Strata courses

Our courses can be taught face to face or online. Ideally they are best taught in small groups of no more than 6-8 students, however each course can be tailored to be taught to an individual. Within the courses there are numerous opportunities to develop practical skills and working on individual or group-based tasks. The current schedule is published on the events section of the website and is subject to change depending on demand. It is always possible for small groups to block out the time with specific requests.

TOP UNIVERSITY

GET AHEAD

DYNAMIC EARTH

The 'Top University' course is open to students on an individual basis and can be conducted online or in person. Normally a period of 5 weeks is set aside, with no limit on length of time or number of meetings required. Every student deserves individual focus and full support to make sure they not only are well prepared, but also make the correct decisions when choosing Colleges and Universities.

The Strata team can support applications to all the leading global institutions.

The 'Get Ahead' course is aimed at students who wish to reach of the top of their class in their current school or build their confidence before commencing study overseas. It aims to do this through developing a range of academic skills and introduced to different styles of teaching.

The course is taught through specific enrichment topics, including that of STEM and Humanities as well as developing English skills. It also introduces students to the concept of study skills to prepare for the demands of independent learning. Group sizes are limited to 8, enabling students to receive tutoring on an individual basis through group tasks, practical work and specific exam techniques will be introduced.

'The Dynamic Earth' enrichment course aims to enable students to become more conscious of the environment and the challenges that we face in the 21st century. The modules cover a range of topics from ‘Water’ to ‘Green engineering’.

There is a strong emphasis on developing synoptic skills which enhance interview performance, enable students to get a head start for commencing studies overseas and support those simply aiming to reach the top of the class in their current school.

The course is also suitable for those who are currently studying overseas to boost their knowledge and skills complementing what is being taught in the GCSE Science, Geography and Geology curricular.
