Course Description

Designed by experienced Keystone tutors, the A Level 'Study Skills' course is designed to aid students in their revision, note-taking, timetabling and general organisation when studying for exams. These courses will give to students both the skills and confidence to revise and work alone and will be especially useful to students at a Sixth-Form/College level who will be revising, taking examinations, or simply working independently in the near future.

Course Outline

The course is 3.5 hours long, spread over 3 sessions (with a 10 minute break after each session).

Study Skills: This sessions teaches students how to organise their material most effectively, how to develop an effective working schedule, and helps them understand when and under what conditions they work best. This session aims particularly to develop independent learning skills, using a multitude of tasks.

Revision Techniques: This session introduces students to a range of revision techniques and explodes a variety of myths about revision. It emphasises the careful planning of each stage of the revision process in order to get the most from it. These skills will be fundamental to a successful learning career.

Exam Techniques: This sessions talks about how to approach a variety of different exam papers - in this case, the papers will be of whatever subjects the attendees are studying for - how to prepare in the immediate run-up, how to plan in exams, how to keep time, etc. These skills, too, will be essential in the long term.

Feedback for our A Level Tutoring

"My son thoroughly enjoyed the course. He found it extremely useful and in fact we have gone through how he will incorporate it all into his study routine. He also said he learnt some great tips and glad he did it now rather than later. It has been a very positive experience for him. In short a wonderful course, highly recommended to anyone and Michael Roderick did an excellent job."

"On our side, I have been meaning to write too to say how fully content we are with Alexander (Aits) and how very impressed we are with his extraordinary depth and breadth of knowledge and ability when it comes to mathematics. He’s shown to us what it would appear to be endless knowledge, huge flexibility, willingness and readiness to engage with our son on whatever type of mathematical problems that may be depending on the questions and needs he had at any given point in time, and all that with boundless energy, ongoing rigour of transmitting the knowledge, excellent interpersonal skills that make for a great teaching process, and very positive encouragement noises which result in our son wanting to always do better. Truly a gifted and all-rounded tutor."
