Coming from an intensely pressurised school where grades meant everything I had lost my confidence when I didn’t get the grades or university course I wanted. St Albans College completely changed this. Not only did I receive amazing individual support from my tutors. I also felt that they really valued my emotional well being. All of them told me I could do it when I didn’t believe in myself. I was amazed and ecstatic to find I got two As in Music and English and I am heading off to Cambridge armed with the new found knowledge St Albans College has taught me.

The teachers here believe in you and will do everything they can in helping you to not just achieve your target grades but even exceed them and do better. It’s not however just down to the teachers, you yourself need to stay focused and on track in order to do this. It’s a friendly environment where you will be treated like an adult and given enough responsibilities. The teachers will also address the main issues that you have with exam technique and revision and will therefore help you to achieve better grades in future exams.

Unbelievable results. Kind and helpful teachers who are always available. A thousand times better than anywhere I’ve been before. I’m not kidding, I failed two exams in my old school and got a A*’s here. Not only did I have the pleasure of working with warm hearted, patient, persistent professional teachers, but the unique thing about St. Albans College is the individual attention you receive from each teacher. Really, really cool.

I found the teachers to be very friendly and encouraging. Being taught in small groups helped to get work done quickly and efficiently, especially when doing a one year course where you are having to complete your AS and A2-levels in a year.

St Albans College is a great College with small classes and very friendly teachers and was an excellent place for me to have a second stab at my A-levels. Thank you.
