Learning Styles - Revision tips.

Easter onwards is the traditionally busy time for revision. However, if you have any learning issues such as dyslexia or dyspraxia then you may find that this will not give you enough time to revise so my top tip is to start early!

Revision will be most successful if you use a method which appeals to your own learning style. So if you are a very visual learner, then revising from mind maps will be a good way. There are free mind mapping software available on the web so you can also use technology if this is what you prefer.

If you are more of an auditory learner then recording your work on your smartphone and playing it back will be a good method of revising.

There are many free resources on the web which will help you to work out your own learning style - this is worth doing.

It's getting close to that dreaded and stressful time of year for Year 11 students. GCSE's and revision!
You could consider taking a revision course, especially if you know you won't take the time to revise on your own. Here at Silver Peach Tutors we are gearing up for a busy time with our revision courses in English Language. They are being held over two mornings, so not too exhausting! Students attending these will be able to work on their own weaknesses and clear up any confusion they have about the questions on the exam paper. We can also help students who have dyslexia who may be finding this time of year particularly challenging as there is a lot to take in.

I will be following this up with more exam and revision tips over the next few weeks. For more information see www.silver-peach-tutors.co.uk.
