The environment at the Community School is so supportive and inspiring and the superlative team of tutors were all incredibly friendly and very caring. All the sessions were tailored to my needs, which enabled me to quickly climb grades and swiftly improve. I attended tutoring for Maths, English and the sciences for my GCSE's. Astonishingly, I ended up receiving results that before, I could only dream of! It was always a pleasure to take part in the online sessions because of how organised and encouraging all the tutors were- this definitely helped motivate me to complete my work to my best ability. In the face-to-face sessions all the tutors were so welcoming and professional. Problems or inquiries that I had were quickly solved by the outstanding communication. I would highly recommend The Community Schools to anyone wanting to improve. With their high quality and highly rewarding services, your academic abilities will skyrocket.

Excellent tutoring. Helped me achieve the grades I wanted to go to Sixth-form. The staff are also very friendly.

Wonderful tutors and really helpful (moved up multiple grades). Also very flexible, i was able to do tutoring online from my home. Very pleased with my results thanks to them :)

We received my daughter's GCSE results last week and are absolutely delighted. We asked Community Schools for support in Yr 10 as she was struggling with both English and Maths. The tutors were amazing. All were online and 1:1. She went from a grade 4 in Yr 10 for both Englishes to a grade 8 in her final results and in Maths she went from a grade 5 to a 7!!! We cannot thank Community Schools enough. She will now be going into 6th form to study English Lit, English Language and Psychology.

My son had 5 weeks GCSE English Language tuition. My son found these sessions very useful. He really liked the tutor, she gave him a lot of support and the feedback was really good. The sessions were on time and the communication was excellent. Thank you very much for all your help.

"Would highly recommend". My 16 year old son became very depressed at home alone during lockdown and his School predicted he would fail his GCSE's. One-to-one tuition with fantastic teachers that believed in him and encouraged him boosted his confidence and made him believe in himself again. He passed his English, Maths and Sciences at GCSE and is now on his chosen course doing a BTEC in Applied Science at Suffolk One. We cannot thank the Community Schools enough.

We have been extremely impressed by the quality of the online tutoring provided by Claire and the Community School tutors. My daughter attended holiday booster sessions in both Maths and English, and then had weekly online Maths sessions with Claire. My daughter found all the sessions extremely helpful and well organised and they definitely helped to boost her grades - the school Maths teacher was so impressed with her improvement that she said my daughter could go on to do A-Level Maths if she wanted!! Thank you Community Schools!

Excellent, my son has benefitted from both the online group classes and one to one tuition online in English, and it has really helped him both in terms of his self-confidence and in knowledge and application of skills. I cannot recommend highly enough.
