Short Study Plan · One subject

A practical 2 to 4 week plan for one IGCSE subject

For students who can work independently but keep losing time deciding what to revise. The plan uses the correct syllabus, recent work, exam date and genuine weekly availability to put tasks in a workable order.

When this service is worth buying

The student does not need another folder of resources. They need a realistic order for the work already in front of them.

Revision feels scattered

The student moves between topics, videos and papers without finishing a useful sequence.

A mock has exposed priorities

Recent answers or school feedback already show which areas deserve the next few weeks.

Study time is limited

School, activities and several subjects compete for time, so the plan must fit hours the student can actually use.

Independent work is realistic

The student will complete tasks without a live tutor checking every week.

What the written plan contains

The final plan is specific to the agreed subject. It is concise enough to use during the week, with enough detail for a parent to understand the workload.

PartWhat appears in the planWhy it matters
Starting positionExam board or syllabus, exam date, recent evidence and the main constraint on progress.Prevents the timetable being built for the wrong paper or an unrealistic deadline.
Priority orderThe topics, question types or writing habits to address first.Keeps lower-value work from taking time away from urgent weaknesses.
Weekly tasksSpecific reading, worked examples, topic questions, timed sections or writing practice, depending on the subject.Turns “revise Maths” or “work on English” into work the student can finish.
Review pointsShort checks for completed work, recurring errors and whether the next week needs adjusting.Stops the student repeating the same mistake for the full period.
End decisionWhat evidence to review after the plan and whether self-study, marking, a focused lesson or guided study is justified.Leaves the family with a defined decision rather than an automatic upgrade.

Send material that shows the real workload

Four useful items are better than a large upload with no explanation.

Course route

Exam board, syllabus or specification, paper route and exam session if known.

Recent evidence

A mock, topic test, writing sample, marked homework or specific school feedback.

Available time

The hours and days the student can normally study after school and at weekends.

Current materials

Textbook, school resources, official papers or revision tools the student already uses.

If the evidence is too limited: we may ask for a recent work sample or recommend a £35 Diagnostic Review instead of accepting payment for a plan that would be too general.

What a four-week structure might look like

This is an illustration, not a standard template. The actual order depends on the subject, paper route and work submitted.

WeekPossible focusEvidence at the end
Week 1Repair the highest-priority topic or answer habit using a small set of focused questions.Corrected work and a short error list.
Week 2Apply the same skill in mixed or exam-style questions rather than repeating familiar examples.A timed section, writing response or topic check.
Week 3Move to the second priority while keeping one retrieval task from Week 1.Comparison of new work with the starting evidence.
Week 4Complete an agreed checkpoint and decide what still needs teaching, marking or independent practice.A paper section, writing sample or marked topic set for review.

Choose the service that matches the job

These services are not interchangeable. The difference is whether the family needs diagnosis, a one-off timetable, regular accountability or live teaching.

ServicePriceUse it whenNot included
Diagnostic Review£35Recent evidence exists, but the academic problem is not yet specific enough for a plan or lessons.A full paper report, live lesson or ongoing plan.
Short Study Plan£59The issue is reasonably clear and the student needs a one-subject 2 to 4 week order.Weekly tracking, live teaching or ongoing marking.
Weekly Study Check-inFrom £179 for 4 weeksThe student can self-study but needs weekly tasks, checkpoints and parent-visible updates.Daily teaching, full online school or unlimited marking.
One-to-One TutoringFrom £45 per 55 minutesThe student needs concepts explained, methods demonstrated and practice reviewed live.Unlimited work outside the agreed lesson or package scope.
Service boundary: the Short Study Plan does not guarantee a grade or guarantee that every task will be completed. It does not include official exam entry, full textbook provision, weekly supervision, live lessons or unlimited marking.

Order a one-subject Short Study Plan

Send the subject, exam route, exam date, recent work and weekly availability. We confirm that the material is sufficient and that the one-off plan fits before requesting payment.

Before ordering

Questions parents ask about the Short Study Plan

The service is deliberately narrow: one subject and a practical 2 to 4 week plan. These answers explain where it ends and when another service is more appropriate.

Is the Short Study Plan for one subject or several?

The standard service covers one subject. If several subjects compete for time, send the full situation first so the academic scope and price can be confirmed before payment.

What do we need to provide?

Send the exam board or syllabus if known, exam date, recent work or school feedback, weak topics, current materials and the number of hours the student can genuinely study each week.

Does the plan include lessons or weekly check-ins?

No. It is a one-off written plan. Live teaching, weekly accountability, parent summaries and additional marking are separate services.

Can a plan be prepared without recent work?

A broad timetable is possible, but it may not be academically specific enough. We may ask for a recent paper, writing sample, topic test or diagnostic review before accepting payment.

What happens if the student needs more help after the plan?

The family can continue independently, request mock marking, book a focused lesson or move to guided study. No upgrade is automatic.
