Home Education
Undertaking exams from home can be a daunting experience. Making sure that your child is on target to achieve his or her life goals is an overwhelming responsibility, and without the support of a school many parents feel confused as to how they can measure their child’s progress. Mark My Papers enables home-educated pupils to access teaching professionals who mark officially for the leading public exam boards, particularly Cambridge (CAIE) and Edexcel at iGCSE level; these being the most popular exam boards for home-educators. Marking is subjective and understanding how to interpret the AOs (Assessment Objectives) is a finely tuned skill.
- We can mark regularly, occasionally or as a preparation for exams.
- Sometimes our home-educating students need guidance as to which specification is still current – we are happy to support such needs and play a role in your home-education journey.
- Making sure that home-education can still offer up wide opportunities through passing public exams is a major concern for some families and we can bring reassurance.
- MMP feedback is very detailed and we suggest you allow plenty of time for your child to work on tips for improvement.
- Our founder is herself a home-educating parent who created MMP to help guide her own two younger sons to success in their GCSES and A levels. Both boys won places at Cambridge University for History and Modern Languages (Christ’s College) and Natural Sciences (Pembroke College) with only MMP for support.
All at MMP passionately believe in helping home schooled children enjoy their exam preparation, ensuring they are fully confident and on track to succeed.

Testimonials from home educating parents…
Name Supplied 2022I don’t think I’d have had the courage to keep going with HE through GCSEs without MMP, and I’m so glad we did, as my daughter is far healthier, happier and more confident than I think she would have been, if she had been forced to integrate into a school system that didn’t meet her needs. She has had only grade 9s for her first 6 GCSEs, which she could not have achieved without MMP’s examiners demystifying exam technique for us, and which I don’t believe she could have achieved if she’d attended schools. I’m so glad she will have exam grades that reflect her true potential.
Name supplied 2022We *love* Mark My Papers. We have used you for lots of different subjects now and the standard of marking is always amazing and so very helpful.
Name supplied 2022Thought you might like to know that our results are in from November exams and it was 9’s all round (Maths and Chemistry for M (15), and Business for R (14). Business was R’s first exam and the marking we got from MMP was invaluable in helping her prepare. She got 130 marks which would have been a comfortable 9 even on 2019 boundaries - this year it was 84 for the 9! So thank you.
Name supplied 2022I just wanted to let you know that last week I received an offer to study English from Pembroke College in Cambridge. This would definitely not have been possible without the help Mark My Papers gave me, so I just wanted to thank you again!
Name supplied 2022I would like to take this opportunity to give a very big thank you to everyone who helped my son achieve the grades he had hoped for. He would not have reached his goal without your huge support and hard work.
Thank you so much again.
Name supplied 2022We were very happy with the last set of feedback we received for paper 1 and it has helped us no end. It is an outstanding service that you offer and a life-line for home-edders like us.

She took five IGCSE's and got four A's and a single A*! She is 13 so we are well chuffed. In fact we are delighted, couldn't be happier. Just over the moon!
So thanks for your part in helping her achieve that!”
