The most important skill a student needs to perform well in school are study skills, a.k.a. "how to study." Yet, these skills are rarely taught in school. Students are expected to find their own way to study effectively with little guidance. In many of our students we find their lack of study skills in a certain discipline explains their academic performance. In ALL of our tutoring sessions we incorporate the necessary study skills needed to succeed in a certain subject. Some students need help in developing their general study skills for all of their classes. We provide tutoring sessions solely focused on developing study skills for global academic success. This includes, but is not limited to: how to take notes, how to get the most out of classroom time, how to ask questions in class, time management skills, and how to effectively study for quizzes and tests. We believe that one of the main reasons our students do so well is that we teach them HOW TO STUDY for their class. Our students carry on these skills for the rest of their academic careers.
Our study skills tutoring program is so effective that many of our students find they no longer need our services! Several of our past students, who are now in college and graduate school, tell us that they attribute their current academic success to the study skills we taught them.
