Stress-free revision and exams

21 video letters to my grandson, Isaac.

Course Summary

In 2019 Isaac, my grandson, was due to sit his GCSE exams. He didn't find academic work interesting and revision was a different country to him. His approach was not great and he thought he could leave everything to the last few weeks. We talked and he asked if I could "sort it out" for him. This meant guide him on what to do, when to do it and how to do it. I sent him my thoughts and he said "Let's go for it"!

This is the collection of 21 video letters I sent him which deal with the whole process including planning, organisation, dealing with parents, motivation, diet, sleep, how to revise, and what to do in the exam room. I started sending them in October 2018 but he admitted he didn't really get into them until later!  He assured me they were "OK" which in his speak means "Excellent!!"

Exams were cancelled for his Year group but exams will return so this advice is not out of date! He was awarded great grades and is now "enjoying his A Levels" which is not a phrase I ever thought I'd say!

My love of people, my deep curiosity in human behaviour, my desire to help people to become more complete, more balanced, more content, more fulfilled, and closer to who they have the potential to be have been life-long. 

So, it was probably no surprise that I worked for 36 years in secondary education in the UK - which I loved. Much of this time was devoted to providing guidance and support to pupils, staff and parents to try to enable them to see the value in the challenges and difficulties in their lives, to see the bigger picture, to see themselves and others less harshly, and to see the value of less fear.

After retiring early I moved with my wife to beautiful Devon in the summer of 2014 and continue to offer advice to those who come to me in need. 

As a long time meditator I find its value to myself and others huge. I began teaching it years ago (last century actually!) whilst I was still teaching and now teach meditation to both individuals and groups face-to-face and online. In addition, I have led evening, day and weekend retreats as well as many sessions more tightly focused on reducing stress. Designing and recording bespoke visualisations and teaching meditation 1-2-1 are in demand at the moment.

I also enjoy working with individuals to help them and their children sleep better, to be less negative in outlook, to be more mindful in their communication, to be less anxious, to be more reflective, and to enjoy life more. In all that I do my aim is always to offer practical advice to all in an appropriate, accessible, enjoyable, based in good science and discursive manner.

During the pandemic visits to businesses and schools to deliver talks and workshops have ceased although online meetings seem to work very well.

Several books are available on my Amazon page (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nigel-Lowson/e/B0034Q6LYQ) and several online courses are available from my website (https://nigel.newzenler.com) or via my YouTube Channel. 

Married to Gilly since 1980 I am a father to two girls and a grandfather to two boys still at school so I still feel connected to the young, in some way!
