" As someone who is originally not from the UK, I attended Natalie's course on " How to get into the top Russell Group Universities " and was amazed at her knowledge of intricacies of the different colleges, the processes and found her top tips very useful. Highly recommended ! " - Current year 9 parent

 

By taking Natalie’s course, I have learned that, like most things in life, applying for university is a structured, organised and calculated process and if done right definitely adds to your success rate in securing the place you want.

It seems increasingly difficult to navigate the route to university and into the job market. There is a lack of specific advice as to how to best prepare for this along the way. After taking Natalie’s course, I have a much clearer understanding of the process and methods for a successful outcome in the journey to a top university place.

Natalie is an excellent tutor. I was very stressed about having so much of my dissertation to do in such a short period of time, yet with Natalie's help I was able to complete more or less my entire assignment -  very grateful!

I would highly recommend these resources for parents who want to encourage their children and for students from the age of 10 faced with the challenge of sitting papers for academically selective schools, to University students who are either lacking or flagging in motivation; in need of study skills tips and direction.

I particularly liked the resources related to mindset. Growth mindset is such a powerful tool and positive influence in relation to the educational pursuit of all subjects, qualifications and study skills. Moreover, it is an essential life skill!

It is often difficult for students to listen to and take on board the wise words and experience of  those closest to them. It is very reassuring to see that Natalie's advice matches that of parents who are keen to enthuse their children with motivation and confidence in a balanced and positive way. Watching my own son take Natalie's advice was a wonderful way in which to deliver these messages and was far more effectively received than my usual 'mummy droning on' methods. As a teaching professional and special needs consultant, it is so easy to overlook the vital aspects of having a positive mindset as an essential asset in developing educationally. With over 27 years of experience as an educationalist myself, I was still able to glean an enormous number of concepts, ideas and resources.

Natalie has created a platform offering succinct expert advice with a wealth of resources to accompany her videos.

The set up couldn't be easier and, should you choose to pause or stop at any time, it takes you straight back to where you were last time you logged on. This makes it very easy to watch and read at your own pace. I particularly like the size of each section and the fact that I need not work through in any particular order but am able to select those components that are most needed or of greatest interest. The videos are succinct and each component can be watched and read in a really manageable amount of time - with no risk of overloading busy people or short attention spans!

There are fantastically helpful printable documents and worksheets to recap and review each section. These are of great value and my son has plastered his study notice board with them.

Natalie has produced a dynamic and multisensory way of accessing a 1:1 coach in my own home.

Thank you, Natalie.. you are the Edu-Guru!
