Are you worried an examiner will not be able to read your child’s work and it will cost them valuable grades?
Then you need our:
Exam Ready Handwriting
with Sheilagh Blyth MSc OT
Have a personalised handwriting lesson. Helping your child get the grades they deserve.
How will you and your child feel if their grades are not what was expected?
Although exams are primarily handwritten they are all marked by an examiner online. For this reason, handwriting legibility has to be greater than ever before. An examiner can only zoom in and out on a computer screen to check your child’s work – if they have the time to do so. Having a letter such as an ‘a’ or an ‘o’ misread can be the difference between an examiner reading sucrose and sucrase.
Are you ready to help your child avoid common subject specific handwriting errors?
Let us take that worry away from you and your child by:
How are we going to do that?
Worried a power hour & our resource library will not be enough support?
Fear not, we can help. After our power hour lesson together we will tell you if a more personalised 1 to 1 support is best. All you would need to do is to buy one or more of our refresher lessons so that we can continue to work together. Whatever your child needs we’re happy to help them master the ability to write clearly in their exams.
"We're well on our way to getting him exam-ready"
Our ‘Power Hour’ one-to-one session with Sheilagh was incredibly valuable. With my son’s GCSEs soon approaching, we were a little nervous about improving his handwriting in time but now, thanks to some handy tips from Sheilagh and the brilliant online resources, we’re well on our way to getting him exam-ready.
(Claire, Mum of Daniel, age 15)

- wish to know what an exam marker needs from their handwriting for it to be readable.
- wants access to past papers for every subject in one place.
- seeks to understand the command words exam boards use when phrasing a question.
