Tutor Me Webinar Recap: Helping Your Child Succeed in Exams

May 15

At Tutor Me, we believe that student success is a team effort—and parents play a crucial role in that journey. That’s why we were thrilled to host our recent parent webinar, "Supporting Your Child with Exam Preparation", led by one of our highly qualified teachers. The session was filled with practical tips, thoughtful guidance, and supportive strategies that every parent can implement at home.

Here’s a quick recap of what we covered:

📅 Know the Exam Schedule

One of the most impactful ways to support your child is to stay informed about their exam timetable. We recommended:

Getting a copy of their exam schedule.
Using a wall calendar or app to track key dates.
Helping them plan revision time around important deadlines.

Knowing what’s coming helps reduce anxiety and ensures preparation is targeted and timely.

📚 Help Them Plan Their Revision

Revision doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We encouraged parents to:

Break revision into small, manageable chunks.
Use revision timetables and checklists.
Support with tools like flashcards or past papers.

Planning ahead helps students avoid cramming and boosts long-term retention.

🛋 Create a Good Study Environment

Where your child studies can be just as important as what they study. Some tips shared:

Ensure the space is quiet, tidy, and well-lit.
Minimise distractions like mobile phones or noisy siblings.
Keep study supplies like pens, highlighters, and paper within reach.

A calm, organised space allows for deeper focus and better productivity.

🥗 Encourage Healthy Routines

Good habits fuel good performance. We reminded parents to:

Prioritise sleep, balanced meals, and regular exercise.
Build in breaks and downtime to avoid burnout.
Lead by example—routines at home influence your child’s habits.

Healthy bodies and minds go hand-in-hand with exam success.

✅ Practice Makes Progress

Whether it's practice questions, mock exams, or quick-fire quizzes—repetition builds confidence. Encouraging consistent practice helps students learn from mistakes and see improvement over time.

💬 Stay Positive & Stay Involved

Finally, your encouragement goes a long way. Be your child’s biggest cheerleader:

Celebrate small wins.
Stay calm and positive during stressful periods.
Let them know that effort matters more than perfection.

🎤 Q&A and Ongoing Support

The webinar wrapped up with a Q&A session, where parents shared concerns and received personalised advice. It was fantastic to see so many engaged and committed families ready to support their children.
