    3 Key Systems That Create Calm Confidence

    09/03/2026 | 15 mins.
    What does baking have to do with your teen's study?
    These words:
    “I’m calm. I’m in the zone. I know how to do this.”
    How can we make those the words in your teen's mind when they're queuing up outside the exam hall, given a new analytical essay, or faced with a 2000 word open assignment task?
    By installing these 3 key systems in their brain and study toolkit:
    - Exam Technique
    - Essays and Extended Responses
    - Strategic Study Systems
    and building them in the order that makes most sense for each student personally given where they're at, what they're going to be working on next and their longer term goals.

    Tips for a Successful Transition to Uni

    ___
    I often have parents and students feed back to me that the skills they pick up from my trainings and programs are also super-helpful in uni, but not having teaching experience at that level, I tend to avoid getting too much into any university study advice!
    But... I also know that a lot of hardworking students go on to university study.
    So, when Dr Hilary Coleman emailed me, a former school teacher turned senior uni lecturer who now helps students and their parents successfully navigate the transition to university, I figured that having her perspective could be really valuable to link these things together. 
    So, if your teen has recently started uni, or is planning on or considering uni after high school or college, and you’d love to make the transition as smooth as possible and set your teen up for their best possible academic success at uni, then this episode is for you.

    ___
    Most students don’t lose marks because they lack knowledge.
    They lose marks because they don’t show enough depth.
    They’re told to “add more detail”…
     So they write more. Repeat more. Ramble more.
    And still miss the top marks.
    This episode shares why that's happening and what to do about it, so your teen can figure out not just WHAT detail to add but HOW to add the RIGHT detail, in the right way.
