With GCSEs round the corner you will probably find yourself in a state of panic? You have spent the last 2 years thinking that your GCSEs are months away, and all of sudden they are quickly approaching and you have two years worth of learning to revise and remember in the next two weeks.
We know it’s scary, but you know what? You’ve worked really hard over the last two years and with the right amount and structure for GCSE revision you’ll be fine.
We have put together some GCSE revision tips to help you;
- There is a wonderful space that many of us fall into during revision, it’s a place where we procrastinate and convince ourselves that without a clear cut plan in mind we cannot start revising for our GCSEs. Of course planning your GCSE revision is a good idea, but make sure you don’t fall into the trap of spending longer planning your GCSE revision than you spend actually doing your GCSE revision.
- Making a GCSE revision plan is a brilliant way to make sure you include all your subjects and all the areas you want to revise. However, as we have said before; make sure you do not spend too much time making your GCSE revision plan as you’ll miss out on that important revising time. Aim to do a few hours every day, maybe slot in some break times and plan fun things to do in these break times so you have something to work towards. Make sure you get lots of GCSE revision in, but do not burn yourself out.
- Past papers are extremely useful when it comes to GCSE revision, it gives you a chance to see clearly the areas in which you struggle so you know which areas that need more revision time and which areas you have pretty much got the hang of, or even know like the back of your hand. Ask your teachers and Get Smart tutors for past exam papers or search for them online. These will also help you prepare for the layout of your exam paper in your GCSE so you will feel more at ease on the big day. They are readily available on many exam board websites.
- There is no reason to be scared of exams, if you spend time worrying about how scared you are of exams then you will be wasting quality revision time. Try and channel happy and positive vibes when you are revising; don’t be ashamed of praising yourself when you do well on a past paper or finally crack something you were struggling with. Do your best to stay positive and steer clear from negative energies.
- You need to relax, take a deep breath and everything will fall into place. The effort you put into your GCSEs is what you will get out of them, so try to stay calm and relaxed, prepare as much as you can for your GCSEs and you may even find you enjoy them!
If you are still worried about your GCSEs or you’re struggling to rise why not give us a call, we would be happy to offer advice and guidance to support you.

Not only are the rooms spacious and welcoming, but also the teachers, not just Mr P, are kind and intellectual in their subject field. I was very impressed with Mr Pindoria’s tutoring. His subject knowledge in Science and Maths is amazing, I was very spontaneous when it came to which topic in which science I wanted to learn, so when Mr P seemed to know every single topic, I was inspired by how intellectual a teacher could be. He also has a sense of humour, which keeps the classroom light-hearted, Mr P somehow manages to keep a relaxed attitude in the work area and yet student still get work done.
Overall I would recommend any pupil, from Year 1 to A-Level students to give Get Smart Tutoring a chance for Science, Maths and English, as there is always appropriate work for you no matter what your ability is.

“Best investment Decision ever!!”
N’s reading age was significantly below her actual age. Within weeks the improvement in her reading was apparent. She is currently top of her class in all subjects.
I can’t speak highly enough of Kam Pindoria and the way in which my daughter Elisa has come on in leaps and bounds with her maths especially she has gained so much more confidence, has conquered times tables and is mastering timing, and fractions
“Success from Primary to Secondary Level!”
Dear Mr and Mrs Pindoria,

“Amazing Results!”
Last September my son was struggling with his Maths classes at school. After several conversations with his teachers it was obvious he wasn’t going to get any help. I decided to bring him for extra lessons here and it was the best decision I could of made. He was a grade 4 (GCSE ) when he first came along and now only 9 months later he has passed with a grade 7 !!!! I’m so proud of his achievement and am so grateful for the excellent tutoring he received from Ambika. It just goes to show what can be accomplished with a decent teacher is tutoring your child.

“His vocabulary improved dramatically, as well as his reading and writing”
I have a son aged 14, Peter who was insecure and struggling with English and Maths. As his school work and grades were flagging, half way through Peter’s year 7, I decided to enrol him to be tutoring and coached by Ambika Pindoria and her husband Kamlesh. Within six months his grades were completely transformed. His vocabulary improved dramatically, as well as his reading and writing skills. He excelled not only in English but also in other subjects requiring fluency in written and verbal expression, such as geography and history. Ambika stretched him in maths, engaging him with a unique mix of computer and written work, and now he is working at GCSE level (even though he is only year 8). Most of all his confidence surged and I cannot recommend Ambika Pindoria more….Whenever he comes out of the lesson he is smiling and very happy. I am very grateful to Ambika for helping Peter her coaching and tutoring has been incredible.

“Best Tutoring Provider in Ilford”
Before my child started with Kam Pindoria he was lacking confidence and he was about 12 months behind in maths, English and particularly reading. Since receiving tutoring from Kam Pindoria he has had a big boost in his confidence and self esteem and has caught up with his school work.
