The Feedback

“It was great (but a little bit scary) to see my habits so clearly. At least I have the chance to make some changes now.”

“Practising so many different revision methods in the session was really helpful. Because the presenter taught us how the methods work, it made me trust the methods. I will definitely use some of them.”

“I needed Study Skills Zone to give our students some better study and revision skills, but I also wanted them to inspire them and really make them feel good about themselves and their chances. According to staff and students, they did this brilliantly.”

“This seems to have been just the boost our students needed. Exam techniques are necessary but, more than anything else, students need to believe in themselves – that they can achieve. This seems to have been a key message from today.”
