Study Skills including Pre IB, i-GCSE and S.A.T.

Overview

Our Study Skills course for teenagers is the ideal preparation for students about to begin the International Baccalaureate (IB), Diploma, or GCSE exams.

Designed to boost confidence and academic readiness, this class equips students with the essential tools to manage their studies effectively and succeed in demanding programmes.

Lessons focus on time management, workload planning, essay writing, presentation techniques, and exam preparation.
