How it works

These are high intensity classes designed to get students ahead of their classes. What we cover in one session, is equivalent to 4-6 weeks of teaching at school. Every month we teach a different module, with the aim of covering the entire curriculum before their final exams.

Each lesson is dedicated to covering both theory as well as exam practice. Students receive a question pack prior to attending the class (in addition to high quality lecture notes), which is an opportunity for them to test their knowledge and see how much of the module they already know. During the live class, the teachers go through each question, and explain exactly how to score the highest marks.

These are live lessons held over Microsoft Teams. During the live class, there will be plenty of opportunity for student engagement, including live quizzes and Q&A's.

Frequently asked questions

What learning materials are provided by your company every month?
In addition to the live class that is held, we also provide students with a pre-course pack containing:
1. Question papers
2. Lecture Notes
3. Presentation Slides on the module
We focus on a problem-based learning approach to learning, whereby, we first assess our student’s knowledge by providing them with past paper examination questions. We expect the students to attempt these before attending the lesson.

In addition, for every module, we also provide high quality lecture notes that are written by our subject tutors. The lecture notes contain all of the salient information for each module, allowing students to have access to pre-course learning material.
My son/daughter hasn't yet covered the theory for the lesson; are they expected to complete all of the questions received in the question pack?
We do not expect students to be able to answer all of the questions if they have not yet covered the theory before. However, we'd advise for them to attempt as many as they can, so that they can better follow the teacher during the live event.

During the lesson, the teacher will be teaching the theory from first principles, as well as working through questions from the exam pack. The point of giving the questions is to evoke the students' curiosity and for them to be better engaged during the lesson. Therefore, even if they cannot answer the questions, they should still attend, as it will give them an opportunity to learn something new during the class.

We also provide more questions than what can be answered in the class, as we expect students to continue practicing after the lesson.
How do I get Access to the Live Class?
After registration, all students will be provided access to their personalised online learning dashboard. Within the dashboard, there will be links to the class registered for that month. All lessons take place over Microsoft Teams and these links will be provided in the student portal.
Will we receive the mark-schemes to the questions or the video recordings of the session after the class?
Yes. After the lesson, we will send all parents the video recordings of the sessions, the answer sheets to all of the questions and the presentation slides covered in class. These are usually sent 72 hours after the class finishes.
Does my child need to turn on their microphone/camera during the live lesson?
The lessons are a live webcast of only the teacher. It is a one-way stream, and therefore, students will not be required to turn on their camera or microphone. Students will only be able to see the teacher and not vice-versa.
Will there be any opportunities for students to engage in the class or ask questions during the live event?
Yes absolutely! We have partnered up with a technology company called Slido, to help make our lessons more interactive and engaging for students. Students will be able to take part in live quizzes and compete with other students across the country as well as being able to respond to questions asked by teachers using various interactive devices, including live polls, MCQs, and word clouds.

As much as focusing on the front-end teacher, we also heavily invest in back-end teachers. There will be a live chat facility, where students will be able to post questions in real-time and get answers by our medic teachers, who are working in the background to help moderate the chat.
