DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

Say hello to your child’s unfair advantage:

STOP

ONCE YOU'VE GOT ALL THE ANSWERS

AT YOUR FINGERTIPS, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO...

START

  • Feeling like you’re not doing enough
  • Arguing and nagging
  • Last-minute panics over deadlines 
  • Buying revision guides that they don’t even use, or spending money on tutors to help your teen catch up
  • Feeling on top of it all
  • Encouraging and supporting
  • Planning ahead with confidence
  • Getting them to use the right study techniques, so they can learn things better and faster

... It's parents' evening, which usually ends with an argument in the car on the way home, but this time... every single teacher tells you how pleased they are with your teen's progress.

... You've always had to pry your teen's test results out of them with a crowbar before now, but this time... they can't wait to tell you how well they did.

... Your teen is stressing out after a rough day at school, but this time... you’re prepared with the right tactics to calm them down.

... It's Sunday lunchtime, and your weekly email nudge has just arrived. That means it's time for the weekly talk with your teen about school, but this time... it's an actual (drama-free!) chat. Not a battle. 

  

...Imagine it with me...

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS ALONE

We had lots of support groups available when they were babies and toddlers, right? Why should it be any different when they’re teenagers?! (It’s not any easier!)

(because everything has changed since you were at school)

You're fed up with nagging them all the time

(but it's hard enough to get them to do homework, let alone revision)

You're worried you're going to miss something important

(because they just shrug / grunt when you ask them about school)

SUPPORT & GUIDANCE FROM THE START OF YEAR 10 TO THE END OF YEAR 13

Denise:

“My daughter wasn’t that keen for me to get more involved with her revision, but I felt ‘forearmed is forewarned’ and my gut told me that being able to gently guide her from a distance would be the best way forward and would give her the best opportunity to excel.

The weekly emails were extremely supportive, succinct and full of useful suggestions. I felt the programme brought me up-to-date (things have changed A LOT since the late 1980s, it turns out!)."

Amy:

“When Mum first told me about the programme she had signed up to, I was sceptical at first, as I didn’t want Mum to interfere with my work.  I had already started thinking about my revision and didn’t think I needed any extra help or guidance.

What I have found is that the weekly emails really helped me. 

The ideas for revision, planning and what to focus on for that week were very useful and looking back, I feel I had the best chance to succeed. Thank you.”

FAQs

Isn’t this the school’s job?

Schools generally do a fantastic job of making sure your teenager is taught everything they need to know in order to pass their exams. That said, if your teenager doesn't have the 3 fundamental skills  (Knowing how to learn, prioritising & organising, and exam skills) they won't be able to retain and use what they've been taught. 

None of those things are on the curriculum.

How do I involve my teen?

Up to you - it's best if you can get them to read the email / watch the videos with you each week.  

We're also happy to hop on a Zoom and 'sell' them on why this will make their life easier!

How do I convince my teen this isn't just me 'interfering'...?

When's the best time to join?

It really doesn't matter whether your teen is about to start Y10, or are already in Y13 - NOW is always the best time to start!   

We'll make sure you're supported with the things you need to know about right now, and the sooner you start, the bigger the impact on their grades and their confidence.

We'll make sure you get all the information you need, regardless of when you join us.

Am I tied into this when I sign up?

You can cancel the monthly plan at any time, and we won’t take any more payments.  Simple as that. 

Why shouldn’t I just get a private tutor if I’m worried about my teen’s results?

Private tutors are a great way to improve a specific grade. If it’s just one subject you’re concerned about, then that’s the way to go. 

We however, provide you as a parent with the tools you need to help your teen improve all their grades, by improving their study skills overall. 

We’ll also help you to make this a less stressful year for the whole family, by making your interactions with your teen more support, less ‘nag’.

I have a specific question – how can I get in touch?

One of the greatest things you can do for your teen is show them that things aren’t always easy. Sometimes there’s stuff that’s outside your comfort zone, and you need support to handle it. 

Tell them that you’re worried about this year, and you want to be there for them, but you don’t want them to feel like you’re nagging! 

Tell them you're not sure how it all works, because it’s been a while since you did your exams, and so you’ve signed up for some support! 

It’s ok to be honest (and even a little bit vulnerable).

SET YOUR CHILD UP FOR SUCCESS

We're Paul & Emily Hughes.

As teachers, we thought we knew everything about GCSEs and A-levels. Then our own kids started theirs... 

Turns out, it's very different as a parent...

That's why, in 2019, we took what we'd learned from our years in the classroom, and created the ParentGuide.

We combined our 30+ years of experience as teachers with what we learned along the way with our children, to create a system that has now helped thousands of parents support their teens through the exam years.

Emily has a Masters from Cambridge University in Mathematics with Education. and held the position of Head of Maths. 

She published the 'GCSE Survival Guide for Parents' in 2020, and is regularly called on by the media as an expert in education.

Paul has a Masters in Information Management and Computing from University of Sheffield, and a degree in Geography from Coventry University.

With 16 years as a 6th form tutor, and 15 of those as Lead UCAS tutor for his school, he's an expert in the university application process.

Smart Start Call

Smart Start Challenge

Over 5 days, you’ll talk with your child about their skills, what they LOVE doing, and help them figure out what lights them up (and how they can get someone to pay them to do that forever!)

They’ll end up with a set of 5 goals that they’ve chosen for themselves, that are awesome enough that it should make a huge difference to their motivation.

You’ll also be building up a habit of positive conversations with your child about school – no eye rolling, no grunts or shrugs, actual chats.
