Overview

Are you ready to sit GCSEs next summer?

Do you want to get outstanding grades in your GCSEs?

Never really been shown how to revise properly, though?

Do you struggle with organising your time?

Wish you could tell what’s important and not to revise?

Don’t know what an assessment objective is?

 

Well, we’ve got something for you. Avi’s How to GCSE course is designed to accompany you through year 11 from November to your exam sittings in May and June. You will gain insight and valuable, usable tools for revision, exam preparation and exam sittings. While we will work together on your preparation for all GCSE exams, our we will provide a specific focus to Biology, Chemistry, Physics and English, Language and Literature (all for GCSE and iGCSE, across all boards and specifications). Together with Avi, you will devise, implement, and utilise a personalised study schedule that will enable you to manage your workload across all your subjects, right up to the exams.

 

Finally, a way to find out how to actually learn, study, revise, prepare for, and sit a GCSE, in real time to track your own progress and ensure your success!

Course Format:

Running online via Zoom, this course comprises twenty-eight online seminars of 75 minutes in length, and seven 1:1 tutorials of 20-30 minutes. Online seminars are held on Mondays on regular weeks at 19:20-20:30 or at 18:20-19:30, and during school holidays in the mornings at 10:20-11:30. Seminars run weekly (including in school holidays) from November to May (with two breaks, as per the schedule below).

 

In late October Avi will meet online with you 1:1 to help you identify and outline your strengths, weaknesses, and objectives across your GCSE subjects. From there, our weekly sessions will take you on a journey through the component parts of the GCSE specifications to gain an understanding of how to build strategies to approach the exams most eeectively. Once you have studied the exam requirements and various eeective response structures for the three science and two English subjects, you will review course content before a final phase focus on the exams themselves.

 

Throughout this time, you will continue to meet with Avi every few weeks to review your progress and flag focus points and achievements to help you sail through to the exams with confidence and readiness.
