Student Success Story 😊
Matilda completed our A Level Edexcel English Literature course in just five months and achieved an A grade. Here’s what she had to say.
I bought the A Level Edexcel English Literature course, I really enjoyed the prose and drama texts from A Streetcar Named Desire, Hamlet, Frankenstein and Never Let me Go. The poetry was fine, and the coursework texts were fun, they were Wuthering Heights and The Bloody Chamber. I got my results today and it was an A!
I'm glad, especially since it was about 5 and a half months in all I spent learning everything. They don't recommend doing it in that time crunch but I think if you you can make it work, go for it. I started in December with their black friday £100 off sale and decided to just go for it, and finished in May, and it paid off. I just wanted to thank the CloudLearn team. The lessons all had quite nice designs, with themes, meanings and close text analysis quite useful for mocks and the real exams. I would recommend.
