Motivating teenagers in exam classes
Motivating teenagers in exam classes
One of the biggest challenges facing anyone teaching teenagers is getting them engaged in their learning. That's particularly true when they're aiming to take an exam at the end of the course. All too often, exam practice classes can feel like hard work, both for teachers and their students. In this webinar, we'll explore ways in which we can motivate our teenage learners to engage more with the material they're studying and to do better in their exams.
