Our platform has waved goodbye to a one-size-fits-all approach to learning & instead focuses on giving students interactive, personalised learning tailored to their specific weak spots. Students like Alyssa are unlocking their full potential, smashing targets & even having fun 🏆
Super exciting to hear that one of Up Learn’s students + soon to be tutor achieved a cool A*A*A*A* 🥶

We've all been hooked on a video game at some point
We’ve all told ourselves ‘just 5 more minutes’ so we can reach that next level. We’ve all had ‘one more go’ to try and beat our high score
What if we could replicate this effect in education?

We've released a new course, AQA Biology, for both Year 12 and Year 13 students! 🧬 Our course includes video lessons, exam practice questions, adaptive quizzes & more, giving students the best chance of succeeding in their final exams & achieving an A*/A in Biology ⭐
After a week of results, we'd like to take a moment to commend the teachers who determined their students' grades
You were given an immense responsibility and put under a huge amount of pressure this year, thank you for the work that you've done 👏

Matt - we cannot thank you enough for this incredible thread! What an amazing and thoughtful breakdown of how our platform works, along with how you are using it 💪📈💚

Reminder of the importance of predicted grades ‼️✍️
- Y12 summer mock results are often used to set predicted A Level grades
- Universities use these grades when deciding whether or not to make a student an offer
- Doing well in Y12 mocks can increase students' exam confidence!
Student stories like Gavin's are the reason we do what we do 💚 He was once a D grade student who felt completely hopeless, but our recall quizzes & exam papers helped him to become a confident A* Economics student who is off to university any day now! 🤩 👏
A top education will literally transform someone’s life. We envision a future where humanity can learn as efficiently as possible, where success is never in doubt and where all students can master their subjects.
With a 97% A*/A performance rate... we’re succeeding 🤩
The Up Learn Team are wishing A Level students the best of luck in their results today! We hope they are all pleased with their results & excited for the next chapter in life 🙌 🎉 🎓

goes away pretty quickly but, if your kids are still stuck at home when they hit A Levels, give us a shout - we're the best in the business💪
Wishing you and your family all the best🤞
Naomi found Up Learn particularly helpful with topics she struggled with, like electrochemistry, because the animation helps ⚗️
After using the courses in all of her subjects, she went on to achieve AAA in her A Levels & is studying Dentistry at university 🎓👏
Always a pleasure to hear from our ex-students.
Thank you Gurpreet and once again, well done for achieving your A Level grades, we're very proud!
All the best from the Uplearn Team!
Our team have received some lovely messages this academic year. Before, during, and after A Level and GCSE results day, the buzz has been fantastic 🤩
Naseema achieving her best grade in GCSE Chemistry, thanking Up Learn & wishing for more subjects has been a real highlight 💪
We've just released a Biology exam pack, with everything students need to feel confident in their exam. It includes recall quizzes, exam practice questions and sections on exam technique.
More content will be released for this pack over the next few weeks.
In light of recent news, we recognise the difficulties that parents and teachers may be facing while children are learning from home. We are here to help support remote learning wherever possible.
Preparation➡️
Set a min requirement of hours to be completed each week, choose specific subsections to be completed & embed Up Learn as homework!
Consolidation➡️
Allow students to use Up Learn how they want, track progress & use as an intervention tool to boost their grades!
Up Learn student Maria brought her Psychology grade from a D to a B, finding that the interactive video-quiz format really helped to consolidate her learning 📈 She is now on her way to an A & loving our platform 🤩
This is something we incorporate into our courses
While all study requires time and effort, we believe that learning effectively supercharges the process. Teaching students how to do so can make a huge difference
Thank you for sharing!

End of Year 12 mocks are approaching for many schools! Up Learn provides: Exam Practice Papers, Practice Exam Quizzes, and Exam Questions/Exam Technique Questions to ensure students are as prepared as possible 🤩
This year's A Level subject choices have shown some interesting trends, particularly that STEM subjects are on the rise 📈
If only there were a platform with STEM subject courses complete with animated video lessons, section quizzes, teacher dashboards & 24/7 access tutors... 💻
Up Learn student Alyssa achieved an A* in A Level Maths at just 13-years-old after using the platform. She particularly loved setting herself goals, using the XP as motivation, along with having 24/7 access to learning.
Check out the clip below - she is an inspiration 💚
