Small, consistent support often makes the biggest impact — encouragement, organisation, and knowing what really matters.

🌟 Final Thoughts

You don’t have to teach your teen Science — that’s my job.
What helps most is giving them the tools, time, and encouragement to use what they already know effectively.
With a bit of structure, the right resources, and steady encouragement, even struggling students can make real progress.
