Preparing for your GCSEs feels much easier when you use different learning styles so your brain stays engaged and you remember things for longer. At Redfern you learn through four key approaches and you can use them in your own revision too.

Reading Reading helps you build knowledge, understand ideas and remember important details. Try studying in short sessions so your mind stays fresh. Break big topics into small chunks and highlight only the key points. Writing notes in your own words makes everything stick much better.

Active listening means paying full attention to what you hear instead of letting information drift past you. When your teacher speaks or when you listen to a lesson, focus on the meaning behind the words. Ask yourself why this matters and how it connects to what you already know. Jot down notes while listening or right after so the ideas stay in your memory.

Videos give you sound, visuals and movement all at once which makes learning feel more fun and less stressful. Pause the video when something important appears and write a quick reminder so you can review it later. Rewatching a short clip is a great way to revise without feeling bored.

Using all four of these study methods helps you understand topics from different angles and strengthens your memory. Redfern teaches through reading, active listening, images and videos so every lesson feels clear, engaging and easy to remember. Switching between these four styles during revision keeps you focused and confident as you work toward your GCSE exams.

Try each method by studying the same topic through reading, listening, images and videos. Notice which one feels the clearest and which one you remember the next day. Think about what comes naturally to you in daily life because this usually shows your preferred style. Most people use a mix so choose the combination that helps information stay in your mind.
