Intake
Our journey together will start with a free intake. In these 30 minutes we will get to know eachother and talk about your upcoming exam(s). How do you normally prepare for exams? And what do you find difficult for this exam? Together we will discover what skills we are going to work at and how to prepare you best for your upcoming test.
Action plan
When you decide you want to work with me after your intake, I will make a personal plan of action for you. It will show which goals we are going to work on, how we are going to accomplish them and which materials we are going to use.
It will also state the agreements we make and policies for cancellation and payment. After you sign it and send it back to me, we will start with our learning journey to work towards your goals!
Taking tests is
a unique skill
Taking an exam (and passing) requires more then just the theory of the subject. You need to understand the question (and decide from a larger text what information you need), combine previous with new knowledge and often use logics and calculations to get the the answer. Many STEM subjects require a specific manner of writing your ansers, like significant numbers, units or the use of jargon.
Aside from subject dependant theory, test taking involves stress control, strategics, time management and keeping your calm. We will also talk about these skills and see where you can improve. I will coach you on getting more grip on every aspect involved in taking a test; from preparation, to the actual test taking and what to learn from your mistakes after the test, if you made any.
What to expect
We will work together on the excerices provided by your teacher. Maybe you have excess to a mock exam or old exams that we can go through together. After we have covered the theory and tried some entry-level excerizes I will ask you to make (a part of) an old exam and time how long it takes you. Afterwards we will analyse the questions, your answers and your speed.
