Improving student performance at over 1000 schools through high impact study skills workshops
"Excellent. My confidence in exams has improved so much! This has been of real benefit to me and I know this will be the difference in grade boundaries."
Bespoke programmes for your school
The traditional study skills day is dead! Half day lectures of content stretch attention spans and bore students. Instead, Elevate runs 60-75 minute study skills workshops spaced strategically across the year, meaning students are exposed to the skills in a high-impact way at the time they need to be using them!

Young presenters students can relate to
If the message isn’t getting through, change the messenger! All of Elevate’s presenters are young, top graduates and can relate to the challenges and pressures of being at school. By drawing on their own experience and speaking the students’ language, they lend the skills an unmatchable immediacy.

Post Seminar Resources
Most study skills workshops are like a sugar hit: great in the short-term but with no lasting impact. The reality is that study skills, like any other life skill, are built through repetition and review. So Elevate provides schools and subject teachers with a range of resources and guidance to integrate the skills into the classroom, ensuring that students are still benefiting from the workshops months later.

Digital Resources
Every student can connect with Elevate’s online learning community, where they can access a range of subject and skills-based resources that they will actually use! This includes practice questions, exam walk-through videos, study and subject tips from former top students, exam preparation courses and more.

Parent & Staff Training
Our presenters connect with parents and staff alike as they go inside the minds of students, and discuss the skills that have been covered in the student workshops, and tips for supporting them at home. Staff seminars focus on global best practice for reinforcing each skill in the classroom, based on our work with 2000+ schools worldwide.

Accountable, Researched, Measurable
Make sure you actually get results and return on investment! Elevate uses a system called Results Tracker to measure the level of behavioural change achieved by each programme. This data is compiled into an OFSTED-friendly report that clearly documents the degree to which students have adopted and used each skill from the seminar, so that you can ensure you are getting value for time and money.

"The presenter, James, engaged with the students straight away and, without hesitation, all feedback from the pupils has been overwhelmingly positive... Pupils are now asking when "Elevate" are coming back, and we are organising Parent sessions to enhance the knowledge base. I would highly recommend their programme of interaction and support."
