Up Learn A Level Economics

Behind every course is a team of world-class teachers and tutors who are typically paid £100+ per hour for 1:1 tuition. They've spent thousands of hours creating and perfecting the content for Up Learn courses until it achieves A* or 8+ results at A level and GCSE. They're supported by teams of experts, illustrators, animators, video producers, audio engineers and production assistants who help put everything together. On average, 16 hours of effort goes into the production of each minute of Up Learn content – there is no compromise on quality, no matter how small. Hundreds of thousands of pounds go into developing and maintaining the content and technology in every Up Learn course. However, we recognise these prices are inaccessible to some students and families. That's why we offer an unlimited number of scholarships to students who are on or are eligible for free school meals, cross-subsidised by those who pay.

People naturally have different preferences for how they learn. Some may prefer visual explanations, while others find spoken or written information more engaging. However, research suggests that matching teaching to a person’s preferred “learning style” does not necessarily improve learning outcomes.A review of experimental evidence by Pashler, McDaniel, Rohrer and Bjork (2009) found little evidence that teaching students according to a specific learning style is effective. Instead, the researchers found that the most important factor is matching the method of instruction to the nature of the subject being taugh. For example, visual explanations may be particularly useful for geometry, while verbal or auditory approaches may be better suited to poetry.Our chosen method of instruction is video, which combines visual explanations, spoken teaching, worked examples and on-screen information. This allows us to use different approaches where they are most appropriate for the subject, while also accommodating a range of learning preferences.So, whether or not you believe in learning styles, you are not at a disadvantage. Our focus is on using the most effective teaching method for the topic being learned.(Source: Pashler, H., McDaniel, M., Rohrer, D. and Bjork, R. (2009) “Learning styles: Concepts and evidence”, Psychological Science in the Public Interest, 9(3), pp. 105–119.)

Individuals can purchase Up Learn directly, without needing to be enrolled through a school. After signing up for a free trial, you can visit your Billing page to choose a plan (current pricing is on the Up Learn pricing page). There are two payment options: Access Until Exams, a one-time upfront payment giving full access through your final exams (available until 31 July) and generally the best value, or Monthly, a flexible pay-as-you-go subscription you can cancel anytime. Both plans cover full course access for one subject, including Year 12 and 13 for A levels or Foundation and Higher tiers for GCSE (GCSE is only available on the Up Core plan). You'll also choose between two support levels, Up Core or Up Master, both of which include course access, practice papers, tutoring, and the A*/A money-back guarantee, with Up Master adding marked practice papers and priority tutoring. You can buy multiple courses, and the Access Until Exams plan gives a £100 discount on each additional course (this discount doesn't apply to Monthly subscriptions). You can also switch from Monthly to Access Until Exams via your Billing page, or upgrade from Up Core to Up Master by contacting the team via live chat.

Schools can also purchase Up Learn at special rates through the Up Core plan, which includes dashboards for teachers to set assignments, track student progress, and provide built-in tutoring support. Schools interested in this option can get in touch to discuss pricing.
