Up Learn provides courses that cover the full specification for every exam board we support. Students can learn from scratch or revise for exams - the course adapts to where they are and what they need.
Our courses are designed, written, and quality-checked by subject specialists and examiners who know exactly what each exam requires. The technology layer - adaptive learning paths, progress tracking, guided exam practice - makes the experience personal and efficient. But the standard is set by people and not machines.
Expert examiners design every Up Learn course. They create the content, structure, and set the standard. Our technology personalises it, tracking your progress, identifying gaps, and adjusting your path in real time. No wasted time. No gaps left behind.
This isn't generic AI content. It's expert-led teaching, made smarter.
Pick your subject and exam board. We cover the full specification. Nothing missed, nothing extra.
Interactive video lessons designed to be clear, concise, and make learning stick. Start from scratch or jump to what you need.
Your progress is tracked across every topic. When you need more practice, your path adjusts automatically.
Online support is always available, from our fully trained AI chat, through to tutors and marked exam papers.

to those who need it
Up Learn was founded on a simple idea: that the quality of a student's exam preparation shouldn't depend on whether they can afford a great tutor or happen to attend a great school. Our team includes experienced subject specialists, examiners, engineers, and education researchers — all focused on building courses that actually improve results.
Founder and CEO
Guy started his first business at just 13 years old, which he successfully sold 7 years later. He self-studied his way to straight A*s at A Level using cognitive science techniques, and graduated from Imperial College London with a first in Mechanical Engineering. He also spent time working for Credit Suisse and Zopa. While at university Guy had a secret life running student club nights, booking acts like Wiz Khalifa and selling out Ministry of Sound.
For every course purchased, we give a free course to someone who needs it. Working with our trusted access charity partners, we’ve already provided over 50,000 Up Learn Scholarships to students across the UK.

If you complete Up Learn and don’t get an A*/A grade in your exam, you get your money back. All you have to do is send us a copy of your official exam-board-issued results document with your full name and grades via chat or email, and we’ll process your refund immediately – no questions asked.
Our research has found that the more time students spend on Up Learn, the more their grades improve. For some students, it makes sense to complete the Up Learn GCSE Combined Science course — these students unlock the 8–8 Money-Back Guarantee. Other students will use Up Learn to patch specific gaps in their knowledge, without needing to complete the course. These students won't aim to unlock the money-back guarantee, but can still go on to achieve 8–8 (or whatever their target grade is). This is similar to how students would use a tutor.
If you complete Up Learn and get an 8-7 or below in AQA GCSE Combined Science (Trilogy, Higher Tier), you get your money back. All you have to do is send us a copy of your official exam-board-issued results document with your full name and grades via chat or email, and we’ll process your refund immediately — no questions asked.

Absolutely! Whether you pay monthly or in one go, as long as you complete your course to 90%, we’ll refund everything you paid.
Our guarantee covers all payments towards sitting an official exam. That covers you if you take a GCSE early, sit an AS Level, or if you purchase during Year 10 or Year 12, and then renew the following year - everything gets refunded!
If you are doing a course such as AQA Psychology or AQA Physics (where Papers 1 and 2 are standardised, but you can choose which topics to answer on Paper 3), you may find that the Paper 3 topics that Up Learn covers do not match what you are covering in school. If you are doing optional content that is different to the content covered by Up Learn, our guarantee still applies to Paper 1 and Paper 2.
Up Learn's GCSE Science course is built specifically for AQA Combined Science (Trilogy). Students studying AQA Combined Science (Synergy) are still welcome to use Up Learn, and many find it very helpful for building understanding. However, Synergy is assessed differently and is not an exact match to our course. Because of this, the 8–8 Guarantee applies only to AQA Combined Science (Trilogy) and does not cover the Synergy specification.
Our guarantee only applies if your exam board matches the one you use on Up Learn. However, 100s of students have still seen success using Up Learn even if their exam board is different! Check out our handy guide here
