0 Comments

   Alan David Pritchard is one of Positively MAD’s senior presenters and the author / creator of the 6S Study Skills System – a holistic approach to learning and revision

Recently, Alan was asked to deliver the 6S Course to two sets of Year 11 students at Heart of England School in Coventry.

 The course, which is a whole day event, teaches students how to prepare their whole body for the exam experience and shows them 10 different learning techniques to improve revision and recall.

 From the feedback received, it is clearly evident that the students thoroughly enjoyed their experience and were motivated and inspired to revise in more creative and effective ways.

 The students were asked to explain how the course had changed their view of their ability to study well. This is what they had to say:

  · “I feel more confident and know more ways to revise.”

· “I have learnt different methods.”

· “Studying can be made a lot quicker and easier.”

· “I will use some of these new methods.”

· “I now understand different ways.”

· “I am now more confident and know more than one way to study.”

· “It made me think differently towards studying and revising.”

· “The tips have made me feel differently about revision.”

· “Now I have realised what type of revision to do.”

· “Most methods and tips are relevant and I will use.”

· “Completely changed my outlook on revising and school.”

· “You have showed me how easy it is to make life go the way I want it to.”

· “I feel like I can probably study easier.”

· “I know a lot more ways that are easier to revise.”

· “L e a r n e d n e w methods.”

· “I have learnt new ways to study.”

· “I now feel more confident and find revision easier.”

· “I can remember more things from revision.”

· “It’s not hard work, it is effort.”

· “How it changes my perspective of things.”

· “To use impact.”

· “I now know how and the best way to revise.”

· “Now I can study having fun.”

· “I am more confident, but I need to actually do the revision.”

· “I have a new attitude to exams.”

· “I now have the ability to change my learning styles.”

· “I now have an ability to learn in different ways.”

· “I actually had so much fun in learning.”

· “You have given me good techniques to revise and learn.”

· “I can now use actions or pictures to remember for my exam.”

· “I now know different ways that work for me.”

· “I now have more ways to revise.”

· “Alan made it fun.”

· “I feel less under stress and more fun to revise.”

· “A lot more ways to revise.”

 Of all the students who handed in feedback forms, 100% said that they would definitely recommend the course to other students.

 Alan would like the thank Mark Kennedy for his assistance on the day, and would like to express his gratitude to the students at Heart of England for making him feel so welcome and appreciated.
