Testimonials

Student Comments

The staff and teachers are really friendly as well as the students. It is much nicer than being in a formal school setting where things like, behaviour, uniform, assemblies, etc. are focused on more than actually getting you the best grade.

Tom

Teachers were all amazing, Malcolm deserves my A* more than me, always being full of energy. Nick is an awesome teacher, as is Sue and John. Thank you.

Kira

The teachers are very kind and understanding, and also realistic with their expectations of pupils. Being in small groups helped me to understand the topics as I was more comfortable in being able to ask questions. It was a more relaxed atmosphere. Teachers were friendly and always helped.

James

Teachers are very helpful and willing to give their time. Small groups definitely helped.

Becky

Very friendly and encouraging teachers. Feedback is much appreciated, especially doing the college test which helped me work efficiently. Especially when doing the AS and A2 in one year. I was encouraged and pushed to achieve my best by all my teachers. Being in small classes where we could discuss things was much better than being in a large group.

Joe

Could not have asked for better teachers. The college and motivated me to do my very best and thankfully I was able to secure a place for me at my chosen University.

Babak

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.

Rebecca

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.

Andrew

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.

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.

Kimberly

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.

Parent Comments

Just to say a big thank you and your teachers for helping my son. With his grades he was able to secure a place at the University of Kent to read Maths.

Mrs Deacon

We really wanted to say a huge thank you to all who tutored and mentored Marcus through his A-levels over the past two years. He really did enjoy his time at St Albans College, and under your guidance seems to have made a really great choice of degree course at Bath Spa University, where he has settled extremely happily. Thank you for all your patience and encouragement with Marcus, we are very grateful. ‘

Mr and Mrs Kendell

Thank you so much for taking our daughter Amelia under your wing and giving her the knowledge and structure to make the most of her abilities. A year ago we came to you as concerned parents with AS results of CDD, in just one year with St Albans College she has taken her AS exams whilst studying her A2 exams and achieved the amazing result of two A* stars and a B. We cannot thank you enough. Amelia has loved studying here with you and it has changed the course of her life for the better.
