Learner Experiences
Learner Experiences
History is good because the topics are interesting such as the Great War and the Atlantic Slave Trade. Everything is explained really well and they make exam skills simple and easy to understand.
We receive materials and booklets to help us pass our assessments, taking the pressure off which I really like.
