Because it has the highest A-level score averages of all independent A-level colleges in central London, trumping DLD, MPW, and the like..

The main things with all is the smaller class sizes, more individual attention and more one on one, intensive teaching. This is then reflected in the +95% A grade exam results. Also, the teachers are specifically trained to deal with resit students and work out the best plan of action for each individual students so that they can get the grades they want to study at a uni of their choice and course. For Duff Miller anyway. Also, DM is in London, and I've noticed you're in Soton.

Also, the teachers are some of the best in the country. The notes you will be given will be as coherent as you can get.

I would recommend Collingham, which is widely regarded as one of the best in London. The above are good too. :smile:

The bottom line is if you work hard at any of these colleges listed above then you should reach your maximum potential.

Just use avergage a level score etc as a base to your decision.

If you attend any of these tutorial colleges you'll produce the goods. Visit them; get a 'feel' of the place and speak to the tutors. Ask yourself whether you can imagine yourself studying there for the next year. :smile:
