Hi, just wanted say hi. My name's Niki, from Bristol.
I just wanted to connect because I know I'll need help soon.
Hi Niki, welcome. Well done, yo've made the first step. It only gets easier from here on.
hi I'm currently in year 10, doing my gcse's. I'm worried i will get 5 or less in my maths. I think I should be okay in others. Will my math grade affect my university chance?
Hi Sam, It will depend on the course and university and if a good grade is math is a requirement. Maths is a compulsory subject, so most courses want to see a descent grade in it. However, thats not to say that you can't get into a university degree course without maths.
I would suggest you take a positive approach to it. You are in Year 10, so you should in theory have plenty of time to improve your grade. Maths doesn't need to be difficult. Have the battle in solving a problem is to accept that you have a problem that needs to be fixed. You are more mature than most. The fact that you are writing on here wanting advice tells me that you are self-aware. You know maths is a bit of a problem for you. So, why don't you draw up a battle plan on how you will tackle maths. If you need advice, guidance or help reach out. We will do what we can to help you. Thanks.
We created this learning community to bring you together with equally passionate students and tutors ready for something new.
A few things you'll see quickly that make this community different:
It's Ours. Its Yours and Mine. As we build this community together, we have some great features for creating exclusive learning content, various learning tools and methods, more in-depth conversations, richer polls, and events. Plus, by building this learning community, you can have a more efficient and valuable experience with us and each other.
There are More Ways for You to Connect and Help Each Other. There are more ways for you to connect with students and us who are into the same subjects, categories, or who care about the same topics or are near you. You can't get this on any other free or paid network.
We Can Bring Together Learning Content and Community. This means we're freed up to bring you new, fresh learning content, new revision material, ideas and new practices that you can integrate into your learning routine or life.
If you are a student with us, we are aiming to make your experience here awesome. We want you to get five key things from the Learning Community:
To take advantage of a step-by-step learning program where you can learn faster and more efficiently without fumbling around in the dark so that you can gain knowledge and master your school subjects.
To take advantage of a highly effective programme of revision and retrieval practice, so that you have no gaps in your knowledge and you ace your GCSE exams.
To take advantage of our highly focused, fast responding team, who will support and aid your learning, so that you can stop wasting time and learn more quickly.
To get exclusive learning content and conversations, you can't find anywhere else so that you have a competitive advantage over other students.
To meet other students (and tutors) like you, so that we can all exchange ideas, learn new strategies, study smarter and uncover new ways of studying more efficiently as a result of connecting so that you can replicate each other's success.
And one more for luck...
To find inspiration and get encouragement from your peers, when things get tough, we know we have the strength to succeed. 💪
To make this a reality, we are going to need your help. Every time you ask a question, contribute a story, experience, or idea, you're building a knowledge base, every member of this community can tap into to learn better and faster. And when you invite in as few as two new members (your friends or classmates), you're adding rocket fuel to what this community can accomplish together. It's why we're here and why we're grateful you're here with us as well.
Now it's your turn. Here's what we want to know in the conversation below👇
What's the one subject you can offer help to other students with?
What's one ask you have for tutors or students on here?
Science could be your weakness, and you could be studying Motion, and for some reason, you can't get your head around the fundamental principles. So, you need someone to help you understand it better! On the other hand, English Literature could be your favourite subject. You have recently aced your assignments on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, so you can quickly answer questions on this when other students get stuck.
Go ahead, introduce yourself and share your answer below. And with that, you're already making this community the special place we know it can become.
Thank you,
Ben
I need your help to keep this community as valuable, authentic, and lively as possible.
Here are our guidelines:
Be supportive. Encourage and support your fellow students. No one here is looking for your criticism, cynicism, advice, or judgement. (We can all get those things on the rest of the Internet).
We all have knowledge to share. Your knowledge and experiences are valuable, even if you are in Year 7, Year 11 or an old fogey!
Share generously. Your knowledge and experiences may be exactly what another member needs to hear today to solve a problem or challenge themselves. Some of the best help comes from students helping each other.
Be constructive. We are here to push each other forward and lift each other up. Find ways to help each other think bigger, reframe challenges, and stay curious.
Don’t spam, promote, or troll. This learning platform and community exist to help you learn. It’s not a place to spam, promote yourself, or bully anyone else.
Hopefully, these should be easy agreements. If you think you’ll be unable to abide by these guidelines, let me know and I’m happy to remove you.
We're pretty excited about what we are creating here together in this community. If there’s anything you’d like to see or if you have questions, message me at any time.
Thank you
