Free masterclass for STUDENTS
The Half-Term Reset
Five days that could change the grade. Most students lose them.
A working hour for students taking exams this year. They will leave with a realistic half-term plan, with effective revision strategies ready to go across all their subjects.

Half term always starts with good intentions
By Tuesday the plan has slipped. By Wednesday there is a row about it. By Friday everyone has quietly agreed to say it was fine.
Not because anyone is lazy. Because nobody has ever shown your teenager what effective revision actually looks like, so the hours go in and very little comes out.
Rewriting notes in four colours looks like work. It moves almost nothing.
What they will leave with
Sixty minutes. All subjects. A plan they can put on the fridge and implement immediately.
A five-day plan
Built live in the session and covering every subject your teenager is sitting.
How to spot what is working
The difference between revision that looks like effort and revision that moves grades.
How and what to prioritise
We'll work on the idea that a "little-and-often" approach is always best.
Permission to rest
Keep the days you have already booked. Spacing is the method, so the breaks are doing real work.
This is not a science session
The method works across the whole timetable, from further maths to French to history. Bring every subject they are sitting and we will plan around all of them.
Who is running it
Hi I'm Kate. I read Biology at Oxford, I mark GCSE and A-level science papers as a practising examiner, and I have spent fifteen years teaching in top UK independent schools.
In that time I have watched capable students work themselves into the ground and go backwards. Almost every time it is the method rather than the effort.
StudyFest came out of that. This masterclass is developed from what I have seen first hand that students need, so they can hit the ground running in October half term.
And if they want a bit of extra support...
This masterclass shows them what a good half term looks like. StudyFest Online supports your teen through it.
Three live sessions across half term, run by Kate. Monday 26th October to teach the method and build the plan. Wednesday 28th October to check in and hold the line. Friday 30th October to look at what worked and set up the term ahead.
Twenty places. £149. Years 10 to 13, all subjects.
Bookings open at the masterclass. Nothing to decide now.
