Abdalla’s Story
Wolsey Hall Oxford student Abdalla, who is homeschooling in Turkey, studied 4 A levels with Wolsey Hall. In Summer 2022, he achieved fantastic results:
A* – Physics
A* – Chemistry
A* – Maths
A – Further Maths.
Here Abdalla explains how he found homeschooling his A levels.
Making the change
“The transition to homeschooling was quite demanding for the first few weeks, but I eventually formed a solid routine that worked very well for me. In fact, being homeschooled proved to be much more interesting and fun than going to an actual school!”
“The only obstacle I had was time management. On some days, I simply could not divide my day in such a way that I could get something positive out of it. However, as exams approached, reality hit me and I soon learned the importance of self-discipline. Thankfully, I thoroughly enjoyed my Maths courses and my mentor was always supportive and helpful with any questions I had. This made it easier for me to sit down and study for longer periods of time. Having an ossified routine was everything to me. The topics I studied were engaging enough for me to not grow bored. And, at the end of the day, I had a substantial amount of time to spend by myself and with my family.”
Moving forwards
“I am currently majoring in Maths at my dream university, Koç University in Istanbul, and I plan on pursuing a double major in Mathematics and Computer Engineering (or Philosophy, still working on my decision!). After this I hope to work in academia as a researcher in Mathematics and AI.”
“My advice to other A level homeschoolers would be to introspect and to recognise your intentions when doing what you are doing. Deluding oneself becomes very easy when one is studying without oversight. For example, I convinced myself that I did not need to practice Physics past papers in my first year of being homeschooled for a long time. Had I not questioned that belief, I would have botched my exams!”
