Quick Tips

Tutor Tips

Quick, actionable advice from our tutors — straight from the classroom.

★ All Subjects

Use active recall — test yourself rather than re-reading notes. It's 3x more effective.

★ All Subjects

Space your revision over multiple short sessions rather than one long cramming session.

★ GCSE Maths

For GCSE Maths, always check your working — many marks are awarded for method, not just the answer.

★ 11+

For 11+ Verbal Reasoning, learn the 21 question types and practice each one separately before mixing them.

★ A Level

For A-Level essays, always plan your argument before writing — 5 minutes planning saves 15 minutes rewriting.

★ All Subjects

After each past paper, spend as much time reviewing the mark scheme as you did completing the paper.
