ARTHUR CRUMLISH EDUCATION
Approach
Arthur has been helping students develop their test taking skills for over three decades. Because he views test prep as an opportunity to guide individuals towards a way of thinking and operating that utilises their full potential, Arthur customises his method on an individual basis.
For the last 35 years Arthur has worked with students of all ages on a wide variety of tests, projects, academic subjects and career ambitions. This rich experience has allowed Arthur to develop an approach that is recognised internationally for its effectiveness and the enduring benefits it delivers.
Starting with what he likes to call the “interference” to performance, Arthur drills down to the essential obstacles that individuals encounter when facing high stakes challenges. In the case of standardised testing, this interference could be gaps in knowledge, unfamiliarity with a test format, but equally, lack of confidence, distractibility, impulsiveness or anxiety.
Personalising every program is a fundamental pillar of Arthur’s unique approach. Throughout the process Arthur asks his students to examine how they function and to harness their latent abilities. Guiding them to a more profound understanding of the true potential they possess and the genuine impediments they may face, Arthur encourages them to cultivate a knowledge of themselves and the subject at hand while developing the critical faculties they will need to succeed.
Arthur: “Each student is unique and will make their own journey. That is the fun part for me…that and getting the best results possible!“
