Absorb courses are great
Absorb courses are written in great detail. They are straightforward and are filled with endless PowerPoints and video presentations which are perfect for visual learners like myself. I had started the course with no hope, after being told by a different company that I wasn’t able to achieve my target grade in A-level English. Half way through the course at Absorb and I am now on my path way to achieve a definite A. All of my hard work is finally paying off, however I wouldn’t be in the same place as I am today without my tutor - Marie-Clare. Great thanks to the Absorb team and I will forever be grateful for helping me get into my teacher’s training course!

Perfect solution to home-schooling
Perfect solution to home-schooling!
The tutors talked me through the process and although my son had left school, he will be sitting his GCSE’s a year before all of his peers. With no hesitation I will be buying his next courses through Absorb.

100% recommend!
The learning materials are so structured and up to date. The website was very easy to use and and the courses flow in a logical pattern due to many assessments throughout the course which helped me stay on track with my studying.

Thought I would find maths difficult but the course is so well laid out it makes it easy. There's also lots of online tests so you can keep checking how well you are doing. They also have these smart revision tools that are brilliant.

I wish I had signed up with Absorb years ago. I put off getting started on maths year after year. Working with Absorb's tutors and their brilliant courses has finally got me past my fear of maths. This might sound geeky but I really enjoy maths now!

I had tried another course with another company and it was rubbish was just like a book. The ones with Absorb are full of videos and stuff that help you learn. Really enjoying it.

Really happy with the website very well layed out in terms of the study material and the end assessment of every topic is a really good way of tracking my understanding of that particular topic.

Very helpful and supportive tutors
Very helpful and supportive tutors, even at the weekend they were able to help me. If you need help, its easy to get it very soon which means you are not stuck at one point in your learning, waiting on a reply. Highly recommended :)

The tutors offered a lot of support throughout the year by answering my questions in great detail. I started a course with a different company and in comparison to that the courses at Absorb are a lot clearer and advanced

I really enjoyed the A-level physics course which included many video presentations along with quizzes at the end of each chapter. I also received a great amount of support from the physics tutor Leander, who was the reason I achieved an A pass. I couldn’t of done this in school.
Definitely worth it!
I had great fun working on my GCSEs and enjoyed studying online a lot more than I did in my school. The courses I studied had many videos that helped me understand the work and all of my questions were answered instantly by the tutors. Definitely worth the price and would recommend this

Unhelpful service
Given the circumstances that everyone is going through, the last thing you want is money being taken out of your account.
I used this service for 2 weeks, and cancelled my subscription. I didn't speak to any Tutor, as it wasn't even available to. My subscription was cancelled, fair enough I paid for the first month as I did use the service.
I then get an email a few days ago saying "thanks for your recent purchase!" Which sent alarm bells, so I logged back into my account, and noticed that Absorb had Renewed my subscription without my authority. So of course, I cancelled the subscription for the Second time, and sent them an email asking why this had happened as I cancelled my subscription.
Their customer service skills are quite lacking, and their responses are very blunt and abrasive. This got my back up and I asked them to not take any money out of my account and that I am not paying for a service that I haven't used since November, and used for 2 weeks. I then check today that they have taken money out of my account, despite me asking them not to, and again, have gone Against my word.
During times like this, this is not what you want, and I have now had to get my Bank involved with this to stop them taking more of my money. It's quite worrying that they still have access to my money and account details despite me deleting them...
Please be careful and read all reviews before making a decision to go with this company.
