The One Thing Most Students Never Do — But Should...

You’ve made notes. You’ve highlighted your textbook. You’ve even done a few past papers.

But ask yourself this:

👉 When was the last time you revised by teaching someone else?

Here’s the truth: 📚 Teaching is one of the most powerful ways to learn. When you teach, you’re forced to organise your thoughts, simplify complex ideas, and expose the gaps in your knowledge.

If you can explain a concept to a complete beginner, then you have truly understood.

You don’t need a classroom. Grab a friend. Explain a topic out loud. Or even teach your wall if you have to 👀

Bonus tip: Record yourself. Listen back. If it doesn’t sound clear — it isn’t.

This is the kind of technique top students use without even realising it.It’s also the kind of mindset we build here at 1-2-1 Tutors UK: not just learning for exams, but learning to understand.
