Student Support Centre - Rip Off! Beware Advantages: None whatsoever Disadvantages: Too expensive. Tied into a 3+ year's contract with no means of parole We learnt about the Student Support Centre by searching online. Unfortunately, we did not read reviews about the centre first. If only we had. Now we are tied into a 3 year contract with Barclays Partner Finance to pay £3,700 pounds and we can't get our 6year old to watch the boring DVDs. Poor child! I initially tried to force her to but it was a struggle. She didn't enjoy the DVDs. In my opinion, what makes the program terrible is that you are not ... ...time for you to get the DVDs out of the box, get the child to watch and practice the exercises to see if it meets your requirement. To say the least, the contract terms are unfair and designed to snare the unsuspecting parent who they know will want to do anything to help their child in their education. ... marigold1 19.10.2009 · Read full review Review of The Student Support Centre	Quality of Text Interesting/Absorbing?

Collins 'Do Brilliantly at AS Biology' Advantages: Includes topics for Human Biology As level courses,contains key points for each topic and past exam questions. Disadvantages: Only 96 pages, doesn't go into that much detail. Its that time of the year again, and most of us who want to do well in exams will be scouring the shops for good, yet relatively inexpensive, revision guides. However, revision material for certain subjects like Human Biology, Environmental Studies and ICT is usually harder to come by than others.

Completely Painless!! Advantages: Develop good pronunciation; no writing, no books! Disadvantages: You need to have the opportunity to use the language regularly to become really confident. ...with a short introduction by Michel Thomas. In this he explains that you need not try and memorise or learn by rote. Similarly, there is no homework and no textbooks are used. This sounded good to me as this is the approach commonly used in the school system and for me at least, the school system didn't work! He then goes on to explain that you already know a lot more French than you might have realised. Over 60% of the English language has its ... ...one male and one female. Michel encourages you to join in with the class by using the pause button to allow yourself time to think. This is vital. At the beginning of the course, you are given a little thinking time with the CD running but if you don't use your pause button after that, you really won't have enough time to answer properly. This was a bit of a pain when driving as you can imagine! The two students are quite funny (the lady especially ... eleanor3142 14.07.2005 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Michel Thomas French CDs	Quality of Text Interesting/Absorbing?
