I have been associated with Doncaster Tutors & Exams as a parent since they... opened in 2020. My son was registered with them for GCSE, AS and A level exams from 2020 – 2024 as a home educated student. He sat 5 GCSE level subjects, 2 AS subjects and 3 A level subjects – a total of 19 individual exams. The cost of the exams reflected the competent, skilful administration and excellent teams associated with all of the exam process.All staff encountered and with which we had communication, were always professional, friendly and efficient in their contact and manner. The two managers of the service we encountered were enthusiastic about making the service and the team as helpful and efficient as possible, whilst remaining approachable. This reflected in all their staff being the same. I emailed frequently over the four years with every possible exam-related query and all replies arrived promptly with great understanding and compassion.Two of the nineteen exams were sat remotely during the exam covid period - the administration of this was efficient and within the stipulated rules - and demonstrated the resilience and adaptability of the Doncaster team to manage this.My son required access arrangements in all his exams and the AA team (not based in Doncaster), were equally helpful, professional and efficient. They worked hard to ensure we understood the AA process and timeline, and the evidence required, going the extra mile with specific help.We visited the Doncaster centre several times before my son started his exams and this helped with familiarisation. The centre is based in a commercial estate and has expanded to two buildings since our first visit 2020. The location is ideal with lots of parking nearby at the Lakeside shopping centre with cafes and shops and a hotel only minutes away. The staff accommodated our visits with ease and were always welcoming.During his exams, my son experienced excellently trained invigilators who understood his needs and he felt safe and knowledgeable about what he needed to do in each exam. Any queries were quickly dealt with. The exam room itself was clean, comfortable and professionally set up – a toilet was available for use as necessary. General letters, information and results were accessed through the T&E portal which was easy and effective to use.Despite being one of many students and parents being helped to sit exams at D&E Doncaster over the 4 years, both my son and I never felt like numbers – nothing was ever too much trouble. My son reached his personal goals by being able to take national exams with T&E Doncaster, and is now on the next step of his journey, about to start university. We will always be thankful for all their endeavours to help make this happen.read more
My older son took his GCSEs here in 2024, and passed them all very well. The... Doncaster team are really friendly and helpful and on results day they responded to my queries very quickly - within minutes. Very professional team and location is good too, easy to find. Alternative location used for days when lots of candidates were sitting exams with a little bit further but again easy to find and no problem at all. 5 stars to the Tutors & Exams team :)read more
We found the help and guidance given by Tutors and Exams in Doncaster to be... first class. Thanks to Hannah for all the support.read more
My daughter Boba has sat exams at the Doncaster centre for the passed few... years. I can not praise the staff there highly enough.From our first visit 2022 the staff have always been so helpful and accommodating of their needs.Emails and queries are always answered quickly and with kindness and professionalism. Bo has a 1-1 invigilator and once again they have always gone above and beyond to help them feel comfortable. After each exam they have always said the invigilator was ‘lovely’.We have hopefully come to end of sitting exams as a private candidate but if the need arose we would definitely use Doncaster T&E again.read more
The staff at the Doncaster centre are extremely professional and sensitive to... the needs of the students. In a potentially stressful environment where many students are travelling significant distances to an exam location, the staff are calm, fair, approachable and human. As a parent I was concerned and I know my daughter was dreading attending the centre as it was a new unknown place, in a different city at a very stressful time but on arrival it was clear that this was a well run centre with great staff. I can't thank Hannah and her team enough and would definitely recommend this Tutors & Exams centre in Doncaster. Aread more
I took my exams at the alternative centre as the main one was full. The first... day was a little disorganised with everyone standing around waiting to go into the hall - fortunately, we all got in on time. The latter days went smooth and the process as a whole was simple. Thanksread more
Hi. I was a candidate at this exam centre. The service was amazing with the... staff always being friendly and the facilities being top notch. They are open to all types of candidates and they catered to my Aspergers, even allowing me to keep the same seat for all my exams. All in all, I would recommend this exam centre to everyone.read more
I'm a mature student. I took physics, math and biology at A-level this year.... When most places where already had fully booked labs, miraculously they (Tutors and Exams ) managed to squeeze me in after contacting me, that there was a cancellation. This way I didn't have to travel out from London to Birmingham, and I've done everything here, locally.Whenever I had a question regarding anything, they were quick and helpful with their responses. Let me mention, one reply was written at 5am, which just shows the hard work they provided for us.They kept me/us updated with all the bits and bobs Ofqual released on the 2021 summer exam series.I had a family tragedy not long after the practical endorsement, and they were most supportive, giving me extra time., which I will be forever grateful.Since I successfully passed both physics and biology practical endorsement, and this couldn't have been done without these guys.So yeah, the price for exams are the same everywhere. But if you decide to give your money to Tutors and Exams, you will be in good hands for sure.read more
I cannot fault Tutors and Exams. We were so confused and stressed about exams... during the Covid situation and were so unsure of what to do. T&E answered every single question I had (there were sooooo many questions) and always took the time to explain everything. The exams were a little more expensive than we're used to paying but it was worth every penny for the amount of help that they gave us.The whole TAG process this year was clear cut and organised perfectly and ran smoothly for myself and for other parents in the home ed community.I cannot recommend them highly enough. Well done on handling this whole year with such expertise and Thank you!read more
I sat exams for an AQA GCSE qualification here after studying privately. It's a... very professional setup. There's an online portal where they upload all documents and notices relating to your exams. They have a big exam hall and there was an independent invigilator there to ensure proper running of the exams on the day. The location is great being just a few minutes drive away from M18-J3 and the Lakeside Village shopping centre in case you need food or drink. The staff are great at making you feel relaxed and at home. Good luck to all those taking exams!read more
