Parent perspective - Forming good habits in the absence of drive

This season of The Study Sessions will focus on the real experiences of parents, students and teachers. In this first episode, Nathan McGurl - founder of The Study Buddy - gets the ball rolling by talking about his daughter, Emily. Approaching her GCSEs in 2022, Emily has always been a conscientious student but lacks the drive to really push herself. Nathan shares some of the tactics and approaches to encourage his teen daughter to get into good habits while being careful not to create undue pressure.

The Study Buddy helps GCSE and A Level students and parents to manage their time in the approach to exams. However, these episodes will cover a variety of topics and ideas based on the experience and the wisdom of our previous seasons' guests.
