Online/home school

I’m currently looking at completing a levels (psychology and biology) online issues. Any recommendations for online schools/websites? I’m looking at Oxbridge home learning or Open study college but any reviews would be much appreciated as there is not much info.

I'm doing my A-levels with Oxford Open Learning, I'm not sure if they have the exact courses you're looking for, but if they do I HIGHLY recommend them.
Other options I've seen are kings inter high (an online school) but there is a lot of live classes with them so it's not nearly as flexible as OOL.

Hi, I’m also looking to complete Psychology A Level online. Will be doing Bio and Chem at a college. My question is; how easy is it to complete Psychology online as opposed to face to face?

Can I ask what sort of support you get from tutors at Oxford Open Learning? Do they mark assignments and support via phone or email? And do you do mock exams as part of the course?

There's a good amount of support. You can email your tutors at any time, and you can also book phone calls for any queries. They call you at the beginning of the course to explain everything, and from then on they won't make you do any calls unless you wish (unless you are doing a course like Spanish, where the speaking segment will obviously be done over the phone for your assessments)

There are no mock exams, but every month or so there is a TMA (tutor-marked assessment) that is marked the same way as full exam paper. They mark it over email.

I studied with Open Study College last year and they were brilliant. Great support. Oxbridge have gone bust according to trustpilot reviews.

I would recommend open study college! I have studied with them and they were great. Also a warning, oxbridge have gone in to administration and still talking peoples money by the looks of it!
