Working together
“Before our relationship began, we wondered about how we would work with Wolsey Hall and our perception of this underestimated how great it has been,” says Julie Holdsworth, Head of Studies.
“Parents and students were wary of the process too and how it would all fit in with our existing offering. All these fears have been allayed as we have proven to parents that following this detailed structure, with regular reviews, works. Once our students complete the curriculum, it feeds nicely into the rigorous revision programme we have as well. The quality of the courses and materials, along with the Tutor feedback, has overcome any concerns.”
“We find it works very well with this three-way communication and to have more control and management with the support of Wolsey Hall,” continues Julie. “We see a noticeable difference in the student’s independent learning skills once they start on Wolsey Hall courses.”
Adaptable models of learning
Some schools use their own staff to support students while on the courses. “Wolsey Hall motivates students by enhancing the inherent resources within each person,” explains Fran Durillo, Spanish tutor and Psychology mentor. “It also provides the necessary learning strategies to achieve desired academic goals. Additionally, it considers fundamental emotional aspects so that students feel good and can face tasks and fulfil them successfully.”
“Technology is an additional incentive that adds resources and generates skills that are added to the teaching-learning experience. All of this accompanies our students throughout the training process with Wolsey Hall through MTA. I have always believed that knowledge makes us free. Wolsey Hall gives us the freedom to learn, offers varied stimuli, guides but does not direct, motivates and cares about the student, and promotes their maturity.”
The future
“We see our relationship with Wolsey Hall becoming bigger and better in the future,” says Julie. “We would like to expand the service to offer courses to more students. With the new Wolsey Hall for Schools package, we can see how it will work better for certain students based on the model of learning.”

We love the structure that partnering with Wolsey Hall has given us. It’s a proper programmed approach to learning so the student is following a detailed structure and we know exactly where they should be and when they are doing it. It has helped us to manage the students’ studies much better.
