Not everyone needs a tutor every week
Weekly one-to-one tuition is the most effective thing I offer and it isn't the right answer for everyone. Some students need structure rather than teaching. Some families can't justify the cost. Some students are perfectly capable and simply have no idea how to revise, because nobody has ever actually taught them.
RevisionLab is for them. It takes the way I teach — find the break, rebuild in order, practise retrieval rather than re-reading — and turns it into hubs students can work through on their own.
What's in it
- Structured revision paths per subject, in a sensible order rather than the order the textbook happens to use.
- Retrieval practice built in, because re-reading feels productive and changes very little.
- Exam technique and command words treated as a skill to be taught, not something students should somehow absorb.
- Short, specific tasks rather than "do a past paper".
Who it suits
Students who are broadly coping but disorganised. Students revising for mocks. Students on a waiting list for one-to-one sessions. And students who want to work at their own pace at eleven at night, which, realistically, is when a fair amount of revision happens.
Who it doesn't suit
A student with a genuine, specific gap in understanding needs a person, not a resource. If your child can't rearrange an equation or has never really understood moles, no revision hub will fix that — and I'd rather tell you than sell you something that won't work. That's what the one-to-one sessions are for.
