I will skip the teacher jargon surrounding metacognition, pedagogy etc. With 10+ years experience, it's very much embedded in my teaching. As a parent/carer all you need to know is that my tutoring style is unique in that it focuses on how to approach the exam, that pivotal moment at the end of a GCSE. I teach my students how to take control in an exam with confidence and the results can be transformative. I help my students by:

- Training them in how to “think” like an examiner.
- Showing them how to pull apart and breakdown exam questions, therefore understanding everything they need to do to get the marks.
- Giving clear structures to follow, specifically for 6 and 9 mark questions so they will always know what to write and how to set out their work.
- Teaching them a specific writing style which will give them confidence in their answers and will show an examiner that they know what they are talking about.
- Sharing tips and tricks on how to maximise time management in exams.
- Showing them how to gain quick points on easy mark skills questions - and the trick questions to look out for!
- Familiarising them with mark schemes, so in an exam they will feel confident in exactly what is needed to impress the examiner.
- Sharing easy revision exercises for learning and memorising information.
