Why Start Now

Start the year

Short enough to finish in one sitting, then apply the Velvet Method to your subjects straight away — whenever in the year you start.

🎯

Map your subjects first

Use the View step to map your full A-Level or GCSE specifications. Understand the big picture before you learn a single detail.

🏆

Questions

Before you
enrol.

Isn't this just using ChatGPT?

No. Left alone, ChatGPT will happily do the work for your child. The Velvet Method is a six-step system for using AI so they do the thinking — generating their own understanding, testing themselves, and fixing gaps. It teaches how to prompt for learning, not for answers.

Will it work for my child's subjects and exam board?

Yes. The method is subject- and exam-board-agnostic — it works for any GCSE, A-Level or IBDP subject, on AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC/Eduqas, CCEA, Cambridge or IB.

How long does it take?

About 45 minutes of bite-size video. Your child can work through it in an afternoon and start applying it to their own subjects the same day. Lifetime access, so they can revisit any step.

Do they need to be techy?

Not at all. If they can use a web browser and type a message, they can do this. Every step shows exactly what to do.

Which AI tools do they need?

It works with the free versions of ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. No paid subscription required.

Is it for parents or students?

Students use it, but it's designed so parents can set it up and understand exactly what their child is doing. Suitable for GCSE, A-Level and IBDP.

What if it's not right for us?
