Does any of this sound familiar?

Your child:

  • Works hard but doesn't get results that reflect their efforts leaving them demoralised and upset
  • Lacks focus and direction wasting crucial time
  • Feels stressed and overwhelmed and can't seem to get on top of their work, no matter what you suggest
  • Doesn't know how to organise themselves so they're always missing deadlines or losing important notes
  • Isn't getting the grades you know, in your heart, they're capable of
  • Just needs to learn how to revise effectively

You:

  • Lie awake at night stressing about your child's future if these exams don't work out
  • Dread asking them how their revision is going because it always ends in a screaming argument
  • Are tired to your bones of your life being a constant state of crisis management
  • Want family life to stop being dominated by exam stress
  • Depressed that your relationship with your teen is being ruined by all this talk of exams

On top of all this, your child's school hasn't taught them to revise so they don't have the skills to help themselves.

Introducing The Extraordinaries Club

Join The Extraordinaries Club so that your child can learn the study skills, habits and mindset to reach their full academic potential, and stay happy in the process.

Oh, and you can stop nagging and stressing about their future.

The Extraordinaries Club is an online community and on demand classroom for families in the exam years. It’s like personal development for teens and their parents: you build resilience, study skills and life skills to exceed expectations this school year and beyond.

Who's behind The Extraordinaries Club?

Lucy Parsons, founder of The Extraordinaries Club, is an academic coach, qualified teacher and author of The Ten Step Guide to Acing Every Exam You Ever Take.

When Lucy was at school she had a dream to study at Cambridge University. But, she went to ordinary comprehensive schools. Between year 11 and 13 she worked out a system to get the top grades, earned five As at A-Level and her place at Cambridge.

The study skills system you will learn in The Extraordinaries Club is based on the one Lucy developed at school. Working with clients since 2015 Lucy has refined this system to address all the struggles that families face during the GCSE and A-Level years.

What our members say about the club

❝

My daughter got a 6 in maths which seemed like a pipe dream when we started on the journey with the club.

CAROLINE HANDLEY

❝

In just 30 minutes my daughter realised what she was doing wrong with her revision.

MOTHER OF YEAR 10

❝

My daughter recently received her school report for last term and she got mostly A’s and A*s - a big improvement on both maths and science results; C’s last time! She tells me it’s all because of you, so thank you ?

Helen Bohanna

❝

The Extraordinaries Club has given my daughter a massive boost in confidence and improved her wellbeing hugely. She is really motivated and is feeling good - a very different place to where she started only three months ago.

Annette benny

❝

We watched the English masterclass the night before his exam - and having been predicted a 6, he only came home with a 9!! We were over the moon!  He says it's because he did everything in the video.

More feedback from our members

My daughter did the GCSE French Masterclass. The hints and tips made her marks move from 7 or 8 out of 16 to 13 or 14 out of 16 in about a week. Now she's been put in for the higher level exam!

Tracy, mum of year 11

My son is now more organised and I don't have to push him into anything - he's so much more focused. 

raza, dad of year 11

My son's GCSE results were four 9s, two 8s and four 7s. I tried a few different study skill tutors without success so when we saw your programme, I thought we'd give it a try as we had nothing to lose. 


We followed your weekly sessions meticulously - it helped focus his mind on what he needed to do to achieve the best grades, organise his files, manage his time and prepare himself for exams... will definitely recommend your programme to friends.

Tracy, mum of year 11

My daughter has a lot more motivation since joining the club. It has opened up a dialogue about school work and studying between us. I feel I am able to support her more and not just nag about homework.

elizabeth, mum of year 13

Every child is encouraged to take the lead in their own life. I highly recommend The Extraordinaries Club.

raphaelle cox, mum of year 11

The Extraordinaries Club equipped us not only with tools to help him, but enabled me to enhance our relationship through the whole process with the communication tips. One of the best investments I've ever made. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

AMANDA, mum of year 8

The Extraordinaries Club is a great way to get more in-depth, personalised help. Both students and parents are supported on how to survive the exam years. Highly recommended if you want to help your child achieve their potential while retaining your sanity!

FAQs

How much time does being a member of the club take?

When you first join the club you should begin by working through the ten Study Skills modules. These take approximately an hour each. If you join the club in September or January we work through the Study Skills modules one per week for ten weeks.

In addition, there are the group coaching calls. These alternate weekly between parents and students. So, it will be students one week and parents the next.

Therefore, to begin with, you need to be able to commit an average of 1.5 hours per week to the club - 1 hour one week, 2 hours the next week.

When are the group coaching calls?

Tuesdays at 7 pm. Parents one week, students the next.

Are the coaching calls compulsory?

No, no aspect of The Extraordinaries Club is compulsory. However, the coaching calls are great for:

- Getting a new burst of motivation

- Improving your mindset

- Feeling you’re not alone in any study related struggles you’re having

- Getting your questions answered

I can’t make the coaching calls, are they recorded?

Yes, they are recorded and posted in the club the following day. We send a link out to members every Saturday in the club weekly email.

How long do I need to be a member for?

It's up to you. Some people just join for a month and get what they need. Others are members for years because they value the on going support.

Three months is a good amount of time to do the ten modules and a few masterclasses.

You can cancel or pause your membership at any time.

Do I have to pay for each member of my family?

No. Your monthly or annual subscription covers up to five members of your household. You pay for your family, not per person.

I want to join but my child won’t engage. What should I do?

The best way to get the most out of the club is to get your child on board.

Check out these resources to help with this:

A message for students about joining The Extraordinaries Club

How to persuade your child that The Extraordinaries Club is right for them

Some parents decide to join the club even if their child won't engage. They watch the videos and pass on snippets of advice to their children at opportune moments.

How can you persuade your parents to join The Extraordinaries Club?

If you're a student who'd like to join you must get your parents' permission first.

This resource will help you to explain to them why you want to join.

How do you access the resources?

When you sign-up for the club you will create a username and password. These will allow you to access The Extraordinaries Club website.

You can also create sub-accounts for up to five members of your family after you have signed up, so they can each have their own access to the club website.

What age students is The Extraordinaries Club aimed at?

The club is aimed at GCSE and A-Level students in years 10-13.

We do have some younger students in years 7-9 who are highly motivated and generally of above average ability. 

When should students join the club?

The sooner your child joins The Extraordinaries Club and learns study skills, the bigger the benefit they will see from having them.

Families who join after Christmas of year 11 or year 13 generally say they wish they had joined sooner - but that this isn't too late.

Does the club help students with learning differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, dyspraxia, ASD or dyscalculia?

Yes, we have had many students with neurodiverse brains join the club and get a huge amount of benefit from it. Sometimes these students need further additional support that the club isn't able to offer e.g. with the mental health challenges that their neurodiversity poses but everyone needs to learn study skills if they are to reach their academic potential.

Can the club help people who aren’t doing GCSEs and A-Levels?

Yes. We have IB students, students in the Scottish, French, Spanish and Irish education systems. Everyone is welcome.

Is The Extraordinaries Club suitable for boarding school students?

The tight schedule of boarding school sometimes makes it difficult to fit in the coaching calls and modules. However, we have had boarding school students make a huge success of club membership. It's important to speak to the school about your membership of the club and how it will fit in with the prep schedule.

What happens when I want to leave The Extraordinaries Club?

You can pause or cancel your membership at any time by logging into the club and visiting your account page. There is no minimum term for your membership.

I have another question that isn't answered here.

Email hello@lifemoreextraordinary.com and we will normally get back to you within 24 hours Monday to Friday.
