Study Skills Expert Blog

So just a quick post to let you know what I'll be writing about and who i am. I'm a Physics teacher at on of the leading schools in Manchester and have also been a personal tutor for the last 6 years. I have a degree in Physics with Astrophysics and trained to be a teacher in Manchester. I have always had a interest in study skills, mainly due to the lack of instruction i had in them while at school and my own discovery of what worked for me while at University. While i was completing my teacher training i undertook a research project which looked at study skills and the benefit of students taking specific lessons in study skills. My study showed that specific lessons in study skills dramatically increased students confidence with revision and exams which reduced stress and lead to a much better understanding of the subject. It is thus that i am starting this blog with lots of hints and tips for revision and reducing the stress of exams. Hopefully it'll be of some help.
