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:

College-Level Text Readings

  Read faster with better comprehension, retention and recall
  Improve overall concentration while reading (avoid daydreaming)
  Take concise (but thorough) notes while reading
  Minimize amount of time to complete a reading assignment

Lectures

  Stay awake and focused
  Take concise (but thorough) notes
  Understand the professor's overall goal for the course

Research Papers

  Develop a research plan based on their preferred way of learning
  Create efficient timetables for each project
  Create thorough, highly readable, research papers - on time

Exams

  Enter a testing room with confidence and minimal stress
  Complete each exam in the time allotted
  Avoid the "Oh, I should've got that one!" syndrome
  Avoid "cramming" 2 chapters five minutes before the exam begins

Time Management & Organizational Skills

  Avoid "all-nighters"
  Minimize procrastination
  Minimize stress
  Have more time for leisure and recreation - believe it or not
  Schedule work & school responsibilities efficiently

 

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 6 hours, 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 TLC Strategies Workbook, or you can contact your seminar instructor (for up to 6 months) and receive personalized assistance (see
TLC Advisor Program).

The 12-hour format would include advanced strategies and allow for more in-class practice of the techniques.


 

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.

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, and learn it fast enough (to keep their job).
