Schools and students are loving Audiopi
Audiopi has been very useful and I am singing your praises. Our students achieved 93% grades 4-9 at literature - and the podcasts really helped our pupils to go into the exams feeling confident about the texts.Also, the podcasts are very engaging and particularly useful for helping pupils who struggle with reading chunks of text, such as those with dyslexia

Praise for Audiopi's Audio Tutorials from Teachers and Students
People say the nicest things about Audiopi
Kerry Smith, Head of English at St Mary’s Hull:"I would recommend Audiopi to other schools and am intending to showcase it at a meeting for English leaders next week. The reason I would be happy to recommend your product is as I feel it goes further than many resources that are on the market. For example, many resources that we have used in the past explain what the poems are about but don’t include examples of language analysis. The podcasts that I have listened to so far very much focus on exploring how language is used for effect and are explicitly analytical."
Antonia Parris English Teacher at St Aidans in Harrogate: "The podcasts are very useful for bringing texts they studied 18 months ago back into focus, especially given the nature of the new specification only being assessed by terminal exams!”
Andrew Wilkin, Student “it is very helpful and has shown me more POV's on the poems. 10/10 Would recommend”
Ross Morrison McGill, Teacher Toolkit “Audiopi gets the thumbs up from me! ...It will be a useful asset to teachers and students”
Glyn Redworth, Oxford University "What I like about Audiopi is that it is student-facing: it doesn't just want to help them master the syllabus, it wants to edge them that little bit further."
Theo, The Abbey School “I came top of the class all thanks to Audiopi”

Love and Relationships Course Overview

The Love and Relationships poetry cluster will be examined in paper 2. Paper 2 is worth 60% of your GCSE. The Love and Relationships poetry cluster is one of three elements you are required to study.
