Exam season is approaching, and, thanks to another volunteer coming forward and some shift in requirements, we have some capacity to help some more students with their homework, especially in a range of subjects up to GCSE level, and with biology up to A-level. We are also able to offer some guidance in preparing university applications and interviews.
If you'd like some help with understanding your homework or school notes, do get in touch with us at homeworkhelpsedgefield@gmail.com, or find us on Facebook. If we don't yet have anyone available in your subject area, we will do our best to find someone. The same means can also be used to contact us if you are able to offer help - we are always keen to welcome more volunteers, as we'd like to be able to help more students and never have to refuse anyone who is looking for a hand, at whatever level. We wish all the best to all students with their exam preparations!
