ACADEMIC COACHING
“I was able to dramatically improve my mock exam grades for the exams which really counted, through simple steps which Fiona clearly laid out for me.”
Academic coaching is preparing students to sit exams by teaching revision skills and exam techniques.
This is an initial programme of three bespoke sessions, with support materials to learn about the process of revision and how best to prepare for upcoming exams.
This is a stand alone programme, although some students do add on further sessions and will return for coaching sessions throughout their GCSEs or A levels.
Most academic coaching students, whom we see, are preparing for exams, from Year 10 exams through to GCSE, Year 12 and A level exams, including mock exams.
Students choose academic coaching for a variety of reasons:
They want to learn how to revise effectively
They want to be able to prepare for exams
They are feeling overwhelmed or stressed with upcoming exams and want to be able to navigate their way through
They want to be able to structure their revision and organise their time better
They want to learn exam techniques that they can take with them into exams
Revision and study techniques that will work for you
Creating a revision timetable that is both workable and focused
Organisation skills including time management
Different subject requirements
Coping strategies
