Mindset Lab

This is something I hear from parents a lot! So I made a couple of short videos to help.

Yup, I know this is going to sound ironic but…

“I struggle with motivation” is a quote I hear from teens probably more than any other.

So how is a quote that says ‘I will beats IQ’ relevant if most teens are telling you there isn’t much ‘will’ knocking about?

It’s relevant because it’s true.

The first step to getting better exam results starts with the motivation to try.

We need to re-engage your son or daughter in their education.

Your teen needs to be able to answer these questions (genuinely and for themselves!). Why should I bother? Why should I pay attention in class? Why should I try when exams are months, if not years away?

I do this by asking students what their goals are by subject and by grade - not their parent’s or teacher’s goal but what do they want to achieve? Where do they want to go after GCSEs or A-levels? We try and project them into the future – just a little bit.

And after 5 years of helping teens improve their grades, I can honestly say that there is not one student I have ever worked with, who doesn’t want to improve their results.

Everyone wants to get better.

They might not feel motivated in that moment, they might not feel confident that they can do it and they might not have a plan for how to do it, but all of these things can be learned.

If you’d like to learn more about how to support your teen do this, I’d love you to join me on my free live workshop on Wednesday 16 October where I will share my exact system for how I help GCSE & A-Level students to improve their results by 1-3 grades across all subjects without stress, nagging or tutoring.
