Whether you’re just starting your GCSE journey or trying to get ahead of the game, The Lightup Hub is here to make English revision easier, smarter, and way less stressful.
Feeling overwhelmed when diving into English studies is quite common, with the abundance of resources sometimes leading to confusion. But with a structured step-by-step approach, mastering the subject becomes manageable and even enjoyable.
Ready to get started? Follow these three simple steps to boost your confidence, knowledge, and essay-writing skills, all at your own pace.
✅ Step 1: Learning
We offer full, expert-led courses for both English Literature and English Language — everything you need, all in one place.
📙 Pick Your Weakest Text First
You’ll make the biggest improvement by tackling the subject or text you feel least confident in. Choose that course to start.
Take it one step at a time and don't hesitate to revisit lessons for areas you find particularly challenging.
🔁 Start with Last Minute Revision
This gives you all the core knowledge you need: key themes, characters, context, and more: perfect for building a solid foundation.
📚 Then Choose Your Learning Style
You can either:
💡 Work through the course lesson-by-lesson
💡 Or dip into specific lessons that cover the topics you need help with the most
It's your learning, your way.
✅ Step 2: Revision
Once you’ve learned the content, it’s time to lock it in.
🧠 Use Flashcards + Notes
As you go through lessons, use our built-in flashcard and note-taking features to summarise what you’re learning.
You can then revisit these notes when it’s time to revise, everything stays saved and organised in your dashboard.
🚀 Test Your Knowledge
💡 Use our quizzes to see what you’ve understood (and what needs another look)
💡 Revisit your own flashcards to stay sharp
💡 Get instant feedback so you know what’s right or wrong straight away
🗓️ Stay Organised with a Revision Plan
Our Revision Plan feature helps you build a structured timetable using all the lessons on the Hub. No stress. No wasted time.
✅ Step 3: Application
