2021 here we go – the only way is up!
So let’s start the new year with hope, enthusiasm and energy! We can’t change the past but we can decide on our future.
Reality check
Maybe you’ve coasted, lacked motivation at times or survived by the seat of your naturally academic pants up until this point? If so, now is the time to pull those imaginary socks up and make some promises to yourself.
Your teachers and parents might be on your case over work in the coming months, but you need to do this for yourself. They are YOUR grades, your responsibility, and ultimately the buck stops with you!
What could you be doing?
Are you reading up after class? Are you writing up notes as you go? Are you asking for help from your peers or teacher when you don’t understand something? Are you requesting extra work?
If your answer to these questions is no then you have to ask yourself how badly you want the result. Your grades will not be handed to you on a plate, they will require work and hard work at that!
It’s important to understand that being physically present in a classroom or in a tutoring session does not mean you will automatically ace your assessments. What happens after the sessions is key.
Tutoring isn’t a magic wand. We can fill the gaps in your knowledge, help you understand and boost your confidence. Unfortunately we won’t be sitting the exam for you so take the tools you are given and put them to good use!
Goal setting
Start as you mean to go on.
Before you start the new term, print off the goal setting form (download below with parental permission). Think carefully and honestly about your attitude to learning and make realistic and achievable goals. Stick it on your wall and hold yourself to account.
We will be here to guide you through it – let’s make 2021 your year. The only way is up!
