At UniHawk, our instructors will provide you with a wide array of resources alongside continual guidance. Here’s a sneak peak for you:

• Comprehensive Study Material: Our focus is ensuring mastery of concepts and not memorization. Our study materials bundle is simple to go over after class, yet concomitantly entails all essential knowledge needed for the subject.
• Organised Study Schedule: Students require individualised guidance, with constant motivation, clear expectations and deadlines to reach their maximum potential in a subject. Our instructors do so by directing them through personalised study roadmaps, and by fostering accountability and discipline in students through regular engagement and practice.
• Practice with past papers and mock exams: While students do fall behind in their grade due to gaps in knowledge of concepts, very commonly it’s also due to negligence of the following:
  • Problem-solving skills
  • Analytical skills
  • Time management skills
  • Anxiety management

To develop these skills, students require guided practice. Here, a common way is working with past papers. It benefits them immensely when they receive expert insight and strategies while doing past papers.

• Regular review and student evaluation: Helps make students ready for the Exam day. Regular review and evaluation reduces overall stress and boosts confidence. Students thus feel ready than ever to tackle the exam!
