Ep. 43
What are some of the best skills and tips to set your teen up for success as they start high school?
I'm not talking about the basics like organising their pencil case or laying out their uniform the night before.
Listen in for my top three study habits I recommend setting up in the early years of high school, the overall purpose of instilling them AND what to do if your teen’s further along but doesn’t have these in place yet.
YOU WILL LEARN:
- Why awareness is the most important 'competence' and how to build it.
- Exactly why I recommend the 10WGT for Y9 - 12 / Y10 - 13 and the certain situations where it might be appropriate to start earlier.
- How to make sure your teen isn't studying longer or harder than they need to, without dampening their spirit or work ethic.
- What's important to know and do in order to get maximum return on their effort.

Parents of Hardworking Teens - How to Succeed in English - With Gemma Toms
play

04/24/23 • 37 min

Ep. 46 Whether your teen's aiming for top marks in English, or hates reading and just wants to 'get through English', this episode if for you.
Gemma Toms is our English-Focus Coach, Shakespeare ninja, literature lover and examination extraordinaire.
As well as being an in-demand high school teacher in the UK, she's also an external examiner, lead marker, senior examiner, moderator AND she even works as a professional editor, too (just for fun)!
Here's WHAT YOU'LL LEARN from my conversation with Gemma:

  • What your teen should do BEFORE they start reading any substantial text they're set (and the two things they should know before they dive in).
  • Better ways to develop a deep understanding of a novel or play (rather than re-reading it).
  • How to encourage a reluctant reader.
  • How to choose the BEST evidence when planning or writing an analytical essay.
  • What to do (and NOT do) in top responses when aiming to achieve top criteria.
  • Tips for proofreading and critiquing your teen's writing if they ask you to read over it.
  • Small edits that will make a BIG difference to final marks in creative or original writing.

Parents of Hardworking Teens - Dealing With Disappointing Results

Dealing With Disappointing Results

Parents of Hardworking Teens

Ep. 68 -
It's almost inevitable that at some point your teen will get a result that is, to them, disappointing.
Maybe they put in lots of time and effort...
Maybe they thought they'd given correct, or good, answers...
But the result isn't what they expected or hoped for.
After hundreds of conversations over the years, helping students come to terms with and create positive outcomes from a disappointing result, I've found two critical aspects in conversations that may help your teen connect with and then constructively move forward and upwards from a result they felt disappointed with.
Listen to find out what they are and how I use them.

Parents of Hardworking Teens - Don't Hedge Your Bets

Don't Hedge Your Bets

Parents of Hardworking Teens

play

09/11/23 • 19 min

Ep. 67 -
I sometimes see students 'hedging their bets' in exams and assessments because they aren't:
- certain what the question is really asking;
- sure how the marks are going to be allocated or what’s really required for the top criteria;
- confident in the subject content.
So they give more than is asked for in their answer, in the hope that at least some of it will get them some marks.
However, this is rarely a good strategy and in this episode, I explain why.
