Study Skills and Exam Preparation
13+? GCSEs? BAC? 11+? A Levels? 12+?
From 13-16 there is a greater need to SUCCEED in the subjects being studied for the exams above!
Many children may feel frustrated –even though they try really hard, they may still struggle to keep up. The workload set by the teachers may seem daunting . It can make life very stressful and they may find school or college a very challenging place to be.
Don’t worry I can help you !!
