UPDATE They refused entry to my son for year 8 so we had them looked over OOL claimed we were aggressive that non of the teachers wanted to teach my son this was simply not the case with his current teachers after a ruff start it was a manipulative lie on the part of ool excuse to avoid dealing with issues related to the quality of the product to silence any criticism that might expose the scam in play The sad reality was that they were manipulative to the last in an attempt to live in a delusional state of not being able to be at fault Save one tutor whom was really nice they knew I was on to their money scam so they refused to teach my son I am sure they will invent a version of the truth to fit their own marketing scam agenda making us out to be the monster as they have in other reviews below But the truth is all i have i stand by it They have lead me to believe my son would continue with this course until year nine while instead just wasting a year of my sons education Turns out this is nothing more than a year long standing order scam they don t care about your kids here i grew very suspicious of this fake education package very early on something was not right at all very messy poorly written cheap educational material claims of students being able to phone teachers but ONLY FOR 20 MINUTES ONCE A WEEK teachers never and I mean never picked up the phone leaving my son with no support after having a real teaching professional look into the materials he stated QuoteThis material is out of date not fit to teach children in any academic year to date END QUOTEI was offered a refund half way through WE THINK THEY GOT SCARED I WAS ON TO THEM but when i called their bluff and said yes refund me oh their tune soon changed literally backed up and begged me to finish the year 700 odd waste of money have applied to court to get it back REPORTED THEM TO TRADING STANDARDS ACTION FRAUDMy Advice do not buy this it s not what it says it is the manager is a con man it s not simply supported distance learning more like you will be lucky if you learn anything My advice go buy CGP GOVERNMENT APPROVED WORKBOOKS revision books These are very professional books aimed at your child s age group they are used in schools up and down the UK combine that with a laptop and youtube and save your self the headache that OOL SCAM BOT WILL CAUSE YOU THIS PLACE IS A DISGRACE AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR FRAUD The key stage 3 Math course needs a lot of work from Oxford home schooling to provide better clearer explanations of formulas used to study their Math course Over complicated and out of date formulas are used currently often leaving out parts that should be explained to the reader BEFORE TAKING ON THE TASK one example being during any activity in the math course you will get extremely confusing explanations for the first three sums of an activity but the fourth sum of an activity will have no explanation at all or proper instruction They expect the pupil to guess the answer without having any previous indication of how to do that different type of sum within the context of the formula that was originally poorly thought out or not explained at all Tutors must be beside them selves often having to correct the mistakes of Oxford home schooling by providing links to websites and youtube Videos that give a more modern and simplified explanation of the sums in question but do not indirectly or directly point to the solution or formula for the poorly explained question four or trick question in each activity The tutors are fantastic and do try but the lack of simplified methodology to the written text is what makes the course take a lot longer than it should an activity that should take no longer than 30 minutes ends up taking 3 days per single question that was not explained If you make any complaint at all expect inappropriate rude comments from staff such as quote We have been doing this for 40 years or perhaps home tuition is not suited to your child this is damn right insulting given that we don t have any issue with English or science Just the extremely poor explanation of the material formula that should be written in a modern and easy to digest way without attempts to confuse the pupil by leaving out proper explanations for the so called harder question in each activity Instead of dealing with their shortcomings they will try to blame you their solution is to swap your tutor BUT THIS is not normally the problem at all What they need to do is include explanations of mathematical formula for all eventualities in an activity before the problem is to be tackled and not expect pupils to guess the wrong answer because the lesson was written by somebody who likely never had children and thought a child would be able to guess what to do Oh Dear

Very disapointing organisation - student support poor communication very poor Would not recommend to anyone Tutoring is generally non-existent Son Started with much enthusiasm which was very soon diminished

I bought two courses for my teenage daughter The contact form her tutors was limited she grew more uncertain about her subjects and they completely missed in both subjects that she had not contacted them for over three months She tried to complete the work on her own not wanting to admit to me that such a costly expense was failing I have asked for a refund as the tutors did not contact me or her regarding her lack of contact- and they don t answer my emails or letters Pot luck if you get a good tutor it might be great but I wouldn t trust them

My daughter as been doing KS3 English since January but we are very unhappy with the lack of answers to check she is on the right track in the books I have given customer services the chance to put things right and get the parents guides altered but their reply of the questions can have multiple answers doesn t help much Each question should be showing at least 1 in-depth answer to check the topic is fully understood I made a big mistake of signing up for all of KS3 in 1 go as we now have another 2 years of this -

When I was looking for a training provider to take my Maths GCSE as an external candidate I looked to see where I could take my exam Their records arent up to date So dont be fooled by this I contacted at least 4 places only to be told - they dont take external candidates Unless you are willing to travel miles - I wouldnt use this training company at all They really dont care theyve made their money out of you My advice would be - go elsewhere So after reading their reply - they as a provider really dont care after taking over 300 to fill their pockets and not help their students I tried contacting at least 10 exam places and none of them took external candidates Therefore these places shouldnt be even listed Just to clarify that the website I had was printed on the work books it isnt easy to get hold of someone to help you This is appaling and they should feel ashamed of themselves Yes I was told about an exam centre in Southampton and I messaged them but they replied saying they didnt do it Yet another uncaring disloyal company who are just interested in taking your money and not giving anything back
