Passed first time after 14 weeks with James. He was endlessly patient with my nerves and broke everything down so clearly. By the time I sat my test at Guildford I genuinely felt ready, not just hopeful.

I'd failed twice with another school before switching to Kingsway. Sophie spotted exactly what I needed to work on in lesson one. Three months later I passed with two minors. Worth every penny.

Did the 2-week intensive course with Daniel before starting uni in September. Tight schedule, zero stress. The mock test the day before the real one was a game changer. Honestly brilliant.
