Alternatives to Seneca re: A'level study

I signed my DC up to Seneca - paid £500 for the premium service where they have tutors who will look over their work. I've just found out that despite their claim that 'Seneca covers everything you need to know for your A levels' - they have cherry picked topics out of the History AQA A'level and don't cover either of the topics my DC is doing. I'm so pissed off! Does anyone know of any alternatives to Seneca for AQA History A'level?

I don't but do you mind saying which topics it does cover from AQA history A level?

We are with edubridge for A-Level science - very good and more affordable by the sounds of it

Depends if they’re y13 or 12 but for £500 you could get 10-12 hours private tuition which would see them through to the end of y13.

also depends what they want it for. Massolit is incredibly good content but doesn’t always have the quizzing functions. We use it for English at school and it does, and they’re great but not sure about history. Are you making up a shortfall or teaching or for poor revision skills?

plus Seneca also doesn’t necessarily teach what your child will be taught in school even if it is the same unit! With history as in English there’s a huge amount of optionality even when doing the same text. We don’t use it because I didn’t want its content to dictate our curriculum. I believe it’s different with other specs eg science which are more concrete

I think maybe just paying for private tuition locally will be better value for money- £500 would definitely get you 10+ sessions which could make a real difference?
