GCSEs
Reluctantly analysing Keats’ sonnets while wondering whether you will actually use Pythagoras’ theorem in real life – all while trying to avoid burning yourself on a bunsen burner – is an educational rite of passage.
However, the volume and variety of subjects at GCSE – and the depth to which they are studied – represent a significant step up for students. This step will require them to further develop and master skills such as critical thinking, independent research and analysis.
At Ripple Learning, our inspiring GCSE tutors are subject specialists, learning experts and compassionate mentors all rolled into one: able to truly engage and empathise with your teenager during their 1-to-1 tuition sessions and support them effectively.
During their formative GCSE years teenagers are beginning to become truly independent, while developing intellectually and socially. Beyond imparting their knowledge of the subject and exam boards, our tutors are well-placed to share crucial skills such as self-organisation, time management and efficient revision skills – which are just as important.
Applying these resourceful skills early on in the GCSE process gives students back the time and space to stay curious and grow intellectually – allowing them to flourish on a personal level and gain the exam results that they truly deserve.
Before beginning anything, the first step is that we get to know your teenager’s personality and where they are seeking support. Once we have this, we believe we can find the perfect tutor for them.
