Absorb online learning was wonderfully…
Absorb online learning was wonderfully supportive to my son and his education, particularly during the COVID period and before. The tutors were great and quick to reply when help was needed. In my son's case he had, at times, found it challenging to fit in with the mainstream state school providers where subjectivity can impact on the treatment received in class. However, he found this independent learning to be very objective and perhaps a better measure of his ability and determination together with the quality of support received. All in all, it was an excellent service and helped to motivate my son to work hard (plus our investment in this external tuition) has this effort has paid off with good grades - thank you.

A level History
A level History
My son is interested in following an independent course for his History A Level. I looked around and decided to contact Absorb. I was contacted by a very helpful and enthusiastic member of their team, who was able to give a lot of really useful advice and information, both about the course structure and about independent study. We were given 24 hours access to the course itself so we could see the lessons, assessment and course content. . The same person called us back to discuss what we had thought of the course and was able to make the arrangements for my son to join. the course.
I was very pleased with the standard of the service and my son is very keen to get started. It was good that the Absorb staff member seemed so interested in and enthusiastic about the benefits of their online study course.

Very helpful and good communications given
I am overseeing 6 students taking the IGSCE course. They seem to be happy with it and Suzanna gives me regular updates on how the students are doing.
So far I am happy with the course.

Signing up was really easy and I was talked through my decision including all exam fees. I have yet to fully take advantage of my tutor and all of the help available to me but I am feeling positive about the course. The biggest criticism I have is that the lessons don't appear to be proof-read. The grammar is fairly atrocious and some sentences don't make sense so you have to pick apart the facts yourself.

A-Level Geography CIE. Highly Recommend.
I would really recommend Absorb. I initially enquired through their online chat where I was speaking directly with one of the Absorb tutors. Once I mentioned my desire to study the geography A-Level I was called by Bridgette, the geography tutor who was incredibly helpful and a delight to speak with. She was great in helping me decide which course was for me and had useful guidance tips. What's great is that Bridgette is a qualified geography teacher so you are dealing with a real expert. I decided to enrol and study the A-Level Geography CIE and since joining Bridgette has been a dream and is always happy to help. She's really patient and reassuring and is always happy to answer questions, no matter how many (and I ask a lot!). There is a group discussion board that Bridgette encourages us to get involved with, which is great because you're able to speak to and share ideas/content with others studying the same course. It also makes studying reassuring as you don't feel like you are alone in your learning. I was nervous about studying online, but Bridgette really is a professional so makes the experience so relaxing. The course consists of textbook like content packed with explanatory pictures and diagrams and there are also links to videos too which are really informative. After each topic there is an activity which helps to consolidate your learning and a mini quiz at the end to track you knowledge intake. My experiences so far have been so positive with Absorb and I am really glad I decided to enrol.

Definitely a five star,,
My daughter started learning with absorb a couple of weeks ago, She says she is understanding well and in turn studying well.. she really does enjoy the course. I think studying online is such a efficient and effective way of learning and would suggest it to anyone wanting to study.

Very Helpful Staff
Just signed up with Absorb and yet to see the course layouts, but I have spoken with them on 2 occasions and they have been incredibly helpful and informative and left no question unanswered.
Signing up was also incredibly simple and put me in a really positive state of mind towards beginning my courses.

I signed up a few weeks ago to study A level English Literature, and I've been impressed so far with both the communication I've received, and course material. The course seems to cover all aspects of the syllabus I require, and there are many links to other useful sources of information, and plenty of advice with regard to the exams themselves, and the skills that are required in order to successfully complete each component. I have made a start on the first part of the course, and am really enjoying it so far. As I have two years in which to complete the course, I am taking things slowly, as fortunately, there are no assignment deadlines, and I can therefore take my time with each unit. I look forward to studying the rest of the course, and both increasing my knowledge of English Literature/improving my essay writing skills in the process :)

Great Staff
I have just finished my first year...The reason behind my five star rating is simply because I have never been so impressed with an online learning provider - I'll admit that I have only ever studied with one other online learning provider but still then, Everything from when I first looked at Absorb's website to actually going through and studying with them has been clear and effective - and must I say the staff at Absorb are what truly makes it so remarkable for me... Looking forward to whats to come

Study on your terms
I like it because I can study when i’m motivated, when it suits me, I can fit it around my lifestyle - I study in the morning before I go to work and I study when my mind is clear and can absorb more (when I’m sat in a classroom I easily get distracted and learning with absorb has taught me to focus more and get more work done in less time!) Wouldn’t have it any other way.
