Amazing Grades is a search engine that is moderated by teachers and tutors to save your child time when searching the web.

For example, a biology student using Google and wanting a quick review of “mitosis” will find a baffling 4.5 million sites on offer. A geography student who is struggling to come to terms with the effects of “river processes” might search Google to find an even more overwhelming 15 million hits.

Amazing Grades contains over 20,000 resources that have been mapped to the curriculum by our subject specialist teachers. This means that students can access safe, accurate and reliable resources at the click of a mouse, saving valuable time for the student.

Amazing Grades is aimed at and used by:

• Students who want to supplement their learning, access help on homework subjects, and help prepare and revise for up and coming examinations.
• Teachers preparing for lessons, drawing up lesson plans, and accessing additional information linked to the curriculum.
• Schools who want to provide their students an additional learning resource.
• Parents who want to help their children study smarter, and achieve the best grades possible.

Amazing Grades has been primarily designed for learners who are studying GCSE and AS/A2 level subjects. You'll also find resources for iGCSE, International Baccalaureate (IB), level 2 and 3 vocational subjects, Highers and Standard Grades.
