Mocks are on the horizon - trying to help DC with revision. We have a long car journey over half term and I thought I’d download some YouTube videos for dc to watch (yes I am that parent). Can anyone recommend some? Science and English - poetry would be amazing.

This a hundred times.

Show quote history

But possibly soon to be No to both, for a certain proportion of year 11, unless they watch on mum / dad / sibling / older classmates device...? Or would GCSE level content videos have to move to YouTube Kids, assuming that that platform would escape the under 16 ban?

Another vote for myfreescience lesson, also like cognito science

They aren't the best, but Primrose Kitten for Science is worth a go as she does whole exam paper revision videos that are usually no more than 30 to 45 mins long.

My daughter loves the free science lessons. I think k they are 5 minutes a time and cover a specific thing each.

Mr Salles on YouTube for English. My daughter worked really hard using his videos and went from a 3 to a 7 in English Lit in 10 weeks. Really recommend.
