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.
Cristina Mujana, August 14, 2024
Relaxed learning
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.
Rasha, July 13, 2024
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.
Anne Barge, June 22, 2024
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.
Dr. Shahreen Mat Nayan, May 16, 2024
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
Sofie Perry, March 22, 2024
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.
Mrs Vettraino, March 13, 2024
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.
Ayesha, January 27, 2024
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!
Kaden Wolfson, January 17, 2024
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!!
Claudia, August 17, 2023
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.
Melinda Heasman, May 23, 2023
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. We look forward to the next two years, thank you Wolsey Hall!!
Jo Cocker, January 19, 2023
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!
Parent, January 6, 2023
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.
Claudia Aphra Rendle, April 28, 2022
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!
Gillian Richardson, February 14, 2022
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.
Nathan Haslam, January 29, 2022
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.
Sabine Coleman, October 20, 2021
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.
Shaun Hodgson, September 30, 2021
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.
Carol Corless, September 29, 2021
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.
Amanda Dodson, September 29, 2021
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!
Barbara Ann Mabutho, September 27, 2021
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.
Torsak T., September 23, 2021
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.
Customer, August 18, 2021
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.
Felicity Woodhill, April 14, 2020
I am very happy with the way 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.
Chitra , October 28, 2019
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.
Elaine, September 25, 2019
Excellent
I would recommend Wolsey Hall Oxford to anyone considering homeschooling. Each course has plenty of resources on canvas and the course books are very informative. Any questions or help that we needed (preparing and arranging exams etc) have always been dealt with by the friendly tutors and student progress manager. My daughter achieved excellent IGCSE results and is now taking an A-level course.
D Hogan, September 18, 2019
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 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.
