“How to Study the TAR Way” is a comprehensive study skills guide designed to help students develop effective revision strategies, boost concentration, improve memory, and achieve high exam grades—not just scrape a pass. This resource provides a clear system students can apply to GCSE, A-Level, and KS3 learning, offering practical methods for active recall, exam technique, time management, note-taking, and independent learning. The TAR Method of studying, an innovative approach conceptualized during my school years, is designed to elevate the learning experience by fostering deep understanding and mastery of the subject matter. TAR stands for Teach, Assess, and Review, forming a robust cycle that propels continuous improvement and academic excellence Packed with step-by-step strategies, and proven study methods, this guide teaches students how to structure their study sessions, retain information for longer, and build the confidence needed for exam success. It is ideal for use in study skills lessons, revision workshops, tutor time, or as a self-study handbook for students who need support with organisation, motivation, and exam preparation. Whether used by teachers, tutors, or parents, this guide equips learners with the tools to study smarter, work independently, and consistently achieve top grades.

This resource covers A-level Maths topic: Series and Sequences. The notes compiled here in a (pdf format) are well written, concise and ease to understand, derived from years of teaching. It is specific to the three examboards: Edexcel, AQA and OCR. It can be used specifically for the Edexcel specification to aid in your revision of your Maths curriculum. It is recommended that to get the best out of this resource you study the notes alongside practicing questions to consolidate your understanding effectively. . In the notes, the following subtopics are included for clarity and understanding: Definitions of series and sequences Types of sequences Meaning of each sequence and the proof of the formulas Series of questions (easy and hard) Instragram: @paivalearning Tiktok: @paivalearning

Functions define how one quantity (the input) relates to another quantity (the output), providing a systematic framework for analyzing and predicting behaviour. Whether it’s modeling growth rates in population, predicting future trends in finance, or understanding the trajectory of a projectile, functions offer a powerful toolset for making sense of the world around us. The GCSE functions curriculum covers a range of essential topics, including linear functions, quadratic functions, exponential functions, and more. Through hands-on practice and problem-solving exercises, students develop fluency in manipulating functions algebraically, honing their analytical skills along the way. Practicing questions is crucial to mastering the concepts of functions. By engaging in a variety of problem-solving tasks, students deepen their understanding of function notation, function composition, inverse functions, and the interplay between different function types.

GCSE Chemistry: Atomic Structure is a comprehensive resource tailored for students from Year 9 to Year 11, covering essential topics such as chemical symbols, balancing equations, the development of the atom, and methods for separating mixtures. It is designed to align with the specifications of the Edexcel, AQA, and OCR exam boards, ensuring that students are fully prepared for exams and tests. This all-encompassing guide presents the fundamental concepts of atomic structure in a clear and accessible manner. From the basic structure of the atom — including protons, neutrons, and electrons — to more advanced ideas like isotopes and electron configurations, it provides detailed explanations that help build a solid foundation in chemistry. The resource also explains historical models of the atom, such as Dalton’s atomic theory, Thomson’s plum pudding model, and Rutherford’s gold foil experiment, guiding students through the evolving understanding of atomic theory. Practical topics like balancing chemical equations, recognizing and writing chemical symbols, and formulae are explained step-by-step to help students develop key skills. Additionally, the resource dives into methods of separating mixtures, including filtration, distillation, and chromatography. Students can apply the knowledge gained to solve questions on relative atomic mass, understand periodic trends, and explore chemical reactions in depth. This structured approach enables students to gradually build confidence, not only for tackling exam questions but also for deepening their overall understanding of chemistry. Supporting materials such as revision videos, insights, and exam-style questions further enrich the learning experience, making this resource an indispensable tool for GCSE Chemistry success.
