Are you a young person aged between 12-16? Do you live in an inner or outer London borough? Are you interested in developing study skills and gaining access to tools to help you reach your academic goals?

If you answered yes to these questions, you should join us for the Ready, Set, Go: Acing your Exams workshop on Saturday 16th February from 10:00am - 4:00pm at Bell House.

As we have a high demand for our workshops and courses, we release tickets in phases. If there is a waitlist available for this workshop, please add the parent name and email address to the waitlist.

Exams are one of the greatest challenges that young people face. But just like any other challenge, you can approach and succeed at exams by simply equipping yourself with the right tools, strategies and techniques. It’s only when you set yourself up with a winning mindset and the right tools, that you can get going and achieve the results you’ve been looking for!

This full-day workshop aims to help young people excel at exams by improving study skills, time management, and making use of growth mindset techniques. It is tailored to young people that want to get excellent grades in their examinations but may be concerned about how to manage the stress and demands of examinations, coursework and extracurricular activities.

During the workshop, your child will learn how to manage their time effectively, how to create a study plan and how to prioritise between academic deadlines, extracurricular activities and other demands.

Your child will also be shown various techniques that they can use to prepare for tests and examinations and how to turn their study and revision time into a time of enjoyable and rewarding in-depth learning and development. They will also learn how to improve their chances of getting top grades in exams.

By the end of the day, your child will have a good understanding of growth mindset and resilience and how to apply this to their academic life. They will be equipped with tools that they can immediately use to start their revision and they will have an actionable study plan.

The young people attending this workshop will:

• Gain an in-depth understanding of growth mindset and how your child can use this to improve their abilities

• Understand how to manage their time effectively

• Understand their learning style and how to use this to their advantage

• Get an understanding of how to cope with stress and build resilience as a learner

• Gain practical tools and techniques that they can use to learn quickly and retain more information when learning

• Understand why so many smart students fail to gain the grades that they deserve

• Develop a better exam technique to get top grades in any exam

Feedback from attendees:

'I don’t feel scared about exams anymore. I know that my exams are not a test of my intelligence but a test of my ability to prepare and manage pressure.' – Eni, 14
