What do teachers say about this resource? (7059)

This resource is fantastic! It has allowed me to put together simple but incredibly effective, GCSE revision lessons with good feedback from the students. it is particularly useful because it requires no preparation on my part – I teach very small groups of students who need focused support, and the resources in the pack are ideal because they take things step by step, without being too simple, and effectively get the point across.
