Welcome to our second-last post in Helping with Homework mini-series. All of the posts in the mini-series can be found on the website here. In previous posts, we discussed the difference between helping younger students with homework and helping older students.

It can be difficult to juggle homework in different subjects and also to revise for exams and class tests. We have 5 simple tips so that you can help your child to cope with study skills. 1....
