What students achieve.
These are real projects from real students. The topics are theirs. The grades speak for themselves.
What students say
In their own words.
Amara, Year 13
"To what extent is AI sentencing in criminal justice systems ethically justifiable?"
I had no idea where to start with my EPQ. After just a few sessions I had a clear plan and actually enjoyed writing it. I ended up with an A* and used it in my personal statement.

James, Year 12
"How did the printing press fundamentally alter the balance of political power in early modern Europe?"
My tutor helped me see that my argument wasn't focused enough — that one session completely changed the direction of my project. I went from feeling lost to knowing exactly what I was doing.
Priya, Year 13
"To what extent does social media use contribute to anxiety disorders in adolescents?"
I went from a C draft to an A* submission. The feedback was honest and exactly what I needed — no sugar-coating, just clear guidance on what to fix and how.

Theo, Year 13
"Was the Treaty of Versailles the primary cause of the rise of National Socialism in Germany?"
I was really struggling to make my argument analytical rather than just descriptive. The sessions helped me understand the difference and completely transformed my writing.
Chloe, Year 13
"How effective are cognitive behavioural therapy techniques in treating eating disorders in young women?"
The production log was the part I was most worried about. My tutor showed me exactly what to write and how to frame my reflections — it ended up being one of the strongest parts of my submission.

Marcus, Year 12
"Artefact: short film exploring identity and belonging in second-generation immigrant communities"
I did an artefact EPQ and wasn't sure how to write the accompanying report. The guidance I got was specific and practical — I knew exactly what the examiner wanted to see.
