Description

amazing grades is an online education package that gives you access to a wealth of educational resources for 14 to 19 year-olds, all screened, vetted and annotated by educational experts. In 2001, our team of subject specialist teachers started compiling the best online resources to take the risk and uncertainty out of studying using the Internet. Today, they have reviewed, rated, individually annotated and mapped to the curriculum over 20,000 resources for more than 35 subjects (and growing by the day) for 14 to 19 year-olds. These are not all the resources on a particular topic - they are just the best ones. The resources are ranked by relevance and learning style and every single resource states who it is for and why it is useful, which saves time and guarantees accuracy when studying online.

amazing grades is useful for:

• Students who want to supplement their learning, access help on homework subjects, and help prepare and revise for up and coming examinations
• Teachers preparing for lessons, drawing up lesson plans, and accessing additional information linked to the curriculum; Schools who want to provide their students an additional learning resource
• Parents who want to help their children study smarter, and achieve the best grades possible.

amazing grades is a subscription based service. Schools can buy a licence to use the site which enables students to access the resources from home and from school. If the school does not have a current subscription, parents can buy an individual licence that will give their child their own account.
