Success Stories
Learning in lockdown:
GCSE
We’re incredibly proud of our GCSE learners who achieved outstanding results this year. Even though this has not been the year everyone thought it would be, our students continued to work hard up until when their exam would have taken place. A few of our learners kindly shared some of their experiences with us!
“30 years on from originally taking my maths GCSE (achieving an E,) which was my lowest grade, I decided to give it another go. The tutor was great, offering lots of support and encouragement. I went on to achieve a level 5! Something I believed was not possible. Can’t thank them enough.” Carla “In doing the course I am now much more confident when helping my children and as a result of it, their maths has also improved. My tutor was very helpful and gave me the opportunity to ask for help during lessons. He was also only an email away if I needed help at home. I would encourage others to do this course because it’s an amazing feeling when you get the results you have always wanted.” Julie 28

“I enrolled with ACL in 2018/2019 because work asked that I brush up on my English to enhance my communications skills. At first, I felt daunted at the prospect. I had not participated in any formal English qualification for over 36 years. However, after speaking to my friend, we decided to enrol together. My friend also wanted to enrol so she could start her new career path which she had yearned to do for many years. “We both really enjoyed our English course, finding our tutor and fellow students supportive and friendly. Upon completing our English GCSE, which we both passed, my friend then required Mathematics. Being the supportive friend that I am I enrolled for 2019/2020 with her. Mathematics is a major part of my day to day job role, it made sense to brush up on the subject, knowing we would stick together and finish this part of our journey together and pass. I am delighted to say yet again, we both did.
