Find GCSE Mock Exams Tuition
GCSE mock exams are an essential aspect of preparing for success in students’ final assessments. At NLG, we understand the significance of these mock exams. The exams, usually held in November/December (and sometimes February), serve as valuable indicators of the final grades.
Understanding the Importance of Mock Exams:
Mock exams provide a realistic preview of the challenges students will face in their actual GCSEs. They are not just practice runs; rather, they offer insights into current strengths and areas that require improvement. By taking these assessments seriously, students can identify gaps in their knowledge and tailor their revision strategies accordingly.
Access to School Resources:Â
Schools play a pivotal role in supporting students through their GCSE journey. Most good schools will provide revision materials, and some will even hold revision sessions or workshops for students who may be at risk of falling behind. The curriculum covered in class will be published on their websites and will give a good indication of what students need to know for their final examinations.Â

GCSE Revision Strategies
Creating a good revision environment is essential. Encourage students to create a quiet and dedicated study space, free from distractions. Students will ideally have their own workspace, but if not, any table in a quiet room of the house works just as well. Additionally, developing a structured revision timetable and breaking down subjects into manageable chunks, can make their revision process more effective. Â

Some Popular GCSE Revision Tips
Whichever method works best for you, be constant and don’t cram at the last minute or you’ll be more likely to be stressed out. Whatever you do, make sure you give yourself time to rest and have fun.
Importance of Nutrition
- If allowed, bring a water bottle into your exam. A study involving university students revealed that those with drinks, especially water, during exams performed approximately 5% better than those without.
- Kickstart your day with a generous glass of water or fruit tea. Women should aim for about 1.6 litres of fluid daily, while men should target 2 litres – equivalent to eight to ten 200ml glasses! While water is the ideal choice, other healthy beverages like milk and small amounts of fruit juice count too.
- Research shows that students who have breakfast tend to do better in exams. To optimise your morning meal, include slow-release carbohydrates like porridge oats, whole grain bread, or low-sugar muesli, as they provide sustained energy. Add a protein source such as milk, yoghurt, or eggs to promote lasting fullness.
- Staying hydrated is crucial - even mild dehydration can lead to tiredness, headaches, and reduced alertness.
- Although tea and coffee count towards fluid intake, they are high in caffeine. It's advised to steer clear of sugary fizzy and energy drinks, as they can lead to energy crashes.

Susan Harvey2023-11-21Mihai Niculae-Science Tutor Mihai is very good at explaining terms and processes in all science subjects. He has recently been helping my son to revise for his GCSE mock exams, which has helped him enormously! He also sends him a complete set of comprehensive lesson notes after each lesson, which he finds very helpful.Havovi Box2023-11-07My daughter has been tutored by the National learning group for nearly two years now. I can only describe the dedication and commitment displayed by her tutor, Marisa Liew as sensational, first Class and practically perfect in every way. She is most certainly the Mary Poppins of all tutors !!! The support, kindness and knowledge she has provided my daughter with has been second to none. My daughter is now confident, fearless and even more hard working than she was before she had a tutor. She has always loved learning so , the two of them have garnered a very fruitful teacher / student relationship. When we first joined we were given a tutor that was not working well for my daughter. I notified the admin staff that we wanted to switch to someone who's knowledge and experience could be tailored to my daughters needs, they listened and paired her up with Marisa. This proved to me that The Learing trust actually care about their students education and wellbeing. I can't recommend them enough! The best money I have ever spent. Truly! Go ahead, bookmark your child in with them. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!Steve Brooks2023-11-06I have been using this online tutor company for a few years now for my children & it has been first class. Jacob Whittle (Maths) & Nick Watkinson (English) have gelled nicely with the children & keep a good pace alongside their learning at school so they complement each other very well. My eldest just passed all his GCSEs & would not have done so well without these two tutors. The admin staff are very attentive about finding the right tutor & timeslots that work for us & there’s an automated reminder that I can forward to the kids so they don’t forget their sessions. I’ve used other tutoring companies before but this one is definitely the best we’ve found.Cool Person2023-11-03Mary Francis has made maths so much easier for my daughter she enjoys her maths lessons every week Mary is so kind and gentle and takes her time with poppy would recommend Mary Francis to anyone who needs help with maths we would be lost with out Mary FrancisKeris Ratford2023-11-01My son has been having weekly tutoring sessions with Jeeti for some time now. They are remote, but I always find them to be interactive and an easier environment for my son to ask further questions 1 on 1 rather than a class setting. Weekly, he enjoys these sessions and have seen his confidence grow. Thank so much Jeeti!Noico99 nicki2023-10-31I have been doing my English lessons in last year and my tutor Matthew R was very helpful and I was enjoying every single minute.Cat Ward2023-10-31My daughter loves her twice weekly lessons with Rachael.

Thank youClaire Harris2023-10-27Helpful, reliable, professional and an ability to keep making sessions worthwhile and meaningful - this describes my son's tutor Mihai Niculae. Mihai has made a positive impact on my son's learning over the past year whilst also building up and maintaining a good tutor/student relationship. I cannot recommend him enough.
