When parents start thinking about booking tutoring sessions, one of the major decisions they have to make is the frequency of lessons. This can make a huge impact on the student and their preparation for exams. Booking too few sessions can result in your child not getting enough support. Booking too many sessions can dilute lessons and make learning process less interesting. In this episode we will go through the factors that you can consider while making the decision about the frequency of tutoring sessions and why some of them could be more levant in your case.Resources: • Online tutoring: https://www.studysquare.co.uk • Exam Revision Guide: https://www.studysquare.co.uk/pdf • Podcast Privacy policy: https://www.spreaker.com/privacy

Some parents think that the information provided at school and during tutoring sessions is not enough and they look for additional resources to improve the learning process. Nowadays you find them in so many places: at book shops, libraries, online websites, which makes it even more difficult to make a decision on the most suitable option. Each of them have some benefits to offer and can suit a particular group of students better than others. In this episode we will go through the differences between the resources that students could use to enhance their preparation for exams.Resources: • Online tutoring: https://www.studysquare.co.uk • Exam Revision Guide: https://www.studysquare.co.uk/pdf • Podcast Privacy policy: https://www.spreaker.com/privacy

I feel that it is such a common practice not to have an exam revision strategy that apparently, to be organised is becoming exceptional. You will occasionally hear about families trying to do their best to fill in the gaps in their child’s knowledge just a few weeks or months before the exams; teachers organising last-minute revision sessions and students becoming increasingly stressed about the amount of material that needs to be covered. I believe that quite a few stressors arriving from the exams can be avoided by having a rigid plan. In this episode we will go through the possible components of an exam revision strategy so that you would be able to quickly pick the ones that work for you.Resources: • Online tutoring: https://www.studysquare.co.uk • Exam Revision Guide: https://www.studysquare.co.uk/pdf • Podcast Privacy policy: https://www.spreaker.com/privacy

You may think that when you hire a tutor, they just deliver the lessons and that’s the most value you can get out of the service. However, I would argue that there is so much more that your child might find useful while preparing for their exams. These techniques might not be relevant to all subjects but from my experience they are commonly applicable for Maths and Science tutoring. In this episode we will explore the ways you can prepare for a lesson, use homework, lessons reports and additional resources to improve the learning experience of your child.Resources: • Online tutoring: https://www.studysquare.co.uk • Exam Revision Guide: https://www.studysquare.co.uk/pdf • Podcast Privacy policy: https://www.spreaker.com/privacy

Let’s be honest, many students start exam revision a few months or just a few weeks before the exams. And to some extent they are encouraged to do so by their peers and the way the learning process is set up. Now if there was an option for your child to start revision early, would it even be worth? It might feel counterintuitive to go against the norm and start exam revision a year or two in advance. I don’t think so. I have seen way too many times families desperately trying to fill in the gaps in a child’s knowledge just weeks before exams, which is why I am a huge advocate of starting exam revision early. In this episode we will go through the advantages of a long term revision and we will also mention examples of when it might be unnecessary.Resources: • Online tutoring: https://www.studysquare.co.uk • Exam Revision Guide: https://www.studysquare.co.uk/pdf • Podcast Privacy policy: https://www.spreaker.com/privacy

There’s a plethora of options available to supplement your child’s learning. Two of them are one-to-one tutoring and group lessons. Although both might be providing quite similar content, they couldn’t be more different when you look deeper into the details. In this episode we will go through the advantages that both of these learning methods have to offer and will help you pick an option the most suitable to your needs.Resources: • Online tutoring: https://www.studysquare.co.uk • Exam Revision Guide: https://www.studysquare.co.uk/pdf • Podcast Privacy policy: https://www.spreaker.com/privacy

When you decide to proceed with tutoring, where do you actually find a tutor? Some families are lucky to know a relevant tutor already as they might have hired them before for a different child. However, this is not the case in many situations when we have to go through a few steps to find a great tutor. In this episode we will consider several ways you could find a private tutor and explore the reasons why one of them could be the best match for you personally.Resources: • Online tutoring: https://www.studysquare.co.uk • Exam Revision Guide: https://www.studysquare.co.uk/pdf • Podcast Privacy policy: https://www.spreaker.com/privacy
