You work as a form teacher / tutor / mentor in years 12 or 13, or in a sixth form college.You want your hard-working students to have a better chance of getting great grades and into a top university.You know that private schools do this more easily than state institutions and you want to redress this balance.This book is for you.The author, privately educated himself, taught in a state school for his entire career and specialized in enabling his students to pass their A-levels with higher than usual grades. He also helped them to do all the preparatory work necessary to ensure a much more successful UCAS application, thus mirroring or bettering the private schools' methods.He achieved this through a combination of insight and a holistic approach. His students grew in self-esteem and took control of their own learning in a way that few of their peers imagined possible. Mind-set, organisation, study-skills, revision skills, exam technique, use of free time and study periods, work placements, University choice and writing of the personal statement were just some of the things he dealt with in his comprehensive programme. His students were taught not to work harder, simply smarter. He proved that it is possible to achieve the highest grades and a place at a Russell Group university, over and over again.This book is a comprehensive guide to achieving similar results.
