Joel was initially very quick to respond and listen to the requirements for my daughter. He put in place Emma to to assist and she helped my daughter lift her grade from an E at the mocks to a B in the real A Level. This was more than enough to help her achieve the required UCAS points for her first choice university, so would definitely recommend.

Alex and Joel have really helped my daughter get back on track with her schoolwork after a stressful time. They are so positive and helpful - it’s been a lifesaver for us.

We highly recommend the services of ILS. Both Alex and Joel were very encouraging and shared their invaluable knowledge and experience in guiding our son in revision techniques for his exams. We were very impressed with their professional care and helpful approach. We especially loved how they involved the parents in the last session.

Our son has just finished his three revision sessions with Joel and Alex and we highly recommend. He has enjoyed the sessions, found them helpful and Joel and Alex were both really great with him. We have also signed up to three tutors with the system and so far so good! Great system, and something that is missing in today’s schools!

Alex, Joel and Ella from ILS have been so helpful in giving both myself and my daughter some good advice and guidance with regards to preparation for GCSE revision. They were kind, patient and encouraging. My daughter has found the revision programme sessions with Alex and Ella very helpful in aiding her to understand how to create a manageable revision programme, understanding revision techniques and mindset that will give her a good foundation for her exams next year. Thank you ILS Team!

I would highly recommend Joel, Alex and Ella at ILS if your child is struggling with the pressure of the exams and not knowing the best way forward. They have provided a realistic and manageable revision framework as well as coping strategies which will hopefully help over the next few months. Many thanks !!

ILS has been amazing for my son whilst preparing and studying for his GCSE's. He started with the revision course which gave him the tools to organise himself and figure out the best methods for his way of studying, it also gave him a structure of when to study. His tutoring sessions with Joel have been encouraging and engaging which makes his GCSE journey more enjoyable! Would highly recommend.

A really supportive and flexible approach to tutoring. Having tutors that specialise in subjects is really helpful, as well as having a bank of tutors which meant that if my daughter didn't click with the first tutor there were others she could try. My daughter has had GCSE English support as well and using the revision services that ILS offer. She gained so much confidence and is much more relaxed about her approach to revision. Money well spent!

We highly recommend ILS for any student who is currently doing their GCSE course. It has been hugely beneficial for my son who is currently preparing for his mocks. Both Joel and Alex gave him very valuable support regarding revision and wellbeing strategies. If your child is feeling overwhelmed or anxious, do not hesitate to give them a call.

I cannot recommend ILS highly enough! Joel and Alex are simply incredible. My sons (16 and 14) find them both so inspirational and motivating. Joel is just a few years older than my sons and is a fantastic role model, not to mention wonderfully smart. They create a formidable team and have lead my boys brilliantly. One of my sons was in year 10 and struggling so much with his ADHD to focus on maths (or anything academic!) and Joel has managed to take him from the lower paper to the higher paper in maths in a matter of a couple of months! We are thrilled! My other son is going into year 10 now and just embarking on a revision program with both Joel and Alex and I feel so grateful and relieved to have found the company. Because the revision techniques and study habits they have devised and are building are so clear and easy to follow. My sons feel so supported and championed but also they feel that healthy pressure to be challenged, problem solve, meet deadlines and complete work. I just don’t have the time as a single, working mum to do this all myself and stay on them all the time. It’s the best money I’ve ever spent to utilise the services of ILS to do this because I’m never not going to be their mum either! They don’t want to listen to ME - even if I was worth listening to! Give them a go! You won’t regret it. Thanks so much ILS and Joel and Alex!!! FIVE STARS!
Thank you so much,
