brush-up

Skill revival session

A brush-up is a quick review or refresher to restore skills or knowledge that have gone rusty: I need a brush-up on my Spanish before the trip.

To brush up is to polish or improve something through practice: She brushed up on her interview skills.

The image is of brushing dust off something neglected.
