“MyEdSpace gave me confidence and helped me achieve grades I didn’t think I could get”
Morayooluwa Fayinka’s MyEdSpace story
Morayooluwa Fayinka joined MyEdSpace at a critical point in her education, Year 11 - GCSE exam year.
Like many GCSE students, she wanted strong results but wasn’t sure where to start, or how to revise effectively once she got started. So, Morayooluwa signed up for a GCSE revision course at MyEdSpace.
The course gave Morayooluwa something she hadn’t had before: a clear structure and strategy for revision. As someone who admits she previously struggled to stay motivated with studying, the lessons helped her organise her approach to revision and set realistic goals. That in turn helped bring any anxiety or stress about the exams down.
“It was really useful. It made me feel a lot less stressed,” she remembers. Adding, “I tried revising but I wasn’t doing it correctly and felt stuck and behind. The course helped me align everything. I wanted the best grades possible and it gave me a plan.”
With a busy social life to also find time for, Morayooluwa was grateful for the flexibility that being able to watch recordings of the live lessons on-demand gave her. Unlike a private tutoring session that was gone as soon as it was finished, with MyEdSpace Morayooluwa could revisit tricky topics and learn at her own pace.
To her surprise, she found herself looking forward to studying. “The teachers are amazing. They make lessons interesting and I was eager to join the next lesson. It completely changed my mindset about revision,” she smiles.
Armed with a plan and a new motivation to learn, soon Morayooluwa began to see the fruits of her labours. “Everyone else seemed confused, but I understood what was going on,” she begins. “I was raising my hand, answering questions, and my teacher was so surprised. Before, I would never have had the confidence to do that. MyEdSpace has taken away my fear. I know I have support and resources to rely on.”
That new found confidence translated into exam results, where Morayooluwa was able to improve her Science grade by two points from a grade 5 to a grade 7. She also levelled up her English grades and started consistently scoring grade 6. “It’s put me in such a better position,” she beams.
For people considering signing up for a revision course this Easter, Morayooluwa has one piece of simple advice, “don’t worry.” Adding, ‘you’re in great hands and you’ll see the results. Your mindset about school changes entirely. It’s magical.”
