Description
This one-hour online video is now available on demand. It gives students who are studying for GCSEs or A Levels a chance to find out how they learn best and discover strategies that will work for them. Students need to learn how to study smarter not necessarily harder!
The workshop includes:
- How you learn best
- Effective reading skills
- Effective writing skills
- Revision strategies
- Organisational skills
- Effective examination techniques
The video is delivered by Mary Scully, a dyslexia specialist with 13 years’ previous experience working as a Secondary School SENCo. Mary has extensive experience teaching learners of all ages including supporting students with study skills and is currently working as a specialist teacher in a school environment.
Previous attendees have said:

‘I really liked all of the tasks we had to do and I would use them.’
Accessing our on-demand courses
Please note that we are trialling a different way of sharing our content:
When you purchase an on-demand course, you will receive an automated email from us with various links (make sure to check your junk box!). Pressing the links under the heading Download will allow you to download 1. the course handout(s) and 2. an ‘Accessing the Recording’ document. You will have 1 month from date of purchase to download these documents.
The ‘Accessing the Recording’ document contains a link to a very short Zoom registration form (only 4 questions!). Once completed, you will be granted automatic access to the recording. To start watching, you will need the passcode which will be listed in the ‘Accessing the Recording’ document.
You can now go ahead and 
view the recording. Access to the recording will be available to you for a further month after registration is complete. You can view the recording more than once by clicking the same link you used to register.
If you have any questions about this process or any other queries, please email courses@helenarkell.org.uk
