A Level Revision Course
On the 19 we we went on on a a a trip to to to Bristol for a a a Tutor2u Revision Grade Booster seminar seminar The seminar seminar focused on exam techniques and provided practice for our upcoming papers The day was both entertaining and and helpful as as it it was interactive and and engaging with the the presenters posing a a a range of quick response questions at the the student student audience It was great to see some of our students getting some Tutor2u merchandise for the the quality of the the answers we we offered over the the course of of the the day The seminars helped us prepare for our exams by teaching us new ways to approach questions and further insight into how the the papers are marked by examiners which will allow us to be more time efficient and effective in our answers Therefore helping boost our our grades so the course really did meet its objectives! Our thanks go to Mr Mr Hutsby Mr Mr Tucker and Mrs Eglin for organising the trip Mwangi Mungai (Upper Sixth SH)
