    College or ICS Maths
    Hey Guys just wondering which one you think would be better?

    Im currently studying My GCSE Maths part time at my local college. The course cost me £220.00 and is 2 hours a week.

    Since the start its been nothing but cancelled lessons, people sat around waiting for help (on more than one occasion I have sat for 1.5 hours of a 2 hour lesson waiting for help).

    We have had 3 tutors in a space of a year the current tutor started 2 weeks ago and we are due to take our exams in 3 weeks ( I should also mention the last 2 tutors where not actual tutors from the college but from an agency).

    Im writing a letter of complaint but either way im going to have to retake it again next year and pay another £220.00 to the college.

    Would it be worth taking it again or would you try ICS?

    thanks for taking the time to read this post

    Don't bother with ICS, trust me on this one.

    Try http://www.livemaths.co.uk/ and get a subscription, they do some good tuition and even http://www.mathsnetgcse.com/

    No i don't work for either company but i find them very useful for home tuition, good luck

    I agree with above, ICS are apparently terrible. If you're insisting on doing it through distance learning there are many that are better than that company.
