An honest opinion

Overall very helpful, easy to revise topics and insightful videos; nothing is perfect however.

I have maths and physics (Edexcel and OCR) as Up Learn courses. I find the videos very helpful a huge majority of the time and the idea of checking your understanding whilst watching the video. There has been several instances, however, where the answer you wrote would be marked correct by a professional teacher however is marked wrong because of the system. In addition some of the maths questions are just painful to answer and much of which is common knowledge but if skipped the same video keep playing continuously.

Despite all this, this does still allow me to do more revision of those subjects and I am very grateful that my school has provided us with it because it has shown me some very insightful methods and has helped me understand certain things much more as explained with a new method. Allows me to check my understanding of topics clearly with practice questions and has given me loads of very useful advice.

Hi Anna,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review 🌟

It is great to hear that you are loving our videos and the questions that help test your understanding as you progress through the course!

I completely hear your frustration that progress gets harder and harder as you progress, but I just want to reassure you that you are doing great and this is exactly how it should be, and how you know you are progressing! It will get harder to increase your Up Score as you progress, and this is because you have burned through the easy initial materials and start diving into those tricky topics and questions that really push you that notch up to A/A* level. Keep up the hard work and we are sure it will pay off in those final grades for you!

Saying this, if you would like personalised support from our tutors, please do drop us a message and we would be happy to have a look into your account and provide tailored advice on how best to target your studies going forward to make sure you hit that 90% and that A/A* grade 💪

Thank you for being part of the Up Learn family 💚

I do A level Biology on Uplearn and it is definitely the best resource i have found for A level biology. However it does not instantly give you an A star you still need to put in the work and it has definitely made my learning more efficient and i would definitely reccomend it especially if you struggle to remeber things like me.

I have barely touched Uplearn

I have barely touched Uplearn. I use Uplearn for maths and I just started going back through it yesterday it feels like i skipped months worth of anki. I don't know if it is helpful or not. Should I be taking notes on lessons. It seems okay I guess, I mean I think you're better off with tutoring. I want to get a full refund back so badly though, because it just isn't right for me I think.

Uplearn chemistry and physics

Uplearn is such a life saver. I use it for chemistry and physics and it makes learning content so much easier than trying to understand it from a textbook and it also simplifies hard topics in a way that makes sense and it gives you a deeper understanding. Everything is in one place which makes revising less stressful. It might seem expensive but it's honestly such a good investment as you're investing in your education and it's overall cheaper than having a tutor for two years. I wouldn't rely on it entirely, and I still flip through the textbook or do some extra questions, but overall I would say 90% of my out of school revision, consolidation and learning happens on uplearn.
The tutors are also all really good and kind, however if you're still stuck on a topic or question don't hesitate to go out of uplearn for the answer. Lastly, plan to set aside a considerable chunk of time each week or day to do some uplearn as it does require a commitment. Overall I would definitely recommend.

Memorising made easy, for a price.

The science of learning has evolved greatly over the past decade. Nowhere is it more obvious than Uplearn. In this program it teaches you the science and logic of learning and memorisation and then uses this to take the wheel in teaching you everything you need to know for your subjects, and yes it has all of the exam boards.

The 5 min, bite sized format really helps for every second of time you have, and the repeated re-questioning of what you just learned embeds that knowledge deeply.

It's not all sunshine and rainbows. This is not a teacher replacement, having a teacher for exam technique is still critical, and some of the topics don't include one or two pieces of extra depth. The price, unless your school negotiates or dedicates funds for it, is insane. Even with a good deal from the company we paid £75 per subject for 2 years (A-Level) out of the student pocket. Without, it is closer to £400. Hence the 4 stars.

The statistics speak for themselves, my state school has the top 1% psychology grades up from just about average. Pretty insane. On top of this customer service responds within an hour 24/7. No bugs or issues yet.

Overall, I'm incredibly glad to have it but it is disconcerting how "pay to win" it is.

Edit: Uplearn has since replied and informed me that they offer free Uplearn enrolment for every full paid enrolment. This is a very good business model.

Hi Ollie,

Thanks so much for the review! It’s amazing to hear how Up Learn has made a difference for you and your school - it’s incredible to see those results!

We’re so glad the incremental learning lesson layout and active recall methods are working well for you. Making sure students truly remember what they learn is super important to us.

Our courses contain everything you need to get your A*/A, including exam technique walkthrough videos to show you how to answer exam questions. If you ever feel you'd like a bit more of an in-depth discussion on a topic, our tutors are always available to help.

We'd also love to hear more about your experience with Up Learn and discuss the value it brings, so please don’t hesitate to reach out!

We agree that education is transformational and should be available to all, so we are really proud to say that for every person that pays for a course with us, we give free access to a student who can’t afford to.

Your feedback truly means a lot to us - it helps us improve and stay focused on our mission!

really amazing i learn best from videos though not notes or flashcards so if your the type to learn through interactive videos then definitely consider uplearn. seriously, i can literally see all the concepts happening which makes it easier to know. really clever idea of having your knowledge score decrease over time if you havent revisited areas. bit pricey though.

Hi Ibz,

Thanks for taking your time to leave us feedback - it’s great to hear you’re finding the resources helpful for understanding the material!

We totally get that being asked questions upfront can feel a bit tricky, especially when you're still getting to grips with the topic. The idea is to get those brain cogs turning.

But also, did you know that with pre-video quizzes, if you answer all the questions correctly you are able to skip the video. The video will be ticked off and you will also gain Up Score.

Keep up the amazing work and get in touch if you need more tips about using the course!

LOVE!!

Absolutely love this as a consolidation of knowledge, I use this for A level economics. I didn't take economics at GCSE which is why in class I feel unprepared as I am in year 12 and since it is early on in the year, most of the topics we have done have been briefly discussed in GCSE previously. UpLearn has made me feel confident in my understanding of topics and is great to consolidate for my knowledge. At the start of the year I got an average of 45-50% in my first exams, I got a test back for macro economics recently where I hadn't really had time to revise for due to external issues and I got 70%! The only revision I would have really done was the previous consolidation of knowledge I had done with UpLearn's resources. 100% would recommend.

Great for learning. Videos can feel a bit repetitive. Questions can be extremely specific on what answer they require which can be annoying when you have to the correct answer but it is still marked as wrong

Hi Nikolai,

Thank you for the review! We're so pleased that you're finding the platform useful for your studies.

We understand that sometimes the videos might feel a bit repetitive but it will help really solidify the knowledge you're gaining. You can also speed watch the videos at 1.5/2x by changing the settings :)

About our mark scheme, we agree it isn't perfect so we are working to improve the answer recognition system. We originally designed the marking to be strict, in order to encourage you to be as accurate as possible in your answers, but we totally appreciate the feedback. If you feel you've been incorrectly marked wrong, make sure to click 'report a problem' so our team can review it and adjust your score if necessary.

Keep up the good work - you’re doing great! And we're just a chat away if you need support with anything.

Only good for remembering content

The questions are way too easy and are not Hard or exam style. It is only good for saving time from making flashcards, so you can use it for keeping content fresh in your mind.
The explanations from wrong questions in quizzes dont make too sense. It needs more content linked to it.

Hi Muhammad,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. It’s lovely to hear the platform is proving useful for revision and taking notes.

Your feedback is also super valuable as it really helps us to understand what you would like to see in your courses 💚

Finding our in-video and topic quizzes easy to understand shows you’re really on board with the lessons, so well done for getting to grips with that content! To move onto that next level of exam level questioning, we have our exam practice questions and exam-how tos, arranged by all the topics in the spec. These are exam-style questions aimed at challenging your understanding of the content, and are typically more difficult than the in-video questions. Could you let us know if you’ve had a go at any of these and how you found them?

Our practice exam papers are another excellent way to prepare. They are designed to precisely mimic your actual exams, not just in the format but in the exact topics, difficulty levels and questions styles that you’ll see on your exam day 💪

Finally, our 24/7 tutoring service is always available to provide more detailed explanations or help clarify any concepts you’re unsure about.

We thank you for your feedback once again, and we’d really love to be able to chat with you further, so please get in touch on our live chat or email us at team@uplearn.co.uk 😊

Not Just Learning, But Mastering

Learning the material is one thing, but truly understanding it is something else entirely—and that’s where Up Learn has been revolutionary for me. Simply memorizing formulas or processes doesn’t cut it, especially in challenging A-Level subjects. Up Learn doesn’t just teach; it makes sure you actually understand every concept in depth, breaking things down in a way that sticks. I recently scored an A* on my Pure Year 2 Math exam (Chapters 1-4), and I genuinely owe a huge part of that success to Up Learn.

While I did put in the work with past paper questions from PMT and Madas maths, Up Learn was the foundation that made all the difference. Its clear explanations and adaptive tools ensured that I wasn’t just going through the motions but actually mastering the material. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to go beyond surface-level learning and achieve top grades.

For anyone skeptical and thinking these reviews might be written by bots—believe me, I thought the same thing! But once I tried Up Learn, I knew the reviews were the real deal. This platform has completely transformed my understanding and results.

This is actually my second review because I’m genuinely that impressed that such a website actually exists. Thank you to the tutors, thank you to the animators, audio engineers and just everyone at Up learn from the bottom of my heart.
