Stressing about mock exams next month?

Hi there!

As we finish off Week 3 of the New School Year, I've been getting lots of emails from Year 10s and Year 11s who are stressed about their October Mock Exams!

I've also heard from many of you who are doing your November Resit Exams - asking: what's the best way to prepare for Language Paper 1 & Paper 2? How can I stay on top of revision without getting overwhelmed? The answer is EASY:

Start small, stay consistent and practice a little over a long time. That's how to get a Grade 7, 8 and 9! 😊

GCSE English isn't like Maths or Science. You can't leave it all to the last minute. It's a skill I like to think of as closer to sports.. you improve over time. Small, short bursts of practice and revision goes a long way!

In sports - if you do too much, too quickly - you get injured. In English - if you do too much, too early - you risk burnout and overwhelm. Do too little, at the last minute - you do badly as your writing and reading speed is slow, your analysis is weak, your paragraphs are poor.

This is why my GCSE English Masterclasses are just an hour - at 5pm - 6pm every Sunday. Small but consistent practice, over a long period of time - is what gets those amazing GCSE Grades:

 

So don't forget - I have resumed weekly Sunday English GCSE Masterclasses! 🥳

These classes will be useful for you if:

1️⃣ You're in Year 11 and getting ready for your October mock exams
