Paid but didn't access any resources.
Really wanted to use and enjoy this platform but after buying the membership, I didn't get access to the resources and money was still taken. I repeatedly went to the support page but received no help from the chatbot or anything else. If I was given the resources I paid for, I'm sure that this website would have been amazing, but unfortunately, that isn't the case and I'm disappointed.

End of Year 10
End of Year 10, first year into learning GCSE content, I found English Language and Literature quite difficult to grasp. At the end of the year, I got 3s on both subjects. I’m so proud to say that now I managed to jump 3/4 grades by now. I got 6 in English Language and 7 in English Literature. Aaliyah and her team are literally GOATs!

Went from getting grade 6’s in Literature, to getting grade 9’s in my past two mocks.
Also went from grade 5’s in language to grade 8’s. Best revision website out there.

The Lightuphub is amazing
The Lightuphub is amazing, however the Light up hub itself will not give you a 9 in the examinor reports they state that the conceptual students with the original ideas are the ones who get the nines. Please ensure that you are not just copying the analysis they provide as an examinor i can tell if the student does not know what they are talking about. AQA is interested in what YOU think of the play NOT the Lightup hub. Please use it to inspire your ideaa

Went from a grade 4 in lit to a grade 9 in just 2 months 🙏🙏
Inconsistency with group of teachers!!
Inconsistency with group of teachers!!
One teacher has blond hair and has the TikTok, she is phenomenal. She is loud clear and each video can be up to 2 minutes long with key extra info, not just reading it off of the screen. The other one with the darker hair reflects little to no effort. Every vid about 30 to 40 seconds long and ends once the words off of the screen have been read. MORE EFFORT PLEASE! Also that teacher is so quiet that even with max volume on my laptop the whole house needs to be dead quiet if i want to revise.
Predicted grade 8 to grade 9 in a FEW DAYS !
Literally the most amazing website for English revision.
JUST AFTER A FEW DAYS of getting the lightuphub subscription, I went from a predicted grade 8 to a predicted grade 9 for english literature in the span of just ONE WEEK - in my literature mock i got an 8 !!!
In year 10 I was capped at a grade 7 and now in year 11, I am pushing a strong grade 8. I cannot recommend this enough.
Good for content, however many mistakes on website
I'm learning a lot of useful information for my GCSE's however I've noticed a few times where incorrect videos have been put under headings. For example, I study An inspector calls and a Jekyll & Hyde video was linked instead. In language paper 2, for question 2 two videos are linked however one is for language paper 1 and not paper 2 causing confusion.
highly recommend!!!!!!
used it for literally just a month as last minute revision for my gcses last year because i was failing and popped out with a 7 in lit and lang 🥹 beyond thankful
changed my life
made me go from 34 in September to 88 in November absolute goat
INCREASES GRADES RAPIDLY
in my year 10 mocks I got a 3 in English language then in my year 11 autumn mocks I got a grade 6!!
In just 4 MONTHS!!
Please subscribe to the light up hub , your grades will increase and they simplify everything
I can’t thank thelightuphub enough
Best money I’ve ever spent on
Was planning on resetting
Was planning on resetting, and will only 2 months with this website I went from a 2 to a 5. Life saver. 100% recommend.
The customer service doesn't exist
The app is ok, but the reason I give this bad review is because of the customer service. It can't be worse, it's attended by a bot, and the best chance you get a human interaction is by email and after three days. My daughter has an exam and the last two days she couldn't log in, there's an issue and they don't give any information.
It wasn't that useful
It wasn't that useful even the content they uploaded can be accessed through other YouTube channels and doesn't require any kind of subscription. I would request everyone to not buy the membership. I hope in future they add something valuable content and can add some value to someone's education rather than playing with someone's future.

light up hub really helped me through my gcses!! started using this website at the start of may and was at a grade 3 in literature and in just under a month i got up to a grade 6 and was 3 marks under a 7!!! anything is possible.
I was predicted a 4 in english…
I was predicted a 4 in english literature and 4 in language. I had never gotten higher than a 4 in a test until i started using the light up hub, came out with an 8 in literature and 6 in language and started enjoying english so much im doing it for a level.
My daughter took her GCSE’s in summer…
My daughter took her GCSE’s in summer 2025 she was predicted a 6 in her English Literature but with her hard work and the help of The light up hub she got an amazing 9. We can’t recommend light up hub enough and my son will definitely use it when he gets to GCSE’s.
