“As an experienced tutor, I love working with Gabbitas as I know my students are not only getting the benefit of my subject expertise, but they are also getting excellent advice on school and university choices. I have taken some of my students through 8+ examinations, then scholarships and GCSE preparation. I get to know my students and their families and can provide support at every step of their educational journey.”

Top Tips For Effective Summer Revision From Our Tutors:
Create a schedule. For example, keep a reading diary in which you record the books you have read, along with synopses and your personal comments on the topic.
Be organised. Check out the syllabus you are expected to have covered.
Plan. Make sure you know the format of the exams you will sit, along with the dates.
Stay consistent. Practice skills often as it’s easy to forget how to do something that was learned 6 months ago.
