GCSEPod is a superb resource with a proven track record for helping students improve their grades; through little pods, short chunked ‘pods’ for students to watch and listen to, practice questions (many auto-marked), and ‘check and challenge’ quizzes, and exam style assessments. It’s not everyone’s favourite, but it does cover all subjects and is syllabus specific eg for AQA. You can search bits you feel less strong on and focus on those clips.

A very useful series of shortish clips allowing active revision of lots of key ideas about topics, examples, and case studies for Geography.

You can search up a range of examples, some of which we have used in class. Geography Case Studies - YouTube
As above, so below! With some other examples, and the opportunity to ‘revisit’ ones you have looked at or studied, and make comparisons.
