Our Top 5 Study Tips

Our Top 5 Study Tips



Introduction

If you’re a student; chances are you’ve had to learn how to study, and you have probably worked out, there’s no one-size-fits-all formula for doing it right.

Each person learns differently and has different needs when it comes to studying effectively. But there are some general tips that can help all students do better in school, and in their additional learning outside of school.

In this blog post, we’ll share five of our favourite study tips for online learners who want to ace their classes!

1) Eliminate distractions

It’s important to limit distractions while you study so that your focus is on the material and not the other things in your life.

Turn off your phone, remove any other distractions from your computer screen (such as browser tabs or chat applications), and make sure you have enough time to study.

If there are people around you who might disturb or distract you, consider finding a quiet place where they won’t be able to reach out and grab your attention.

2) Prepare a study space

With the right study space, you can create an environment that motivates and inspires you to do your best. The ideal place for studying should be quiet, comfortable and free from distractions.

A good idea is to find a room in your house where you can close the door behind you so that it’s not too easy for people to get in and out of.

If there are no rooms like this available in your home, you can use any other space that has enough room for a desk or table. If possible, try using a specific corner of the room so that when someone enters they won’t immediately see what’s on your desk.

3) Create a study schedule

There are a few key factors to keep in mind when creating your study schedule. First, make sure you have enough time to study. If you are reading over study materials in your own time and feel like you lack energy after school or online tutoring, maybe set time aside at a weekend for that learning.

Second, plan ahead! You should always create a plan for your studies before beginning them, this way, you can avoid wasting time by jumping between different subject materials and assignments without prioritising one over the other at any given moment.

Finally, remember that breaks are important! Make sure you take some time away from material every now and then so that it’ll be fresh in your mind when it’s important for studying again later on down the road.

4) Take breaks

  1. Take a break every hour: Instead of spending hours at a time studying, take shorter breaks throughout the day. This will keep your mind fresh and help prevent burnout. Try taking a walk outside or reading an unrelated article if you need some time away from your work.
  2. Get enough sleep: Make sure you’re getting enough sleep, as little as six hours per night has been shown to affect memory and learning ability, so make sure you’re getting enough rest! You’ll be more alert and productive when it’s time for class if you’ve got adequate rest beforehand.
  3. Don’t study too much at once: It’s tempting to spend all your free time working on homework or studying for exams, but this can actually backfire by making it harder for your brain to retain new information in short-term memory space (so that means long term storage may not happen as easily).

5) Study in groups

Studying in groups is one of the most effective ways to learn more and better retain information. You can use your classmates as a resource for helping each other with homework, assignments, projects and exams.

Often times students feel like they are alone when it comes to learning new material or understanding what they are being taught. Having a group of peers who are all facing similar challenges will help you stay motivated by providing a support system that can be used both during and after class time.

This is one of the main reasons why we have our online classes in groups. Peer learning has proven to be the most effective way of learning.

Conclusion

Studying is hard work. It takes time, and it takes effort. But if you follow these tips, you’ll be better prepared for exams and tests, and that’s what matters most.

The most important thing to remember is that studying takes time. You can’t just cram before the big day and expect everything to click into place. It takes time to learn something new and become good at it.

We hope these tips will help you improve your or your child’s studying habits. Studying is not easy, but the more prepared you are, the better off you’ll be.

Good luck!

    How Online Tutoring is on the Rise

    How Online Tutoring is on the Rise



    In the past decade, online tutoring has grown from an alternative to in-person learning to being just as popular. Studies show that more children are learning online than ever before.

    The convenience and affordability of online tutoring make it an attractive option for families who want their children to have additional tuition after school hours with a tutor.In a survey conducted by Bramble in the summer of 2022, over 2200 students and tutors participated – confirming our ideas about how children are learning today.

    In 2021, just under 80% of students found online tutoring to be effective or more effective than in-person. Now, in 2022, that number has grown to 86%.

    Online learning is more accessible than ever

    Online tutoring is just as accessible as its in-person counterpart. It’s easy to access and can be used anywhere with an internet connection, at any time of day, and on any device, even your phone!It’s also useful for those who are unable to attend class or meet in person because they have a busy schedule or live in remote areas.

    Tutoring online is fun, convenient and affordable

    Online tutoring is fun, convenient and affordable. You can find a tutor that is right for you no matter where you live in the world.Online tutoring has been around for years but it’s only recently starting to become popular with parents and students alike. Online tutors are more affordable than in-person tutors because they don’t have to pay rent or an hourly rate at an office.

    This means that online tutoring costs less than traditional in-person sessions because there are fewer overhead costs involved (no office space). They also save on travel time between appointments.

    It’s easier to source a tutor online than in-person

    It’s easier to source a tutor online than an in-person tutor. When you’re looking for a tutor, you can find one with just a few clicks. This is especially helpful for students who are seeking tutors that live in remote areas.

    It also means you are able to find a tutor who fits your needs. It may be that you cannot locally source a specific tutor, however, online tutoring can offer you access to the best tutors across the country.

    You can book as little or as much tutoring as you like

    You can book as little or as much tutoring as you like. We have clients who book for just a few sessions a week. You can book how many sessions and how many subjects which suit you and your child’s needs.

    Students are more comfortable in their own surroundings

    While learning at home is a novel concept, it’s not new. Tutors have been working with students in their homes for years. But unlike traditional tutoring sessions where the tutor visits your home and you work in your living room or kitchen, online tutoring allows the student to work from their tablet or computer.

    Students also enjoy the comfort and privacy of their own homes where they feel safe to learn and explore core subjects.

    Students can learn at their own pace

    The online tutoring option is great for those who need more time to grasp a concept or process than they would in a traditional setting. This is perfect for students who are self-motivated and want to move forward on their own schedule but also works well for students with ADHD who do better when given extra time and space to think through things in their heads.

    Gaining the edge over their peers

    No one can deny that the internet has transformed the way we communicate, do business and learn. And when it comes to education, online tutoring has become an important tool in helping your child gain an edge over their peers.

    Online tutoring is a great way to help your child stay engaged in their learning and get the additional educational input they deserve. It’s also a great option for parents who have busy schedules or who are looking for extra help after school hours.

    As more and more parents realise that their children can learn just as well at home, we’ll see even more people taking advantage of online tutoring. We’re excited to be at the forefront of this new way of learning, and we hope you are too!
