GCSE & A Level Intensive Revision Courses

Excel in Key Subjects' unique intensive Christmas Revision programme focuses on reinforcing students' understanding in the material they have covered since the start of the Autumn Term.

In addition to ensuring they have a good grasp of the fundamental concepts, it also diagnoses their understanding by getting them to practise with past exam questions.

We cover the following subjects at both GCSE and A-level:

• • Mathematics

• • Further Mathematics

• • Physics

• • Chemistry

• • Biology

• • English

• • Psychology (A-level only)

The GCSE Christmas Revision Course  is good for both Combined and Triple Science students. The student can choose one, two or all the three science subjects. Each of

Physics, Chemistry and Biology counts as one subject.

 

Main Benefits of the Christmas Intensive Revision

Dates blocks from : 19^th  to 30^th December (excluding 24th to 27th December) – two-day and three-day blocks – with flexibility

The in-person courses will take place at the British Library in London St Pancras.

Our Online GCSE Christmas Revision course are very effective, and can be just as effective as the in-person courses. Some of the features that make that possible are:

We insist on live teaching on video, with a requirement that both students and teachers turn on their video cameras throughout the lesson

 Students are expected to do handwritten work, as opposed to typing everything. This reflects the way real exams are still conducted.

Questions are set for the student and the teacher provides feedback

A series of 2-Day (GCSE/IGCSE) and 3-Day (A-level) blocks between 19^th  and 30^th December 2026 (excluding 24th to 27th December). Flexibility in booking as plenty of one-to-one blocks are still available for the Christmas GCSE  Revision courses. 

We have helped over 80% of our A-level students to improve their grades. With over 95% of our GCSE students achieving grades A* to C, we can't be doing too badly!

"In the run-up to my exams I was given probably the best revision help I have ever received, and so was able to get through my exams with the minimal amount of stress. When I heard that I had achieved my A-grade in English A-level I felt that the congratulations should really
go to Excel in Key Subjects for their ongoing support and excellent teaching." M F (Student who studied A2 English Literature)
