I am please with the progress Fariza has made in physics. Fariza has found the lessons interesting and beneficial and her understanding of physics has improved.

Gail Taylor (Mother) said...

We believe that Aimee has enjoyed attending the Physics Factory and this reflects in the recent grades that she has achieved.

Ruth Jackson (Mother) said...

The Physics Factory has been a really good experience for my daughter and I'm glad she has had the opportunity. She has achieved some excellent grades. The tuition she has received has given her confidence to tackle the exams. It seems that she has had more fun during her physics sessions than her contemporaries who did not take part. Any chance of extending to a Biology and Chemistry Factory?

Thank you for your commitment to teaching this subject.

Sandeep has spoken about the Physics Factory with great enthusiasm and excitement throughout last year and the beginning of this year. Her enthusiasm I think is shown through her A* in the physics retake exam, and this expresses her progress which I am sure is due to visits and help from the Physics Factory.

My daughter has spoken to me about the Physics Factory and I think she has learnt more in the specialised environment. Her grade could be a little more consistent but I feel that she has benefited.

Jawed Hussain ( Father) said...

My daughter has achieved excellent examination results after receiving tuition at the Physics Factory with all A's for different parts of her physics GCSE's. By regularly attending the Physics Factory the tuition has given her a better understanding of physics and all aspects of it. My daughter has always chosen physics to study at A Level and the Physics Factory has made it more easier for her further education. I am very grateful to the Physics Factory for giving my daughter the chance to study with them and the excellent education received by them. Thank you very much and keep the good work going.

I achieved better grades than I thought I would in most exams. the environment is very relaxed which motives me more to learn.

Lucy Jackson said...

I got higher grades than my predicted grades and achieved 1 A*.

Niamh Smyth said...

I never would have thought I would have got the grades that I did. The facilities available meant that we could do great experiments but it was still very relaxed.

Fariza Choudhury said...

My understanding of physics has improved greatly, it is a comfortable learning environment.

Adeba Alvi said...

I think that the Physics Factory is a relaxing place and it's comfortable. I am able to learn when I'm at the Physics Factory.

Ruby Higgins said...

It's really spacious and a good place to learn. I'm very happy with my 2 A*'s. Thank you for being a good teacher!

Sandeep Dhillon said...

I am very happy with the grades especially the A*!!. I feel comfortable, it is a good learning environment - Very spacious.

Holly Duggins said...

I am pleased with my grades as I was predicted a C but have been getting mostly A's and B's.

Gurpreet Malhi said...

The Physics Factory is a nice atmosphere to work in.

Tabitha Bytheway said...

I was disappointed with my B but very pleased with my A*. I think the Physics Factory is very organised and clean which makes a good working environment. the teaching style suits me a lot better here.

Aneesah Jawed said...

I achieved excellent grades. The environment was good, very relaxed atmosphere. Excellent teaching!

Kate Morris said...

I am very pleased with my A*. Although it's not a favourite subject of mine, the Physics Factory has definitely made me more interested and confident about physics.

Sophie Lister said...

After attending the Physics Factory I definitely enjoy physics more and have more of an interest in it.

Shannon Phillips said...

I think the Physics Factory is very welcoming and well structured for our needs. I understand physics more now than I did before.

Emma Grist said...

I have achieved much better than I expected to do in physics. thE Physics factory has given me the confidence to know that I am good at physics. I really enjoyed coming to the Physics Factory and I think other schools should have the opportunity to attend here.

Eleanor Lewis said...

I have done much better in physics that I ever expected I could. it is a relaxed but hardworking environment which is good. It has been very helpful and really improved my confidence using more interesting ways (practicals) to explain things. I have thoroughly enjoyed coming to the Physics Factory. Thank you!

Aemelia Taylor said...

The Physics Factory is good and interactive. It has helped me a lot, I've really enjoyed learning at the Physics Factory.

Rebecca Blick said...

My A and B grades are really good. The Physics Factory is a comfortable environment. The Physics Factory has allowed me to enjoy physics

Alexandria Strachen said...

The Physics Factory us spacious and clean, I feel relaxed when I come here.
Physics Factory Rocks!!!

Aimee Taylor said...

I achieved 2 A*. I understand different aspects of the subject more than before.

Shreene Patterson said...

I am happy with the grades that I got as physics is not a strong point for me. I have learned more at the Physics Factory, so I am better than I was before.

Priya Chamdal said...

I was never enthusiastic about physics, so receiving the grades I have I'm extremely pleased with. The Physics Factory is spacious and allows experiments to be carried out comfortabley
