What will I learn in this
seminar?
It's not easy to return to a formal school setting
after many years, especially if you were never
particularly fond of long classes, homework,
and exams. Because of this, and your concern
about juggling school, work, and family responsibilities,
we created a seminar to show you flexible (and
practical) strategies to help you become a more
efficient and effective student in school.
By the end of this seminar, you will be able
to excel in the following areas:

How is it possible to
improve my learning skills in just 1 day?
You will learn how to use your
personal learning style
to efficiently apply a variety of flexible and
proven reading and study techniques. Keep in
mind, this is not a gimmick course; these techniques
do require practice. Fortunately, we make certain
you have time in class to get the hands-on experience
to become proficient with these learning methods.
To ensure you experience the benefit of these techniques in just 1 day (9:00am
- 4:00pm) you will use your own textbooks and
materials to immediately practice what you learn.
If you are not currently in school, we will
provide you with relevant materials for the
in-class activities.
After the seminar, if you need additional help
with your learning skills, you can use your
TL Strategies Workbook, or you can contact your
seminar instructor (for 6 months following the
seminar) and receive personalized assistance
(see
TLC Advisor Program).
This program is included in the cost of the
seminar.
Will I see an immediate
improvement?
If you diligently apply our techniques (in class)
you should definitely see an improvement in
your reading rate, comprehension, and study
skills by the end of the seminar.

Can I use your learning
strategies to become more efficient at work?
Definitely! As you become a more efficient
and effective learner you will be able to embrace
change and quickly excel in new assignments.
After all, the reason most employees don't like
change is because they are worried that they
may not be able to learn something new, or learn
it fast enough (to keep their job).
