"As someone who has always been passionate about science, I wanted to go beyond what was taught in school and truly challenge myself to be sufficiently prepared for my upcoming IAL exams. I sought an alternative to my school as I felt they lacked in providing the support and challenge I required. One of my friends suggested I enroll online at ExFerva. And it was one of the best decisions I've made, as each class with my tutor challenged the way I thought and processed information, learning to apply knowledge in real world and exam contexts. What made the difference was the teaching approach. The tutor didn’t just lecture; he guided, questioned, and encouraged me to think deeply. I appreciated how complex topics were broken down with such clarity, and how I was constantly motivated to connect ideas across subjects. The discussions and exam focused strategies helped me gain confidence not only in exams but also in how I approached scientific problems overall. After my first semester at ExFerva, I was deeply honored and overjoyed to be awarded with the Females in Science Scholarship obtaining a 50 % reduction in my tuition fees. It made me feel seen and supported as a young woman pursuing science. With that encouragement and the consistent guidance I received from my tutor, I achieved results I once thought were out of reach. After my IAL studies, I received an update from ExFerva describing the launch of their specialist course. I immediately enrolled in it and it was quite interesting as it gave me a chance to explore the molecular and immunological principles behind real world scientific breakthroughs. That course deepened my appreciation for how science shapes our world and strengthened my desire to pursue research in the future. ExFerva didn’t just teach me science; it taught me perseverance, curiosity, and confidence. It truly shaped the foundation for the scientist I hope to become.”

"Before joining ExFerva, I was managing to score B's and A's but I wanted a place that would teach me how to polish my mistakes and challenge me, not just revise past papers. My tutor at ExFerva pushed me to think analytically; to connect Biology, Chemistry, and Physics concepts rather than memorize them separately. With his background in Medicine and Health Sciences, our zoom discussions were intellectually stimulating, and the assignments always encouraged deeper levels of analytical thinking. With his guidance and constant encouragement, I achieved straight A*s and learned how to approach problems like a scientist, not just a student. He also supported me when I showed interest in applying to Monash University for my Bachelors. With his mentorship, I secured a place at Monash for the upcoming semester. I am truly grateful to be following in my teacher's footsteps. ExFerva truly prepares you for University level learning!

"I stumbled upon ExFerva around the end of 2021 and decided to give it a try to prepare for my upcoming IGCSE examinations. I was skeptical at first since everything was online which included semester payments and our daily classes but that doubt was instantly gone after the first few classes I had with the teacher. He structured every class with clarity and always asked me 'Any Questions?' before proceeding on with the next topic. He always took time to connect and provide real life examples for each concept. I was surprised that he went all the way to do his own research by providing examples that applied to my home country making it easier for me to understand crucial concepts rather than depending on rote memorization. By the time I received my results, my parents were proud of my progress. This prompted me to continue with ExFerva for my IALs. I knew it was going to be a little harder but my tutor made the process of learning much fun and easier, rooted in the quest for obtaining scientific knowledge. As my teacher himself was a current University student at the time I was doing my IALs, he shared what he learnt in his lectures and the recent research that was being undertaken at Monash. He was indirectly preparing me for what lay ahead at University. It was heartfelt to know he was genuinely invested in my academic progress. Thanks to ExFerva's Pay In Full Discount, I saved 10 % from my tuition fees and thanks to my teacher, I achieved results I never expected and for the first time I’m excited about what I can achieve next."

Exam Update: Completed IAL Chemistry obtaining an overall grade of A in October 2023 Session.

"I used to struggle with IAL Chemistry and often felt lost in class. When I enrolled at ExFerva, the tutor broke down complex topics into simple, understandable steps. The patience and support he provided turned frustration into understanding, and I finally started seeing real progress in my results. With his guidance through every calculation related question, I slowly grasped the underlying concepts making it easier to apply them in my mock exams. Needless to say, I wouldn't have been able to score an A in the IALs if I stuck solely with my school chemistry classes. ExFerva has taught me that it is okay to stop and ask for help when you need it.
