to creating meaningful professional and personal lives. Currently, I also volunteer for the Matchlights Scholarship programme that supports high achieving, low-income students with free college counselling.
Outside of my professional roles, I love to go hiking in wild spaces and, after many years in tropical climates, I am currently looking forward to exploring the hills and glens of Scotland on brisk autumn days. I have been a dedicated yogi for over a decade and this year am delighted to be continuing my learning through a year-long Ashtanga teacher training programme. I also enjoy creating healthy bakes with some of the native flours I have been introduced to through my travels, knitting and reading contemporary women’s fiction and memoirs.
I can’t wait to meet you through your English courses and to be your learning companion as we work together to achieve your literary aspirations!

Having been an English teacher in a comprehensive school for over forty years, I have a wealth of experience in sharing my love of literature and the power of language with students of all abilities. The excitement of sharing this passion has never waned.
My role as Head of Key Stage 4 enabled me to support students both pastorally and academically, ensuring they could access the curriculum in all subjects and fulfil their potential. I was able to show students a range of post-16 and career options, forging links with universities and local businesses. I have always enjoyed this holistic approach to education, and because of this, I embarked on the National Professional Qualification for Head Teachers. I have also been an examiner for English Language for the Oxford Cambridge Board.
A year teaching in a public school in Buenos Aires expanded my horizons. I experienced the excitement and challenges of living and working in a country still recovering from the Falklands war and exploring other South American countries.
Having spent many years living in the Forest of Dean and walking the Welsh mountains, I am now enjoying a new life exploring Cotswold villages, churches and the countryside. A love of architecture, art, gardens, music and theatre makes for many stimulating trips. Currently, I enjoy reading biographies and returning to the classics.
You are embarking on a journey to explore the magic and mystery of language and how to manipulate language for various audiences. A study of literature allows you to explore other cultures and experiences beyond your own. I look forward to helping along the way.

Words are extraordinary things. I love the way they can take you to places you’ve never been, without making you ever leave your own settee. I love the way they can seem to be telling you one thing and actually be saying something else entirely. I love the way that they sound as well as the way they look on the page, in all sorts of languages, especially when someone who really knows what they’re doing sets them to music.
Words might seem odd things to love, but they’ve been a very helpful guide when it’s come to finding interesting things to do with my life. I started off doing an English degree at Keble College, Oxford, reading and writing about the great works of English Literature with the help of some of the great literary minds of the day. When I’d finished my degree in 1988 (gaining a 2:1), I spent my time running bookshops, mainly in Oxford, guiding others towards words that they too could enjoy.
After a decade of doing that, I decided to try my hand at the other side of the book trade, publishing. I did the MA in Publishing at Oxford Brookes University, graduating in 2001 with Distinction, and started looking for jobs. But before I could find one, the university roped me in to teach their new Publishing undergraduates, and that started me on the road to education, which I’ve been travelling along ever since.
I spent four years teaching undergraduates, and then took the PGCE teaching qualification at Oxford Brookes in 2006. Since then I’ve worked exclusively in independent schools, and I’ve had especially enjoyable jobs at two top girls’ schools, South Hampstead High School and Godolphin and Latymer School.
I’ve another string to my bow which might interest you. When I was at Keble, I was part of the team which won University Challenge in 1987; in 2000 I was the winner of another broadcast quiz, Mastermind. That got me involved in setting quiz questions, and I currently write for Brain of Britain, Round Britain Quiz, and Counterpoint. Tune in to BBC Radio 4 on a Monday lunchtime, and you might very well hear my words.
What you’ll also hear or read, when I’m tutoring you, is someone who sees a student’s confidence, and his or her enjoyment of the subject, as at least as important as their knowledge or skills. You can’t acquire either of those things, or hang on to them, unless you’re completely confident in what you’re doing or until you really love it. That’s what I focus on, and that might be why parents and pupils have often called me ‘inspirational’. I hope you think so too.

Best Choice For Homeschooling
Before we made the decision to take the homeshooling route, we talked to friends with homeschooled children and were largely unimpressed. We scoured the internet and came across Wolsey. It seemed to be the one that best matched our daughter's Cambridge system education at that point. We're glad we ultimately went the Wolsey route. The flexibility of homeschooling suited us perfectly, the course materials are of high quality, and SPM Kristina and the tutors are a delight to work with. Contrary to our initial reservations, homeschooling with Wolsey actually helped our daughter become a more independent, confident and disciplined student, things which will help her immensely when she goes to university. The ability to choose her own subjects allowed us to tailor her learning to her interests and give her a sense of what course she wants to take up. We also appreciate how Wolsey worked closely with our daughter to prepare for her IGCSE exams. The Wolsey experience has been a positive one not only for our child but for us as well. We'd recommend it highly to anyone looking for a homeschooling solution. We feel it's one of the best out there.

Outstanding Support and Education for Our Child in Kenya
As parents of a home-schooled child in Kenya, we were initially concerned about finding a quality education provider that could meet the unique needs of our child. After much research, we decided on Wolsey Hall Oxford, and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. Our child recently completed their IGCSE's with 6 A*s, and we believe this achievement is largely due to the excellent education and support provided by Wolsey Hall. From the very beginning, Wolsey Hall impressed us with their professionalism and commitment to each student's success. The course materials were thorough and well-structured, making it easy for our child to follow and understand the content. The flexibility of the program allowed our child to study at their own pace, which was crucial given our homeschooling environment. The tutors at Wolsey Hall were exceptional. Despite the distance, they were always accessible and provided timely, constructive feedback. Their dedication to ensuring that our child fully grasped each subject was evident, and their encouragement kept our child motivated throughout the course. The online platform was easy to navigate, and the resources provided, especially the exam preparation guides, were incredibly useful. As parents, one of our greatest concerns was ensuring that our child was not disadvantaged by homeschooling in rural Africa. Wolsey Hall’s international experience and understanding of the challenges faced by students in different parts of the world put our minds at ease. They provided not just education, but a community of support that made all the difference. We are extremely proud of our child's achievements, and we are confident that Wolsey Hall Oxford played a significant role in this success. We highly recommend Wolsey Hall to any parents in Kenya who are looking for a high-quality homeschooling option for their children. Their commitment to excellence and their supportive approach make them an outstanding choice. Thank you, Wolsey Hall Oxford, for helping our child excel and for being a part of this incredible journey!

Great experience
My son only had 12 months instead of 2 academic years to prepare for his IGCSEs so we decided that attending an online school was going to be the best solution to help him achieve his plan of preparing for his IGCSEs in a short amount of time. Our experience with Wolsey Hall has been excellent and I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to study for their IGCSEs remotely. My son has just received his IGCSE results and has passed all his exams with outstanding results.

My son, Bilal, who is turning 11 years old, started home schooling with Wolsey 3 years ago(Year3). We are so happy and content with the support we receive from the SPMs and the tutors. We have now been able to perfect a learning system for Bilal. He has been able to catch up his Math course which we started a year behind(Year 2) in comparison with the other subjects. Bilal's elder brother, Omar is also home schooling with Wolsey from year 8 and is now in his IGCSE years. Like Bilal, he started off German a year behind(Year 7) and has been able to catch up with the other subjects. We are looking forward to a bright and, more importantly, a relaxed learning experience with Wolsey.

Excellent
Wolsey Hall Oxford has been a fantastic experience for my daughters. They did one year in primary during COVID, and my eldest daughter re-enrolled in Year 9. She found studying independently and at her own pace more constructive. She has also acquired many skills that have assisted her learning. The resources provided are varied and abundant and the tutors are professional and competent. Our Student Progress Manager was extremely supportive and continued to motivate my daughter throughout the year. We will be continuing with Wolsey Hall Oxford for the IGSCE courses. It has made a huge difference in my daughter’s learning and I am very satisfied with the results.

Great experience throughout my school years
I have been with Wolsey since I started KS3, and I'm now going to start my final year of A levels. All throughout my time, the tutors have been fantastic and the feedback I got from them on my assignments have been good, as well as communication if I needed any additional help. For my AS level sociology, my assignment marks went from 68/100 to 90/100. Overall, probably one of the best online schooling options

Wolsey Hall provided the perfect balance of support and independent learning for my daughter, this has given her confidence in her own abilities with the safety net there when she needed it. Wolsey Hall is very professional and well organised. I was concerned about finding exam centres and getting the codes right when entering my daughter for her IGCSE’s but it was all made very straight forward by the Wolsey team, I couldn’t fault them.

Wonderful Wolsey!
Our daughter has been with Wolsey Hall for 4 years now and is on her path to begin her A-levels. We have had a wonderful experience from day one, and our current SPM, Kristina Brown, has been a superstar all the way. All questions, queries, and requests are attended to promptly and with extended guidance the whole time which is invaluable. We look forward to our next chapter with Wolsey Hall both our daughter and we as parents, are very happy with Wolsey Hall and highly recommend it to all parents looking for a top homeschooling choice.

A Very Positive View of Wolsey Hall Education
I am delighted to provide a positive report on my daughter's two-year study experience for the IGCSE at Wolsey Hall. Several key factors throughout her journey contributed to an enriching and successful educational experience. Flexibility of Programs: One of the standout features of Wolsey Hall's programs is their flexibility. This aspect was invaluable for my daughter, allowing her to tailor her study schedule to fit around her other commitments and interests. The ability to work at her own pace ensured that she could fully engage with the material without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Quality of Written Feedback and Further Reading Suggestions: The quality of the staff at Wolsey Hall, particularly in providing written feedback and suggesting further reading, was exceptional. Her tutors' detailed and constructive feedback helped her improve her understanding of the subject matter and encouraged her to delve deeper into the topics covered. The additional reading suggestions were instrumental in broadening her knowledge and enhancing her learning experience. Professional Support from Student Progress Manager: The role of the Student Progress Manager cannot be overstated in its importance within the school. Their professional support and guidance were invaluable throughout my daughter's studies. From providing academic advice to offering pastoral care, the Student Progress Manager played a crucial role in ensuring that my daughter felt supported and motivated to succeed. Development of Valuable Life Skills: Wolsey Hall provided a solid academic foundation and helped my daughter develop essential life skills such as time management and online meeting planning. These skills have proven invaluable as she prepares for her next steps in education and beyond. Overall, my daughter's experience at Wolsey Hall has been overwhelmingly positive. The program's flexibility, the staff's quality in providing written feedback and suggesting further reading, and the professional support provided by the Student Progress Manager have all contributed to her academic success and personal growth. I cannot thank Wolsey Hall enough for their dedication to providing a top-quality education and supporting my daughter every step of the way.

Flexible Schedule and Helpful Teachers
I highly recommend Wolsey Hall to other parents who find themselves in non-traditional working situations or whose children require more flexibility in their education. I'm delighted to share that my daughter has seamlessly transitioned into a private school in Malaysia, following the IGCSE syllabus. She is thriving academically and socially. This smooth transition is a testament to the solid foundation she received during her homeschooling years.

A very positive experience
A very positive experience for my daughter. The online IGCSE subjects that she completed were well organised, the assignments well spaced out, the feedback from tutors was helpful and encouraging. It offered flexibility with the validation of valuable qualifications at the end. Online schooling with Wolsey Hall was an excellent choice and worked very well for us.

Excellent well established online school
When we were looking for a UK government approved home school for our daughter aged 15 Wolsey Hall oxford stood out to us from the start being one of the most experienced online home schools it made it a reassuring logical choice when our daughter changed from attending a physical school at the start of year 10. From our initial information zoom call we were really impressed with the online learning platform canvas and the range of GCSEs and the whole ethos and set up of the online school seemed quite straightforward and easy to use, when we signed up for our daughters GCSEs courses each subject course book arrived with us so fast then we all had some time to navigate and get used to canvas the online learning platform our daughter picked it up fast next we all met with her assigned student support manager Erica who has been a wonderful support to our daughter and to us too we all can contact Erica and she keeps in regular contact with our daughter having a super friendly point of contact like Erica with whom we can communicate with so easily has been so helpful in our home schooling journey she helps my daughter with extensions for assignments if she is struggling and she really encourages our daughter with positive and constructive feedback which really helps her mindset. The subject tutors are easy to reach if you have any questions you just feel less alone with Wolsey hall my daughter has become such an independent learner and is now so organised and is learning that reaching out for help is something she can now do without feeling so worried or anxious as Erica and all the tutors have been so kind and reassuring to her she wants to do her best and a huge weight has been lifted off her shoulders since she started at Wolsey hall oxford our daughter is so much happier and is far less anxious I'm so grateful to Wolsey hall for all the help and support they constantly provide my daughter is actually now looking forward to subjects she once disliked at school and is enjoying her Igcses and different subject challenges and it is so very wonderful to see her passionate and so engaged in her learning again thank you wolsey hall for making this transition to online learning so straightforward for us all

The Right Choice
We are 3 months in and having looked at various options I am so happy we chose Wolsey Hall. It is really suiting our son (year 10) and the support we are receiving from Daisy our progress manager is fantastic and so appreciated. The flexibility is making all the difference to our son and he is really engaging with taking control of his own learning and timetable. Exactly what we hoped.

Excellent school
Excellent school I transferred my daughter to Wolsey Hall 2 years ago after she found online classes had improved her studies and helped deal with anxiety better. Following that, she started IGCSEs, and the amount of support and flexibility we have received have been tremendous. There have been many personal problems along the way which hindered her studies but her SPM has supported us throughout the way. She has learnt and grown so much. Great tutors and SPM. Definitely recommend! We are leaving now but it’s been a great journey.

Fantastic feedback, support and resources
Wolsey Hall is an absolutely fantastic choice for anyone wanting to homeschool themselves. You will have access to a staggering amount of interesting and useful course material, constant support and helpful feedback on all your assignments. I finished both my IGCSEs and my A Levels with Wolsey Hall, and did very well in both. I strongly recommend giving this school a chance!

Tailor made, no stress, available anywhere
My son (15 years old) has been studying with Wolsey Hall for 4 years now. He started as Year 7 student and now he is preparing for his IGCSE having very successfully passed one exam already. For us Wolsey Hall turned out to be the perfect choice as we previously had lived in a different, not English speaking country, and wanted our child to have an international level education. We moved to a new country during these 4 years and got through COVID 19 restrictions without any impact on our child’s education. It was not interrupted or hampered in any way. The programme is tailor made: you can choose any combination of subjects. The school is using the best textbooks and an excellent easy navigational educational platform with clear explanations what and how to do it. The courses have a lot of additional materials available in each and every topic with brilliant explanations and relevant experiments. You have introductory Skype calls with the tutors and your Student progress manager all of whom are invariably extremely inspiring and motivational. Your Student progress manager sends you and your child a monthly report on the child’s progress highlighting any issues if any/ praising the hard work and excellent results and reminding your child of any further steps to be taken in relation to revision, etc. The child studies independently and he has a schedule of assignments on each subject to be adhered to. The tutors are available for any questions/doubts and respond promptly to any queries the child might have during the course. The tutors mark the assignments and provide detailed feedbacks. You can find a lot of advice on the platform as to how to organize the studies. The school has loads of extracurricular activities and clubs. They have a University advice team as well. My child is really happy we chose Wolsey Hall as this child-friendly, no stress school equips you with the necessary knowledge without any pressure. Studying with Wolsey is pure joy and positive experience motivating the child to look forward to further education.

iGCSE Coordinated Sciences (double award) "AA" Result
Our son received his Cambridge Coordinated Science iGCSE (Double Award) results yesterday with an "AA" - and we are so thankful to Wolsey Hall!! Having already completed a year of his iGCSEs in a school overseas and then us unexpectedly moving back to the UK last summer, we found ourselves needing tailored support for a subject both my husband and I (both teachers) were unable to support at all!! His progress manager devised a bespoke plan to keep our son focused and on track so we didn't have to worry about his Science at all. His experienced tutor provided fast turnaround on assignment feedback which was incredibly helpful for him to work on his gaps, and then recommended past paper revision on the run up to the exams. Having reviewed his previous school report, he was on target for B in the sciences, yet thanks to standard of resources, assessment and motivation from Wolsey, his grades have been pulled up to AA!! Thank you so much!!

A great homeschooling approach
This is the best homeschooling program to support student undertaking a UK based curriculum. The platform works very well, supported by excellent tutors and a dedicated student progress manager. I recommend it for anyone looking to take IGCSE or A level qualification.

I am very happy I chose Wolsey Hall for my daughter's IGCSE's. I had to remove her from school due to not getting the support she needed for her dyslexia. With Wolsey Hall, the courses are taken step by step, we had full support from their SENCO, who we met online on numerous occassions and who offered very helpful advice. We were assigned a Student Progress Manager right from the start, who we were able to email and get assistance from all the way through, and who offered online meetings whenever we needed them. We also met with all of my daughters tutors, who offered excellent support and guidance throughout.

Consistently efficient and professional
My son completed year 8 courses with Wolsey Hall and my daughter did 6 subjects at IGCSE level. We have been delighted by the amazingly efficient and professional service provided by Wolsey Hall, and the level of learning. We have had experience with other home school providers, and the kids have friends studying through other platforms and they simply do not compare. We were hugely appreciative of the consistent support and encouragement we got from our student progress managers (Jennie and then Angela). We also really like the balance that Wolsey Hall strike between conventional textbook learning and digital content. Both my kids were delighted to consistently recieve marks in the 80's and 90's, and my daughter is delighted with A's in her first two subjects written at IGCSE (English lang and lit), she found she was well prepared by the courses, and that her course work was suitably challenging that the exams were if anything comparatively slightly easier. A big thankyou to the teachers and SPM's for everything!! From the Pascoe Family

We are absolutely thrilled with our daughter's O level results! Wolsey Hall has allowed our daughter to follow her Equestrian passion, the tutors have been very supportive, encouraging and always respond with quick and detailed feedback on assignments.

Amazing! No need to sweat!
Having been with Wolsey Hall for 4 years has been a very pleasant journey from choosing IGCSEs to applying for the final exams, to participating in clubs. Throughout this time there has been support and guidance from the whole team at Wolsey. Our SPM (student progress manager) for the higher secondary school has been exceptional and has everything covered, from monthly reviews, advice, answering queries to being friendly, approachable and encouraging and most importantly having the ability to interact with a teenager. Tutors at Wolsey cannot be faltered. They encourage, inspire and their comments address all areas from strengths to weaknesses and how to improve and move forward. Best of all they are approachable and willing to help your child to do the best they can. Along with great tutors, Wolsey Hall has excellent interactive structured courses with access to multiple websites and quizzes. The UK exams officer at Wolsey has been absolutely amazing and made the process of applying for IGCSEs stress free. We can honestly say Wolsey have everything covered from start to finish and the whole experience has actually been a pleasant one. Everyone at Wolsey Hall have been amazing and truly we are grateful for all the help, support and kindness Thank you so much!

Excellent for home schooling.
My older son took several IGCSEs with Wolsey Hall and now my younger son is coming to the end of year 9 with them. We have found the school to be very good, they are quick to respond and helpful with any queries and the tutors are all friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The system has worked very well for us, giving a good structured curriculum but also the flexibility to study when we want. They have also been very helpful with the exam organisation, particularly during the pandemic, when it was all rather chaotic! I would definitely recommend Wolsey Hall and we will be continuing with them for IGCSEs next year.

A wonderful online school
My son had previously been going to a very good state school where he gained a great deal academically, but when he moved to Wolsey Hall Oxford during the pandemic, he was able to go at his own pace and thoroughly cover the subject matter for his eight iGCSEs, furthering his knowledge and developing a love of learning. He has very much enjoyed his experience with Wolsey Hall Oxford, which has prepared him to go into the Canadian education system with ease. Not only is the material excellent quality, for each of the subjects, but his progress manager, Pat, has been wonderful and always there to support us; all his tutors have been amazing, giving feedback instantly; and his online tutoring lessons with David for Science have been exceptional. It has been a privilege to have my son studying with you. Thank you Wolsey Hall Oxford!

Amazing IGCSE Tutoring and Support
I was a student with Wolsey Hall Oxford for a year and a half whilst studying for my IGCSEs and I loved it. Their way of teaching and independent study gives you the choice of when to study and how to plan your studying around your life, activities or movement. Wolsey's teachers are all supportive, helpful, and give thorough feedback on your past mistakes, and really help you to achieve the grades that you can. I got 3 A*s 3 As 2 Bs and 1 C, a huge improvement from my past studies. I would recommend Wolsey Hall Oxford to everyone who's living abroad and needing British education or home schooling in the UK. You can't go wrong with Wolsey.

Recommend Wolsey 100%
From my daughter's point of view in her words: I’ve been with Wolsey Hall for two years – previously I used a different program to homeschool – and am now starting iGCSEs and the experience has been excellent. Everything is well organized and highly professional, making it easy to work, and the tutors are extremely friendly and helpful. Wolsey’s program ensures that you learn to work independently and manage your time by yourself, very important skills to acquire early. Most importantly for me, however, is that Wolsey makes schooling enjoyable. By structuring their courses the way they do, and giving students a degree of freedom to find what works for them, Wolsey allows the fun of learning to prevail. I have fun with school – and if you enjoy learning, you automatically learn better! All in all, I would not hesitate to immediately recommend Wolsey to anyone, provided they are willing to self-motivate. From a parent’s point of view: I am absolutely thrilled with the way Wolsey is doing the courses. Everything is clearly explained, excellently structured and the tutors are highly qualified, extremely helpful and professional. We have never had any problems and the feedback is always detailed and easy to understand. The same goes for any other staff, starting from the administrative staff who make the enrolling process very easy, the finance department and of course the student progress manager. We had several changes in our schedule over the years due to moving or spontaneous holidays, it was never a problem and Jessie, our student progress manager, thank you, has always responded quickly and accommodated our needs. Our daughter has learned to work independently and, as she said above, enjoys school. That for me says it all, what better recommendation is there? I do think it is important that as a parent you get involved to a certain extent, even if it is just to help with keeping on track or bouncing ideas. I also want to address the one issue that keeps coming up with prospective homeschoolers: the worry of parents that their children have no social interactions, which I had in the beginning as well. For us that worked out, my daughter dances 4 times a week and has a lot of social contacts. For those who don’t have that opportunity, Wolsey has an online student forum and several online activities to cover that side as well, which I have not seen from other homeschooling providers and find absolutely brilliant. I would 100% recommend Wolsey to anyone who thinks about a different and individual approach to learning and have done so in person to several friends.

Excellent Resources and Support
I moved my son to homeschooling Wolsey during the pandemic last year. His school only offered online learning which did not suit him. Wolsey's resources for IGCSE Physics are excellent. He was able to self pace his learning whilst he received very good support from his tutor when needed. He completed the Physics course in 7 months and received a very good result. Thank you so much Wolsey.

A great learning experience
My son wanted to add a further GCSE to his list, so tried his hand at Psychology. He completed this over one year and I’m pleased to say received a grade 9. We found the whole process easy and well set out. Over the twelve months he was given assignments that challenged him and gave him the skill set to feel confident in the exam. My sons teacher was always available to give advice if he was struggling and his pastoral advisor was nothing short of wonderful. Our experience of Wolsey Hall Oxford was an extremely positive one.

Wolsey Hall - an outstanding online school
My son has just started his second year with Wolsey Hall and completed 3 IGCSE's in one year, all of which he passed with very good grades. He will continue with a further 4 subjects this year. His tutors have been incredible, their feedback is swift, thorough and professional, and they all make a huge effort to ensure that my son is supported throughout the assignments. All learning material is of an exceptional standard. His Student Progress Manager, Juliet Franks, is absolutely amazing! Her attention to detail and continued assistance has been greatly appreciated and we are delighted to have her continued support. My son hopes to complete his A Levels with WH in the future, we wouldn't consider anywhere else! Thank you Wolsey Hall.

Exceptional online school
My 2 daughters have been exclusively home schooled from the start, and Wolsey Hall Oxford is the 3rd (and last) school we have enrolled them at. They have been with Wolsey Hall for about 4 years now, and as a homeschooling family, we are very happy to have such an outstanding school supporting our daughters in their educational journey. The material made available for study ie textbooks, online resources, the remarkable Ms Nicola Timbrell, and notable tutor assistance aided our daughters in getting good results. We are overjoyed with our younger girl's May/June 2021 IGCSE results where she sat for 5 subjects, and got 5 As - 4 of them A*s. Thank you Wolsey Hall Oxford!

Excellent support for self-paced learning
My daughter was determined to go through the IGSCE course in twelve months with the WolseyHall Oxford team. The system provided excellent learning materials, feedback, and support throughout her rush journey. She eventually achieved what she was expecting and got qualified for her continuing study in the IB course. Thanks so much.

A wonderful experience
Our three children spent 2 years studying with Wolsey Hall for their IGCSE and had a wonderful experience. Their IGCSE results are outstanding which is due to their hard work and the support and standard of education from Wolsey Hall. The children learnt how to manage their own study time and gained independence while at the same time having great support when needed from their wonderful Student Progress Manager Rona, and their subject tutors. Through the Covid pandemic their education was not interrupted and they were able to study as normal. Our children have gained so much from their time studying with Wolsey Hall and we will be forever grateful for the support and the extremely high quality of education.

Excellent
I did Chemistry, Physics and a Computer Science IGCSE with Wolsey Hall. This way of learning really suited me and is extremely flexible. My Progress Manager (Tina Nourse) and Tutors were amazing and really helpful, and mostly replied within 1 day maximum. It's a shame they require GCSE Maths, English and subject specific requirements for their A Level Courses, otherwise I would have definitely done Chemistry, Maths and Further Maths A Level Courses with them.

Excellent Learning Organisation
Wolsey Hall sets a high standard, is accomodating and flexible with an understanding that each child's learning needs and pace will be different. The programs are comprehensive and provide a great learning framework that can be navigated independently by students or with the guidance of parents. My daughter enrolled in 2017 (she was 13), she is a musician, school work fits around her music. She is always engaged in learning and over her period of enrolment, she has become more academic and developed a natural determination to obtain formal learning credentials. Wolsey has always been available to discuss progress and provide guidance around subject choices - they are very organized and always up to date with the curriculum for the IGCSE.

I am very happy with the way the IGCSE program is being orchestrated for my daughter at Wolsey Hall. I am impressed with the structure, the faculty support and the overall framework. I would strongly recommend Wolsey Hall to anyone who wishes to home-school their children. They are indeed doing a fantastic job and I am immensely pleased I made the right decision for my daughter. She enjoys the learning experience and her commitment to the study program has risen by leaps by bounds. Thank you.

Exceptional Experience
My daughter is an American student studying with Wolsey Hall. I knew very little about the Cambridge curriculum when my daughter began her IGCSE studies, but Wolsey Hall has made every effort to help both of us along the way. Their tutors are excellent, the materials they offer are thorough and I cannot say enough good things about their support staff. My daughter achieved very high marks on her IGCSE exams and is now studying A levels with Wolsey Hall. I highly recommend them for anyone wanting an exceptional learning experience.

My daughter achieved excellent IGCSE results and is now taking an A-level course.

Wolsey is great!
I have been studying with Wolsey Hall for the past 3 years, taking IGCSE History in the first year for which I gained an A* and then A level History and English Literature in the last two, both of which i achieved high A grades in at the AS exam sitting in the Autumn. I have really enjoyed studying with Wolsey - the course material is engaging and very accessible, the tutors are incredibly helpful and the feedback/advice is excellent. I would definitely highly recommend studying with Wolsey.

We've been using the services of Wolsey Hall Oxford...
We've been using the services of Wolsey Hall Oxford for a year or so now and the students who have worked through the courses have all enjoyed the experience. The Wolsey Hall Oxford online courses with tutor support and feedback allow our students to take courses that are not able to fit within our school timetable. This gives students the flexibility of choosing courses at school and online. The students who have been taking the online options have well developed independent learning skills and are self regulated, motivated learners. The quality and structure of each IGCSE course is excellent and the feedback from tutors after assignment submission is always details and constructive. As a school principal, my priority is to ensure that our students have the best possible opportunities to learn and receive the best in course instruction and feedback. As a father, I have been pleased that my own daughter has taken a Wolsey Hall Oxford course. This option enabled her to take an IGCSE course that did not fit the school timetable. I've been really impressed with the way in which she has progressed through the course and she has been so happy to receive constructive and positive feedback. According to my daughter, she loves Wolsey Hall Oxford because the tutors are so supportive, response times to assignment submissions and questions are excellent, great quality learning resources are provided, and student progress is monitored closely and carefully.
