| Intensive Revision Sessions | ||
|
L arge numbers of young people are not achieving the grades that they are capable of achieving in Key Subjects at GCSE and A level. Our ultimate aim is to put an end to low grades. We will ensure that all aspects of the examination boards’ specifications (syllabi) are covered and train students on Examination Techniques. Following the success of last academic year, in which all our students passed with grades A* to C, another set of Intensive Revision Classes for GCSE, AS, A2 and KS3 SAT in Mathematics, Double/Single Award Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English (Language & Literature) takes place from September to June. We plan to include other popular subjects in the very near future. |
|
Classes are held at two locations: 1. City University, Northampton Square, London EC1. This location is about 7 to 10 minutes walk from either the Angel & Islington station or Farringdon station 2. Greenwich University, London SE10. The Site of the Old Royal Naval
College - see map and directions on the home page. |
||
GCSE Science - Double, Single & Triple Award |
||
 There
are about 10 students in each class. Each Science session covers Biology,
Chemistry and Physics, allocating roughly the same amount of time to
each of the three. As the vast majority of students in the country are
taking the Double Award Science paper, lessons target the Double Award
Higher Tier. However, students sitting Separate Science (Triple Award)
GCSE examinations are offered additional time in order to cover the
extra material they require (an extra charge is made for this). Students
sitting the single award and Foundation Tier also benefit. Practical
demonstrations of scientific experiments are simulated with computer
software. The software in use has interactive activities and students
find it very stimulating as it aids the learning process. |
||
Mathematics |
||
| In Maths lessons, the teacher spends time on areas in which students often encounter problems; students are then set work to do and time is spent on helping individuals to grasp concepts that he or she finds challenging. The Higher Tier students sit separately from the Intermediate Tier students and are given separate work to do. Foundation Tier examination candidates are again catered for separately. | ||
| English Language & Literature | ||
| The English Language classes run along the same principle as Maths classes, with emphasis on areas of weakness for individual students. | ||

We
offer both AS and A2 classes |
||
June
Programme |
||
Our
AS and A2 classes are aimed at sixth form students who want to achieve
good grades in the subjects they are studying in school/college. Concepts
are explained with greater clarity and examination methods and techniques
are practised frequently. A session for each subject lasts for 2 hours.
Subjects covered at the moment are: Mathematics, English Language, English
Literature, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. For Physics, Chemistry,
Biology and Mathematics, most of our AS/A2 students are sitting the
Edexcel and OCR examinations, so lessons are focussed on these two.
We do, however, use past examination papers for all the three main examination
boards - AQA, Edexcel and OCR. Most of our English AS/A2 students study
AQA and Edexcel. |
||
January
AS Classes Programme |
||
| This
is to help year 12/Lower sixth students who are sitting AS modules for
the first time and the upper sixth/Y13 students who are resiting AS
modules in January. It runs from October to January - including sessions
during the Christmas holiday. |
||
SAT
–Key stage 3 (Students in Y9 and Y8) |
||
The
SAT examination is the first public examination that students sit in
secondary school. It helps to prepare young people for GCSE. Revision
classes are held to help students in Y9 and some in Y8. It is directed
mainly at Y9 students, as they are preparing to sit their KS3 SAT exam
in the first week of May, early in the summer term. Some parents are
happy to send their son or daughter in Y8 along to our SAT revision
classes, even though it is directed primarily at Y9 students. This is
because it not only helps to prepare them early; it also helps to improve
their confidence in class, in these vital subjects. By the time the
students sit their Y9 SAT, they are familiar with how questions are
asked in the KS3 SAT examinations and are better equipped to answer
questions in the way the examiners expect. |
||
Security
and peace of mind |
||
All
our teachers are teaching, or have taught
in a British secondary school very recently. They are familiar with
the requirements of the National Curriculum for: Mathematics, Physics,
Chemistry, Biology, English Language and English Literature. More importantly,
they have years of experience in assessing and marking examination papers.
All our teachers possess the Enhanced Disclosure from the CRB (Criminal Records Bureau). |
