Reviews
"This school is a nightmare!! They lie about what they can deliver, they do not work with students, they do not care about student rights, and they try to charge you full fees without ever taking a class there. Please do not deal with this school!! Everyone should not that they take advantage of foreign families, lie, cheat and steal! Buyer beware!"
"While moving to London we looked for a school where (beside high standard academics) our self-motivated 17 years old would be treated as an adult and also felt understood and supported, where the teachers and the students would be kind to each other, were the rules would be respected and they would also make sense nowadays, where time would be valued (hence, no unnecessary reunions or meetings) and the students would be encouraged to manage it well and trusted as to their ability to optimise their independent learning while outside the classroom (for example, deciding whether to stay in the school's library during free blocks and after classes or to study at home). MPW London has exceeded our expectations both in the quality of academics and in the school’s ethos. Our daughter has been happy with all four of her A-levels classes while also maintaining motivation and interest in them all and performing very well academically. As parents we know that this wouldn't have been possible without highly qualified and passionate teachers. MPW teachers also showed genuine care about our daughter as a student and a person, noticed her being tired or unwell, accommodated her (very sparse) deadlines extension requests. While it is very individual, MPW London has proven to be the perfect choice for our family, and we cannot recommend it more—also to other international students."
"I have studied at MPW for 2 years and I think it is a super welcoming and comfortable environment. My teachers are always happy to go the extra mile to help me in any way they can, teaching me life skills as well as the syllabus I need, to get the best possible grades I can. MPW has pushed me to be the best I can and has helped me realize my potential to follow my dream. I have really enjoyed studying at MPW and highly recommend it to anyone who is considering joining!"
"Went there for 4 years. Teaching was not bad but there was not one ounce of pastoral care and no emotional support. I made a big mistake going there. The teachers were even less supportive than the pupils. I appreciate their main goal is to get students through their exams and on to university but the college was generally disinterested in helping anybody with problems which usually come when going through adolescence. This was a long time ago and I hope for current and future pupils' sakes that things have changed."
"went here for 3 weeks as a student with high expectations. didn't learn a single thing and the people there were absolutely unsupportable rich kids. the classes are way too small and most of the classes were overly easy and bad overall. definitely do not recommend to anyone at all except if you want to waste a hell load of your own money :) wish i could give it less than 1 star. xoxo"
