Happy New Year -2017-A Year of Consistency
Following all the festivities, Educational Superstars are already into the first few days of 2017 and already thinking ahead to impending examination dates!
This year, examinations are being spread out, from the beginning of January to the end of June, at various levels. Students are beginning to take some GCSE subjects, hopeful primary school children are taking entrance examinations and even university students are enduring examinations!
Academic success, like all other success in life, is founded on consistency. It would be futile for an Olympian to train once a week to achieve a gold medal. Their training requires a consistent approach, following a detailed and individual plan.
The same is true of examinations. Subjects should be studied daily to ensure that they are mastered .A consistent approach means that information is transferred from the short term to the long term memory. Consequently, learning of the knowledge required takes place and does not disappear in a short time.
When people of all ages have some short term memory problems it is even more vital that they over learn information and techniques. Over learning requires the subject to be revisited until the learner can recall it efficiently every time they are confronted with a question about it.
Educational Superstars is consistent in its approach to teaching and learning. It focuses on subjects until they are grasped and the time scale for this varies from individual to individual. Even when it is felt that something has been grasped it is often revisited to check recall. Topics are also presented in various forms to encourage problem solving skills.
Currently regular daily exercises are given to learners to reinforce their skills. A little and often is the best approach to developing many skills. Educational Superstars works in harmony with parents, to encourage a good work ethic. As a result of this our pupils and students gain exceptional results in their studies.
LET’S CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER IN HARMONY IN 2017 TO ACHEIVE OUTSTANDING RESULTS AND TO BUILD SKILLS THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME.
