We’ve created a three-part journey, with each part lasting five weeks, designed especially for KS4 and KS5 students who want to strengthen their foundation for learning. These are online sessions for 14-18 year old students who are working towards GCSEs, A Levels, or other qualifications. They are delivered over 5 weeks each term. Over the course of the sessions, we’ll help students:
Learn effective study techniques that make a difference
Strengthen executive functioning, including organisation, planning and focus
Develop emotional regulation skills to support learning
This is done by linking each new skill to the learning and workload of each individual student. So, for example, they practice study skills with their own topics, revision skills with their own exam questions and emotional regulation with their real life pressures.
Autumn Term: A Foundation for Learning (5 weeks)
This term will serve as an introduction to the Study & Thrive program, focusing on foundational study skills. Students will be equipped with practical tools to organize their work, manage their time, and approach their studies effectively.
Spring Term: Mastering Executive Functioning (5 weeks)
Building on the autumn foundation, this term will delve deeper into executive functioning skills. The focus will be on the cognitive processes that are essential for planning, problem-solving, and self-control.
Summer Term: Emotional Regulation for Exam Success (5 weeks)
This final term will be the culmination of the program, directly addressing the pressure of exams. The focus will be on emotional regulation to help students remain calm, focused, and resilient during this high-stakes period.
This maths group will include up to three students who are at a similar stage in their maths journey. The maths group will assist in their progression and here is why:
The group will have a maximum of three students, allowing for intimate working, as well as learning and building from each other
The students will benefit from working collaboratively, talking and learning together, which is proven to accelerate learning and offer more opportunities for independent revelations.
Students will be able to explain their reasoning to one another, deepening their understanding.
Each student is at a similar level, and so I can continue to offer appropriate learning and support.
This group is aimed at students aged 12-14 and is £162 for the 6-week block.
