GCSE and A-Levels Summer 2021

Dinner conversation shocker
3

• It was a conversation I had over dinner last week
  with my step-daughter- currently doing A-levels
  that completely took me by surprise. Thinking I
  knew the current situation about education,
  school closures and lost learning, the impact of
  hearing a personal account rendered me
  speechless. Hearing from young people what this
  situation is like on the ground as it were,
  really shocked me. Many of her friends have been
  turned down from their University choices despite
  being predicted as and As, mostly due to
  students who deferred from last year, creating an
  educational bottle neck that is likely to
  continue for 2 to 3 years.

Anxiety
5

• It is no wonder, that students are anxious.
  Theres so much uncertainty and the conversation
  about fairness on a global and national scale
  resounds loudly.
• Undoubtedly, the hardest hit students of all in
  the COVID-19 pandemic are our current GCSE and
  A-Level students. With so much content untaught,
  it is hard to see how both the DfE, schools and
  Ofqual can come up with a solution that is gong
  to be fair to everyone.

Ofqual Enquiry
7

• The Education Secretary, recently commissioned an
  enquiry into how students will get a fair grade
  this year. Every educator is, of course,
  breathing a sigh of relief that there is no
  algorithm decision and whilst waiting to hear the
  outcome, we have been making plans to help as
  many tutor gcse and A-Level students as possible.
  Whilst we wait for the announcement due next
  week, we have realized there is no time to sit on
  our laurels and that we have to take action to
  help!

GCSEs and A-Levels are pivotal exams
9

• During my school based career, and now as an
  educational consultant, I find myself often
  having the conversation about exams.
  Understandably, parents worry that their child is
  going to be judged unfavorably or experience
  extreme stress. I generally always find myself
  giving the sage advice that really- GCSEs and
  A-Levels- they are the results that matter, in
  the hope, of course, of putting things into
  context and helping parents to feel less
  concerned. Now that context is in sharp focus and
  here at Elite Tutors Sussex we have been
  considering what we can do to help.
• That is why we have just released our GCSE and
  A-Level tutor packages, aimed at supporting
  students to be the best they can be whether
  results are based on teacher assessments for
  course work, school based written exams or a
  combination, students need to be proving what
  they are capable of every step of the way
  throughout the next few months.

Get a tutor on board
11

• The smartest approach, of course is to get an
  expert on your team. The qualified teachers that
  we introduce you to are experts in their field,
  some have even been examiners and most have years
  of experience tutor for gcse. Graduate tutors are
  also experts in their field and can bring out the
  best in your teenager, understanding the
  difficulties of the current context well. Having
  an online or face to face tutor can have a
  significant impact on how your child feels about
  their abilities and will help them to feel
  confident that they are making good progress and
  doing everything they can to get the best results.
