My DD is in her first year of A-Levels and is struggling more than she's letting on, I think.
She has spoken to me about it, and has said that she's finding it hard and we have discussed this. Her college offered her, along with many others, a set of three extra classes just before Christmas which she attended.
She is studying Biology, P.E., Chemistry and Psychology.
The fact that she's finding it so difficult is affecting her motivation to revise iyswim. It's so hard that she doesn't want to start revising because she feels like she won't be able to learn it, so she keeps putting it off.
I'll contact the college when she goes back after Christmas, but, in the meantime, I suppose I'm hoping that there might be somebody out there who's DC has found it equally tough, but has then gone on to be successful, and maybe found it easier once they'd got the first term out the way...
Also, don't know if I'm being unreasonable, but am torn between looking into private tuition to help her, and thinking that if she needs private tuition at A-Level, maybe she's chosen the wrong subjects in the first place...???
Any thoughts on this gratefully received.
TIA

Is there anyone else out there whose DC is struggling with A-Levels?
