What it covers

This is all about taking mock results and turning them into a calm, useful plan. Topics include:

• how to talk about mock results without adding pressure
• what target grades really mean (and why they’re not a “cap”)
• revision methods that actually work (based on how the brain learns)
• when stress becomes a bigger concern (and what to look for)
• creating a supportive home environment during exam periods

You’ll also get:

• a 30-minute keynote talk
• a live Q&A
• short one-to-one chats with Bauhaus tutors if you want advice

Who’s running it?

The workshop is hosted by Tutu Alaka, CEO of Bauhaus Education, with over 20 years’ experience in education. She’s previously worked in Northampton schools (including Thomas Beckett School) and focuses on practical learning strategies grounded in cognitive science and retrieval practice.

If mock results have kicked off stress or arguments at home, this looks like a genuinely helpful free session — especially if you want specific ways to support your teen without it turning into daily battles.
