News and updates

Celebrating 5 years of Sulis Learning courses

In March 2021 we offered our first Classics GCSE courses and over the last five years we have extended our choice both of courses and modules.

We will shortly be adding a German GCSE course, our second Modern Language GCCE. The course is delivered by Ruth Ward, a highly experienced teacher who has been subject lead in her school.

To mark our 5th anniversary, Dr Beer is recording two talks which will be available exclusively to our students. To access the talks, log in, go to ‘My account’ and select the ‘News and Updates’ tab. The first talk, ‘Just how catastrophic for the republic was Cicero’s consulship?’ is now available. The second talk will be added this summer. We hope you enjoy these fascinating additions.*

Thank you to everyone who has followed one of our courses over the last 5 years.

If you would like to be notified of new courses or modules in the future, you may wish to subscribe to our newsletter below.

German GCSE (Edexcel) - coming soon

We are delighted to announce that we will soon be offering a German GCSE (Edexcel) course. German is one of the most widely spoken languages in Europe, and the German economy is the largest in Europe. Learning German can therefore help widen employment opportunities as well as provide an enriched cultural experience when travelling and/or working in Germany.

Our GCSE course has been created and will be presented by Ruth Ward, a highly experienced, PGCE qualified teacher. The comprehensive course material will build the learner’s skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening and will prepare them to succeed in the exams. The sessions will be delivered via pre-recorded lessons in which students will benefit from Ruth’s in-depth knowledge of the syllabus. The material will be suitable for both beginners and those with some previous knowledge of German.

The course will follow the Pearson Edexcel specification that can be viewed here. The broad themes covered in the course are:

My personal world
Lifestyle and wellbeing
My neighbourhood
Media and technology
Studying and my future
Travel and tourism

These engaging themes will encourage the building of a wide and useful vocabulary and the development of language skills.

It is also worth noting that there is no requirement to take the exams on completion of the course. Many students follow our courses as they enjoy the structured approach, quality of the teaching and opportunity to build confidence and ability at their own pace.

Please note: We will put a message on the home page when the course is available. We will also be notifying subscribers to our ‘Course updates’. If you would like to be emailed when the course is available, please scroll down to the ‘To receive course updates’ box.
