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

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.

The Study Success Formula
Parents of Hardworking Teens
06/24/22 • 18 min
Welcome to the very first episode of the Parents of Hardworking Teens podcast!
I founded Rock Solid Study to help as many students as possible to become happy, smart and successful in their study and I hope this podcast will give you, as the parent, the information that you need to help your teen boost their grades AND confidence...
AND have you both enjoy the journey along the way.
WHAT WE COVER
- The (hopefully now, not-so-) secret formula for Study Success and the critical element many students are missing.
- The reason why many hard-working students aren't achieving the results they could, despite studying more and more.
- Why more knowledge does NOT automatically mean more marks (and what does).

Not All Stress is Bad
Parents of Hardworking Teens
10/23/23 • 20 min
Ep. 73 -
Stress often comes from uncertainty, a lack of control or feeling like we can’t get done what needs to be done.
These issues are all in play when it comes to exams.
However, it's important to remember:
Stress is normal and has its benefits.
Stress hormones are released to help us cope.
In the 'right' amounts, these actually increase our focus, our energy, our alertness.
The exact things we need in the exam hall.
This episode is about helping your teen operate within the healthy and yes, actually beneficial, amounts of exam stress.

Essays That Actually 'Answer the Question'
Parents of Hardworking Teens
06/29/22 • 15 min
Essays don’t have to be quite so overwhelming, long, and arduous.
The 2-step 'Topic and Focus' System is a proven, simple and super-effective way to get your teen on the right track in their response and ensure they ‘actually answer the question’. ;)
In this episode I share a real life essay question and how to use the Topic and Focus system to help your teen avoid the ‘Topic Traps’ and answer the precise Focus of the question - even if you have no clue about the subject yourself!
YOU WILL LEARN:
The most common pitfalls affecting students’ essays.
How to help your teen avoid major re-writes, waffling, and low-level responses (all of which can happen, even when the info they include is factually correct and there’s lots of it!).
The trick to checking the focus of the essay and making it super-clear to answer.
How this will help your teen make strategic decisions on what points to include or evidence to select for their essay.

She had received feedback on her draft that it had gone a bit astray, so last night she went back a step to review the topic and focus and reworked it a little. Well today she got her grade: an A!!!!”
If Your Teen's Grades Dropped For No Reason
Parents of Hardworking Teens
07/04/22 • 17 min
Students' grades dropping, even though they’re still putting in the same amount of effort, is a common yet often perplexing situation for many students and their parents.
This common challenge is especially prevalent when moving up from Years 7 & 8 into Years 9 & 10 and then again as they move into the Senior years.
If you’ve had this happen (or you just want to make sure it doesn’t happen!), then listen in for the two ‘behind-the scenes’ reasons why this happens - which have nothing to do with the subject content getting harder - and how to turn things around.YOU WILL LEARN:
Why 'what got them here, won't get them there'. What achieved success in Years 7 and 8 is not the same as what's required in high year levels.
- The subtle but super-important changes in requirements and demands of questions and their mark schemes as students move up through the years in high school and college.
The two specific ways students need to operate at a different level (literally!) in Years 9 & 10 and then again in Senior Years.
