Fantastic – a lot to go through so very useful for extension. Why spend hours creating resources when it has been done [for you]?

M Eames, HoD and Customer

Very Clear, easy to use, well structured, different way to approach reading practice. It looks at skills for reading rather than just focusing on vocabulary. it is a timesaver for me, knowing the resources are challenging, but achievable.

I loved this resource. Honestly, I had certain reservations as there is a lot out there that claims to target foundation level students, but they often just omit very high-grade vocabulary in vocabulary lists or don’t cover the subjunctive! This was very carefully tailored for foundation students.

S Sweeney, HoD and Peer Reviewer

A fantastic resource. It allows for differentiated teaching through the activities it provides (example answers / mark schemes) and also allows pupils to develop a real understanding and awareness of grammar needed - something that is sometimes forgotten in the rush and panic of an exam environment.

K Seazell, HoD and Peer Reviewer

This is a very good resource which I feel will appeal to many teachers. Students are well-supported throughout and there is no doubt that they will improve on many aspects of the target language thanks to this well thought out resource. I personally enjoyed it and I know my students will enjoy it too.

S Dumond, Teacher and Peer Reviewer

This resource matches the specification well and covers all required aspects of the syllabus in more than sufficient depth for students to be able to write at length in the target language in the writing exam.

Much needed structured support for students who struggle with listening skills. It concentrates on developing the skills needed rather than vocabulary practice as in all text books. Very clear recordings.
