We run these one-and-done single sessions at the most vital points in a student's GCSE year. Each session helps students to brush up their subject knowledge and, more importantly, their exam technique, so they can enter their exams with confidence. It's an opportunity to ask any last minute questions about the upcoming exams, share tips, and really dig down to the heart of how the exam questions are structured.
How do they work?
One of our experienced tutors guides students through an intensive 2 hour online group session on a particular book, poem or English Language topic. Students can develop their exam abilities before following up afterwards with the help of our interactive online learning portal. In some cases we even run 'Boosters' the evening before the final exam, so all the information will be fresh for the next day!
Our experienced GCSE English tutors equip students with the knowledge they'll need to cover the relevant part of the exam; learning all the quotations, key passages and vocabulary that they'll need. Students in the group can interact and share hints and tips with each other.
We take that knowledge and apply it to essay questions just as they would in the exam – paragraph structure, essay technique and the right language to use – the glue that holds a fantastic essay together.
When Do Booster Sessions Run?
We run Booster Sessions at four key times during the year:
Autumn Half Term
We run Booster Sessions here to boost the student's knowledge and skills just before the 'Mocks' which provide teachers with the Predicted Grade which affects 6th Form entry and further studying.
Spring Half Term
We run Booster Sessions here to increase the student's knowledge and skills in the run up to the 2nd set of 'Mocks', boosting their confidence for the final few months of study before the exams.
Easter Holiday
We run Booster Sessions here to boost the student's revision skills in the crucial run up to the final GCSE English exams. We try to schedule Booster Sessions as close as possible to the Exam, so all the knowledge stays fresh!
Summer Half Term
We run Booster Sessions here to boost the student's revision skills in the crucial run up to the final GCSE English exams. We try to schedule Booster Sessions as close as possible to the Exam, so all the knowledge stays fresh!
Small Classes
Typical classrooms are getting busier and busier these days. Each of our Booster Sessions are small enough that nobody gets swallowed by the bigger personalities, and you get the attention you need over the course of the day.
Every student is motivated to be there, and we find that they are keen to share their experiences and ideas with the rest of the group.
Review Materials
The topics and contents of each lesson will be available for reference afterwards as downloadable content, where students can re-examine the specific exam requirements covered during the session. Accompanying each Booster Session is a host of follow-up activities, hosted on our Moodle board, in which students can review the key parts of the day, including the important language and quotations they'll need to remember in the exam.
Our next series of Booster Sessions runs from 16th-23rd February, covering seven of the most popular subject area. You can find out more here.
