Connor

My name is Conor, I’m from Northern Ireland and I’ve always loved learning. I have always been fortunate to have great teachers and it allowed me to get my 11+ and a good set of GCSEs and A-Levels, eventually ending up at the University of Oxford, reading “the degree that runs Britain”; PPE.
My particular strength is humanities, I have always found them to be intuitively easy to learn and be able to retain information. In my mind those subjects are all about practice; familiarising yourself with the content and the specifics and committing it to memory. That’s the first step. The second is making yourself comfortable with the style of exam question and acquainting yourself with the exam format. Thus, in my mind, the process is split into two halves, the first being the content and the second being past-papers, lots of them.
It is also worth saying that I’m not picky about how someone revises the content. In school I used many formats to do this, including mind-maps, linear notes, flash-cards, verbal exercises and more, so I would work with whatever is best for my students.
This has always been successful for me and I’m sure it can be for you too!
