What I have learned after 25 years of teaching is that revision is something you need to master – unless you are a robot it does not come naturally! As someone who went through the school system feeling like I didn’t belong, was stupid and destined for failure, (ADHD was then diagnosed as Hyperkinetic) it was an amazing realisation when that one special teacher (after I had been expelled) said “you have great potential.”
I now help GCSE and A Level students with their English Language and English Literature and show them how to think outside the box (watch my You Tube and Tik Tok/Insta channels).
I often have students who think they “hate” literature and Language and that is like a red rag to a bull for me – I can show my students the beauty and excellence of writers and I have never had a student disagree by the time we have gone through their curriculum.
Stress can really interfere with our ability to focus and do our best – certain parts of our brain shut down in order to deal with stress – so my style of teaching is to give students the tools to manage their “what if’s” and “I cant’s” and then they can truly focus and enjoy their revision and re-learning. So we might use hypnotherapy and NLP (not woo woo at all) because ultimately these students will use these skills throughout life, not just school/college exams but professional skills, personal confidence and relationships (heck once you know how to manage your stress it all comes together!).
The skills I use are somewhat highlighted on my social media, (ie Tik Tok, You Tube, Insta, linkedin and FB) but ultimately, people’s learning styles and stress are not a one size fits all approach – no one is the same – don’t grind away in life when you don’t know your style of listening and learning – you need a bespoke approach – probably at the most 4 sessions – to get you working at your optimum potential – imagine knowing as a teenager – or 30 year old – all your learning styles so you can boss life and leave behind the stuff that is holding you back!
