Easter revision courses at Greene’s are all based around a programme of individual tuition and independent study to ensure that your specific needs are addressed.
To prepare for the summer examinations in May and June of each year, it is often useful to think of taking an intensive revision course during the Easter holidays. There may be topics that have not yet been covered or assimilated, key concepts that need further exploration and understanding, examination techniques that need to be honed or a fresh look at subject matter that needs to be covered for the examinations.
Whatever the reasons and whatever the circumstances they are almost certain to be specific and unique to you. Everyone is different, examination boards vary in their requirements, and options – even for the same board – may well vary from school to school and subject to subject.
Easter revision courses at Greene’s are all based around a programme of individual tuition and independent study to ensure that your specific needs are addressed. However, this means you should also expect to complete about three hours of independent study for each hour of tuition during the time you are with us.
Trained subject tutors are carefully chosen to suit your particular modules or your style of learning, and after each tutorial they will write a report on your work. These reports are available online so that all concerned are aware of your progress, punctuality and what is being covered. Preparation of the short course can also be co-ordinated with your school, so that tutors can be well briefed about specific topics that need attention.
Tuition takes place in the tutor’s teaching premises. Dates are flexible, and are arranged at mutually convenient times, dependent on the availability of the most suitable tutor; however, please note that whilst tutorials can, and often do, take place during weekends and Bank Holidays, our offices in central Oxford will be closed.
Although courses can be arranged at any time over the Easter period, we advise an early booking as our tutors do become extremely busy at this time of year, and so their timetables quickly become full. The earlier both you and Greene’s can begin working on your timetable, the more certain we can be to offer a tutor in your subject, and at precisely the times, and on the dates, you want. As a general rule, this needs to be about four weeks before you wish the tuition to begin.
