Parent Testimonials & Success Stories
“Our son was struggling in traditional school in Cyprus – his Maths, Psychology, and Business results were nowhere near his potential or university requirements and the quality of teachers poor due to lack of subject expertise. We were desperate when we found Sophia High School for Year 13 resits. The difference was immediate: small class sizes meant teachers could focus on his specific weaknesses, the personalised support addressed exactly what he needed, and having access to all recorded lessons meant he could review difficult concepts until he mastered them. He went from barely passing to achieving the grades needed for his first-choice university. The individual attention and flexible learning approach completely transformed his academic performance.
Parent, Cyprus (A Level Student)
“When the war started in Ukraine, I thought my education would be completely disrupted. Sophia High School became my lifeline. I’ve been studying with them since Year 9, and just completed my IGCSE Year 11 exams through remote invigilation. The technology worked perfectly – I felt completely supported throughout the entire process. Now I’m excited to continue with A-Level Computer Science, Physics, and Maths. My teachers know me so well and have helped me stay focused on my university goals despite everything happening around us. This programme gave me stability when everything else was uncertain.”
