New for 2024! GCSE BOOST

For the first time this year, we are running GCSE sessions. There are a variety of options at GCSE - aware that people teach different second religions but (almost) everyone delivers Christianity and moral issues so these are the areas we are focusing on along with exam technique. As with the A level: each session can be booked directly at £30 per session for whole school access either watching live or using the recordings later. There is a 20% discount if you book all 5 sessions, so you can book all 5 sessions for £120 either by emailing us info@chriseyreteaching.com or by booking the first 4 sessions below and we'll automatically add you to the 5th session.
