What you need to know about study skills
What this support covers, and how the lessons work.
Study skills are the habits around schoolwork: a weekly plan, how to revise, and how to start when the work feels stuck. This is not a school subject, and it is not exam technique for one paper.
A tutor helps build a routine that fits the timetable you already have. That can include how to revise actively, how to split a task, and how to use the time before a test.
If your child is lost in the subject itself, say so. Mathematics, sciences, and other subjects need a tutor who teaches that syllabus. Study skills sit alongside that, they do not replace it.
We do not do the homework. We help your child organise it and understand how to tackle it.

What we cover
What we cover for study skills
What a tutor helps with. We do not do the work for you.
Planning the week
A simple plan for homework, revision, and rest. We fit it around the school timetable rather than replacing it.
Revision
Short, active revision instead of rereading notes. The method has to match the subject your child is actually taking.
Starting work
When a task sits untouched, we break it into a first step your child can do in the lesson and repeat alone.
What this is not
Study skills are not a substitute for subject teaching, and they are not a psychological assessment.
Common mistakes

Study strategy
How lessons work for study skills
Name the task, then work on that. We do not do it for you.
- 1
Before the first lesson
Name the task
Tell us the subject, the curriculum if there is one, and the deadline. Bring the brief or the homework.
- 2
Before you book
Meet the tutor
The free Meet and Greet is a conversation. You decide whether the tutor understands the task.
- 3
While the task is open
Weekly lessons
Lessons explain the work and practise the next step. Your child does the piece that will be handed in.
- 4
Before the deadline
Feedback
The tutor comments on your child's draft or working. We do not rewrite it.
Tactics
Bring the question, the worksheet, or the university page.
Say if this is assessed work.
Book a subject tutor as well if the gap is the syllabus.
Recommended approach
Start when the task is set, not the night before it is due. A short run of lessons can still help if the deadline is close, as long as your child is doing the writing.
What your child will achieve
What you can expect from study skills tutoring
Realistic outcomes when your child commits to the process
A weekly plan your child can follow
A revision method for the subjects they are taking
A first step for work that keeps getting stuck
A clear line between study skills and subject tutoring
A tutor explains and gives feedback. We do not do the homework, essay, research, or application for you, and we do not guarantee a grade or a place.
Frequently asked questions about study skills
Is study skills a school subject?
No. It is help with planning, revision, and managing time. The syllabus still belongs to the subject your child is taking.
Can this replace a maths or science tutor?
No. If the difficulty is the subject content, book a tutor for that subject. Study skills can sit next to those lessons.
Will the tutor do the homework?
No. The tutor helps your child understand the task and plan it. Your child does the work.
