    S3 Ep30: On Preparing for the GCSE Journey
    Aug 7 2022
    You can almost hear the collective sigh of relief from those of us who’ve now come to the end of the exam period road. Now, all we have to do is wait for the results. But amongst us there are year 10 parents, the next cohort of GCSE studying families, considering the trek ahead as they leave the relative comfort of year 10 to the adventure that is exam year. So just what is the best foot forward on this journey?

    To end season 3 of The Study Sessions Podcast we're thinking about the next cohort and how to prepare for success. Nathan McGurl, founder of The Study Buddy, is joined by Rachel Stuart - academic coach and founder of The Mindset Lab.

    In this episode we'll be covering:

    · Is the summer a good time to think about academic goals?
    · How do you go about setting academic goals?
    · How much should students/parents think about mock previous exams in preparing for 2023 GCSEs?
    · Are there coaching ‘tricks’ that parents can use to help motivate their children?
    · What should students (and parents) have in place to start the next academic year on the right foot?

    This podcast series talks to a range of experts, parents and students about studying, with practical tips on surviving and thriving in revision and exams. Why not take a look back over the last three seasons' episodes for a wealth of tips and advice?

    S3 Ep29: On what happens after GCSEs
    Jun 27 2022
    The end of exams brings with it an almost palpable lifting of a weight. The hard work has been done – or not – and now all you have to do is wait. And I say “all” like it’s easy in itself. For some this waiting period can be a little fraught too. So what are the best ways to approach this hinterland between exams, results and our little darling’s next steps?

    This week I’m delighted to be joined by Andy Scott-Evans. And is the Head Teacher of Becket Keys Church of England School in Essex where he has been head for nearly 10 years.

    In this episode we ask:
    • Do you think it’s worth trying to pick over the bones of their freshly sat exam?
    • There’s a temptation to say “oh well they don’t really matter” if things haven’t gone well. Weighing the relative importance of GCSEs for students
    • How best to use the time between now and results (and start of term)
    • Should students be mindful of their CVs during this time?
    • Advice for results day and aftermath

  • S3 Ep28: On good advice during the exam period

    S3 Ep28: On good advice during the exam period
    Jun 1 2022
    If there’s one thing more stressful than revision for students – and us parents – then it’s the actual exam period. Many of us will feel like life is on a knife edge not knowing what to do for the best. Just how can we move past the fluctuating moods and bouts of anxiety, to try and make this a productive period?

    The exam season has started in earnest – or should that be in anger?! It’s an important and tricky time to navigate. All three seasons of our podcast have been hopefully building to this moment. With episodes ranging from coping with stress, through to the importance of a good diet. In response to some of the common questions The Study Buddy gets asked, I've cherry-picked a few gems from the last 87 episodes to help.

    In this episode we cover:

    • My child doesn't seem to care at all.
    • My teen wants only 8s and 9s
    • Where is the pressure coming from and should we tackle that?
    • How can I help my child when it gets too much?
    • Should we be preparing our child for the worst, just in case?
    • Is it too late now to be doing anything?
    • It’s exam day, what should they eat?
    In this third season of the podcast, Nathan - founder of The Study Buddy - will be talking to parents, students and teachers about GCSE and A Level exams in 2022. Sharing these real-life experiences will confirm we're not alone and should also provide plenty of advice and tips when it comes to supporting our own teens.
