I just wanted to say thank you to the My GCSE Science team, as without them I would’ve never achieved 9-9-9 in GCSE Triple Science! The videos are so well structured and it was much better than private tutoring I previously received. I’ve had it since Year 9 and I can honestly say that I wasn’t even sure if I was going to continue with Triple Science however I am so glad I did. Now I have the confidence to take Biology and Chemistry A-Level! September 2022
