Parent Workshop

GCSE Study Skills

'I enjoyed your style and approach. The content reinforced a lot of what I already knew but had forgotten or overlooked - it helped me to take a step back. I found focusing on what you can influence/control a good reminder.'

'Very useful to understand how the teenage brain works and how this affects behaviour around screen use.

Fascinating! '
