WHAT ARE THE GROUP CLASSES?
The Group classes are 1 hour long online sessions designed for GCSE Maths students with the aim of developing their knowledge and skills. The classes act as a supplement for Year 10’s and Year 11’s to help them prepare for their summer exams. This will be done by focusing on developing exam technique, by going over exam style questions while consolidating any concepts as we go along. Different exam questions will be covered every session, with the aim to get through as much of the syllabus as possible, so students are in the best possible position come May. The classes will be running weekly until the end of exams in the summer.
HOW DO THEY WORK?
Lessons will be conducted via Zoom, where we have interactive whiteboards and screen sharing available, virtually replicating a physical classroom. Sessions will last one hour each day and will be conducted in small groups, with the aim to review key topics which students typically find difficult.
These will be running from Monday to Friday, aimed at parents who would like some extra support for their children during the academic year at an affordable price of £10 per class. Students will be allocated to groups according to their ability and year group, to ensure a personalized learning experience. Sessions are suitable for all exam boards.
MICROSOFT TEAMS
Contact is not limited to the weekly sessions; the students are able to have regular contact with me via the channels created in Microsoft Teams. MS teams is where I post all resources for students to access such as class notes, videos, pdf’s and so on. Any announcements such as lesson times, upcoming assignments are also posted in MS Teams. In addition, students are also expected to work with their peers from time to time, the aim is to create a community of support throughout the course of the year, so a student never feels alone or overwhelmed.
