Sanderson Education Hub have created a series of workshops for Newcastle Libraries, looking at a range of revision techniques to help feel confident and prepared for your GCSE exams

Develop your revision skills with this relaxed session from Sanderson Education Hub. Struggling to balance revision with the rest of life, or feeling stressed because you don’t even know where to start?In this interactive workshop, you’ll discover how to study smarter, not longer, and learn proven strategies to focus on what really matters. We’ll cover how to make the most of resources (from adults such as library staff to teachers), how to map out the time you have available, and how to use online tools (including AI) wisely.The aim for this session is that you leave feeling empowered and that some of the anxiety, dread, confusion or even total block around revision starts to lift. You’ll leave with practical tips, a clear plan, and more confidence in how to tackle your GCSEsWhen you register, you'll be encouraged to add any your questions/ concerns you may have and in the session the tutor will share what helped her, what’s worked for other young people (because we aren’t all the same), and what research shows about the best ways to learn and revise. This workshop is the first in a series we’re running in collaboration with Newcastle City Library. It works brilliantly as a stand-alone session, but it also opens the door to the other workshops coming up, each designed to build your confidence and skills in different areas of GCSE success.Suitable for young people, aged 14-16, studying for their GCSE exams at school or home.
