| − | ''One family's experience'': I attended an Open Day at 'Tutors and Exams' in Coventry in January 2017. I was incredibly impressed by their 'Can Do' attitude towards access arrangements (given enough notice), breadth of subjects offered and the fact they offer all the exam boards and exams three times a year, as per each board's schedule. They are keen to work with the home ed community to help hook them up with the resources they need to do exams; with local tutors or distance learning organizations and to offer whatever exam any home edder wants to do! They offer mocks cheaply and easily. They try not to put more than 25 in a room so for popular exams eg Maths in the summer, they use lots of rooms of 25 students. HOWEVER, we haven't done any exams with them yet so can't yet vouch for them. But very promising. |
