EPQ
A Masterclass
The EPQ is an amazing qualification that is very attractive to universities and also a great boost to what you have to write about in your UCAS personal statement.
However, being an extended project it requires planning and management skills that most students have never used before, as well as skills like referencing which are also unfamiliar.
That's why Helen Chaplain, who has ten years experience as an EPQ supervisor and was part of the senior EPQ team writing, delivering and moderating the EPQ qualifications in two different schools, is giving an EPQ Masterclass in The Extraordinaries Club on 6th January 2021.
The masterclass will cover:
When you sign-up you will also get....
a minimum of 31 days access to
The Extraordinaires Club is an online hub containing my signature study skills course that will help your child to achieve their grades in the best way for them. It gives you on demand access to a library of workshops and downloads that cover everything you need to study successfully and you will get personalised advice from me through weekly coaching calls and an online forum.
It works because your child develops a personalised study system tailored to the way they work, what motivates them and their ambitions.
And you no longer have to stress, nag or worry.

The masterclass will be taking place live on Wednesday 6th January 2021 from 6-7 pm. You can join us live or watch the recording at your convenience.

About Helen Chaplain

Helen left her role as Head of More Able and Talented and Oxbridge Co-ordinator at a leading North West school in July 2020 to join the Extraordinaries’ Club. She has ten years' experience as an EPQ supervisor and as part of the senior EPQ team writing, delivering and moderating the EPQ qualification in the two schools where she worked. She has also been heavily involved with helping students prepare their UCAS applications across the curriculum since 2010.

Helen Chaplain is a superbly gifted English teacher. Despite her obvious intellectual credentials, she was just as comfortable supporting a small group of GCSE students struggling their way towards a grade 4 or 5 as she was stretching the most able A-Level students. She was extremely popular with students and parents alike throughout her time at The Grange School. I would have no hesitation in recommending Helen’s help in supporting any student at any stage of the educational process for English: I know that she will provide expert and professional support that will inspire, motivate and build confidence, skills and subject attainment.

Helen taught me through GCSE and A level, while also helping me to apply to Oxford to read English Language and Literature. Helen asks astute questions which guide you towards new ways of thinking around problems. Her levelheaded assurance is matched with a realistic perspective: she clearly outlines what you need to do, with an intuitive understanding of how she can work with you to do it. These qualities are unfailingly supported by encouragement and confidence, which demonstrate her care for both her students’ abilities and their wellbeing. Now that I’m approaching the end of my course at Oxford, I often reflect on how Helen’s tutelage was instrumental in improving my academic ability and, crucially, in helping me to enjoy the work that I do.

During my experience as a Sixth Form student, Helen provided me with a strong balance of both academic and pastoral support. Her ability to engage with my personal goals was astute, and a style of teaching tailored individually to me ensured I could achieve my ambitions. Alongside my study of A-Level English Literature, Helen helped me to develop my own style of critical writing, whilst also pushing my ability to think laterally. Both of these skills have proved invaluable, not only in public examinations but also as I continue to pursue my study of English within Higher Education.

Being a member of 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.

The Extraordinaries Club is a great way to get more in-depth, personalised help in the form of workshops, coaching calls, chat forums and specific topics. 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!”

Working with Lucy I learned to manage my time, stay focused and prioritise. Lucy helped me not only to get the most of academic life, but to improve my leisture time too. I learned how to keep calm and be completely in control of my workload all year round. I will use the techniques she taught me far into the future, and some well beyond the classroom.

Have questions? The answer might be here...
Is this masterclass for parents and students?
This masterclass is primarily for students, as they're the ones who need this information to improve their EPQ. However, if parents want to join for moral support you're very welcome.
If I sign up for the masterclass will I be signing up for a recurring subscription to The Extraordinaries Club?
Only if you sign-up for a monthly recurring subscription (£64). If you sign-up for the 1 month limited membership (£75) you will only make one payment and your access will expire after 31 days. However, if you like the club and choose to upgrade to ongoing membership you can do that on your account page. If you choose not to, then your access to the club will expire after 1 month of membership. During your month of membership you will have all the same benefits as members on recurring subscriptions e.g. the ability to set up five sub-accounts for members of your family, participation in the live coaching calls and access to all the other resources and masterclasses on other subjects inside.
Can I sign-up for The Extraordinaries Club directly?
Yes! You'd be welcome to. This way you'll get access to all the other workshops I'm running through the year and you won't have to worry about signing up, as well as all the modules teaching study skills inside the club. Up to five members of your family can have their own log-ins to the club for one monthly membership fee. Click here to join The Extraordinaries Club on a recurring subscription.
