All too often in our experience, classroom lessons (even revision sessions) fail to:
1) ensure all of the course material has been covered in sufficient detail
2) practise enough past papers to give students adequate skills for the examination
At Norwich Tutoring, for GCSE and A-Level we focus particularly on exam technique and practice, a crucial area so often overlooked in the classroom. Even students that have covered course material and exam practice well in the classroom have found that one-to-one tuition has improved their subject knowledge, exam skills and confidence. Where exams are not imminent and there is more time available, we assess the student’s strengths and weaknesses and first ensure that he or she possesses the basic skills needed for a solid foundation in the subject. This gives the student the confidence to move swiftly to more advanced topics and rapidly improve academic achievement.
