UpLearn

Hold off for now, you may not need it. I trialled it over Easter Y12 for maths as I was struggling a bit with mechanics. It helped a lot and I thought I might pay for membership from the start of Y13 or possibly Christmas (the price goes down in intervals as the year progresses). My mum talked to them and they gave us a £50 discount so we paid the Y13 price but got the rest of Y12 for free. I don’t know if they always give discounts if you book a call, but it is worth a try if you are willing to walk away as we were.

I doubt I will complete enough of the course to trigger the guarantee, for me it is more something to dip in and out when I have problems plus exam practice questions and papers. Like a very expensive text book - but it works for me. We had hegarty maths for GCSE, but I think Uplearn is better.

If you want to do something the summer before you start, just make sure your algebra is as good as possible.

Hey, I'm thinking of buying UpLearn for AQA Maths. For those who have used it. Was it any good? Since, I don't want to spend the money if it isn't worthwhile.

Are you applying to study A-Level at college as well or? I mean I just bought this course and study at home in my spare time lol. It states I’m at a grade B right now based on what I’ve done but I’m taking my exam next year, so hopefully I should be getting A* providing I can recall all the damn formulas!!!! Hahah

The thing is that I have the money and I feel like it will be really useful for preparation for A levels as well

It says August 2025, 3 subjects are £900

Yeah, they were quite good imo

You will have to wait until Saturday then xD since I decided that I'm gonna get A-Level physics and then get TT for maths and chem

The thing is that I have the money and I feel like it will be really useful for preparation for A levels as well

Why pay money before trying all the excellent free Maths websites? No-one should need Uplearn with what is free out there.

Have you been set summer prep work for Maths? If not then again there's many examples on the web.

These pay-for resources are a rip-off [Maths teacher]

There are a lot of free Math resources out there but I personally find that not all of them put information across as well as this course does for me.

Some people can be too technical with their teaching methods and others just a little mind numbing. I know TLF Maths on YouTube is pretty decent and organic chemistry tutor for Maths but again, there’s other distractions and it’s hard to navigate. That’s an issue with some websites too.

Not to mention, this specific course offers 24/7 tutor support which you’d have pay a lot of money for if you wanted a private tutor. This student room is great for such occurrence’s but they can take a while to reply but I would feel a little if a burden asking every time on here lol

well that’s my approach on it anyway. I’m not sure how the other guy feels about it

I get e-mails from studnets all the time, including in holidays - I am available every lunchtime and after school. I 'know' the student as a person and their individual strengths and weaknesses - why would anyone need uplearn if they are in a good school?

I can’t speak for the other guy but I’m an adult learner myself.

You honestly sound like a brilliant teacher. I went to a crap school and my teachers weren’t respected that well by students and in response didn’t have time for students but that’s something I would have to blame my parent for sending me to crap school but being a single uneducated woman herself, she just put me whichever was simpler for her. I could then point the blame at my nan for not being there for her but everyone has excuses.

Hence, it depends on an individual persons situation and not all of us are fortunate to have a good school and a good teacher.

I can understand your position but to go for Uplearn before the course has even started sounds a bit premature to me. About 90% of school are at least good and if we just looked at sixth form provision it's probably higher.

Uplearn is convenient way to get help when I need it. It even cues up the vids you need to watch if you get questions wrong. It is not an essential, but it works for me and I don’t mind paying for it. So far, I haven’t had to contact the tutors as I haven’t needed to, but it is good to know that extra level of help is there.

Overall my school is good and I think my maths teachers is great. He does have a life outside of school, so I don’t mind sorting issues out without his help when I can.
