    • The tutors here explain everything really well and they are very helpful. Long term, I'd like to become a Sports Physiotherapist or even do something with maths, so I'm going to go to university after this.

      Muhammed Akmul, English & Maths GCSE - studied at Essa Academy

    • English and maths is so important; it's helped me with my coding, writing essays and just general course study. The English and maths tutors have been so supportive - where they can, they'll relate examples in class to the subject I'm studying which really helps and makes it easier to understand.
