Tips for Dealing with Exam Season Anxiety
Keystone's Head of Elective and Homeschooling, Poppy Dundas, was joined by our guest expert Clare de Lotbiniere, a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist and Professional Tutors Jon Gale and Lara Isaac. Lara is also a trained nutritionist and together they discuss how best to get your child prepared for the upcoming exams, including dealing with exam anxiety and calming nerves, keeping motivation strong, the best foods to eat and general revision tips and tricks.
We can provide Politics tuition tailored to specific exams, from IB Global Politics, to A Level Politics, and the Oxford Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA). We help to improve exam performance by making use of past Politics papers, reinforcing core learning, developing revision techniques, and helping students to push the boundaries of their knowledge of Politics to differentiate themselves from fellow students.
IB Global Politics is a challenging qualification, covering a range of compulsory and optional components from Human Rights, to Development, to Peace and Conflict. Our Politics tutors will help your child to gain a deeper understanding of the subject, develop their critical thinking skills, solve problems, and communicate their knowledge successfully in an exam context.
A Level Politics students have to master a wide range of complex topics to succeed. Our Politics tutors are able to focus in on those areas where your child needs additional support, help them demonstrate their knowledge effectively under time pressure, and ultimately prepare them to perform strongly in these key exams.
Variants of the TSA are used in the application process for Oxford, Cambridge and UCL universities, and as such is a rigorous and competitive examination. Our TSA tutors can help your child maximise their performance in this assessment, building on their knowledge and helping them to demonstrate the depth of their understanding successfully, as they compete for places to read Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) (amongst other degrees) at Oxford University, Land Economy to the University of Cambridge or Social and Political Studies related degrees at UCL.
