Upcoming GCSE and A-Level Exam Revision Webinars!

by

Hi everyone,

I trust you all had a restful and fun Easter holiday.

It’s that time of year again for students in year 11 and year 13 – the lead up to the final exams!

For those of you revising for GCSE’s, it’s even more important than ever before to prepare effectively for exams since 100% of your final grade is dependent on your performance in these exams.

Following the success of the YouTbe revision webinars I did last year (for last year’s GCSE and A-Level students), I’ve now scheduled 16 upcoming live revision webinars!

These will cover the full course content for AQA GCSE Physics (8 Webinars) and AQA A-Level Biology (8 Webinars), and allow you to cover everything in your course prior to the final exams in May/June.

There are only 100 seats available at each of these webinars, and most of these are reserved for members who are students at Acland Burghley School and the LaSWAP consortium of schools (who do not need to book tickets), so please book ASAP to avoid disappointment!  (Please note that the YouTube livestreams of these events are free but non-interactive, and do not provide the revison and study materials for the sessions)

Details of these upcoming webinars are below, but can also now be found on our Online Lessons Timetable (where you can see the dates and times for these webinars and book tickets, etc.)

GCSE Physics Revision Webinars

This is a series of 8 webinars designed to cover/revise the full content of GCSE Physics in time for the upcoming 2018 final exams!

These revision webinars are most suitable for students studying AQA (new spec) 9-1 Physics with upcoming final exams in May/June 2018 (but suitable for all spec’s/exam boards)

Each webinar will be from two to three hours long (depending on student questions and interactions, time taken for students to complete interactive exercises duing webinar, depth/breadth of discussion, etc.), and is designed to cover the entire content of the GCSE specification on specific topics while allowing students to ask questions, solve problems, and take part in interactive exercises.

 

The series of webinars is listed below (please click the links for dates/times and topics covered):

  1. Energy
  2. Electricity
  3. Kinetic Theory
  4. Atomic Structure
  5. Forces & Motion
  6. Waves
  7. Magnetism & Electromagnetism
  8. Astrophysics & Cosmology

Students who book tickets and register will be able to specify questions to be covered ahead of these sessions, and will also be given a study/revision pack of resources for each webinar they attend via the Zoom application, which include lesson slides, notes, exam questions and mark schemes for example, to aid students in their revision and study.

A-Level (AS and A2) Biology Revision Webinars

This is a series of 8 revision webinars designed to cover/revise the full content of AQA Advanced Level Biology in time for the upcoming 2018 final exams!

The series of webinars is listed below (please click the links for dates/times and topics covered):

  1. Biological Molecules
  2. Cell Biology
  3. Energy in Biological Systems
  4. Exchange & Transport
  5. Genetics, Variation & Biodiversity
  6. Control Systems
  7. Genetics, Evolution & Ecology
  8. The Control of Gene Expression

These revision webinars are most suitable for students studying AQA (new spec) AS/A2 Level Biology with upcoming final exams in May/June 2018 (but suitable for all spec’s/exam boards).

Each live online revision lesson will be simultaneously live-streamed to the Invisible College YouTube channel, but the YouTube livestream will not offer any live chat or interactivity – passive viewers on YouTube will also not be given access to the lesson’s revision resources.

Only students who have booked tickets and registered for these revision webinars will be able to participate in a fully interactive manner via the Zoom application (see these instructions for new students on how to download, install and use Zoom, and please read our terms of use, terms and conditions of business, student rules and privacy policy before booking a ticket; by purchasing a ticket you agree to these terms, conditions and policies).

In other news, I’ve also Launched the Invisible College YouTube channel.

I’ll be uploading free lesson videos and also live-streaming some of my lessons to YouTube in the future, so please subscribe and watch that space 😉

I look forward to working with you all soon, all the best to all of you for your revision!

Best wishes,

December Update

by

Hi everyone.

As many of you know, I’ve postponed many of the scheduled live lessons over the last few weeks due to having to attend physiotherapy sessions for a back injury.

However, I’ve been hard at work publishing many new course modules, most of which are for Advanced Level Biology but also many for GCSE physics, biology and chemistry. 

All the interactive course modules now have the lesson PowerPoint slides on the pages for each lesson, for you to use as revision resources.  You can also download the lesson PowerPoints to use offline.

I’ve started to include many homework assignments and interactive quizzes for the lessons in the interactive course modules.

For example, the module on Advanced Level Cell Biology now has interactive quizzes and homework assignments for all its lessons, as well as a challenging 80 minute end-of-course exam!

I’ll be adding more interactive quizzes, homework assignments, and lesson videos to all the published course modules over the the holidays, so by January all the lessons will have lesson videos as well.

Please do leave comments and suggestions, which are always welcome.

I’ll also update the calendar with the upcoming scheduled lessons from the beginning of next term.

Have a wonderful winter break everyone, and please check back for new content as I add to the site over the coming weeks of the holiday season.

Best wishes,

M. Ahmed
