Each session will meet during your normal school schedule, so you can use one of
your free periods to attend each daily session. And at the beginning of the
program, you will receive a binder containing all the handouts, learning
strategies and materials
for this program. Therefore, if your schedule
prevents you from attending a particular session
you will still have the materials to review
on your own.
To ensure each session is productive, you will
actually apply the study techniques using your
current homework assignments. As a result, we
will make certain you are applying the techniques
properly - while you are completing your homework.
There are not any outside assignments for this program.
Actually, since
our reading and study skills strategies will make you a more efficient student,
you will see the following time-saving benefits before you even complete the
program.
●
Less daydreaming while reading
●
Less re-reading
●
Less time spent reviewing material already read
●
Less time required studying/reviewing for tests
●
Less time writing research papers
●
Improved time management and organizational
skills

My current schedule doesn’t have room for another
class, even for only 1 or 2 weeks.
We want you to honor all of your commitments
while at school - whether they are academic,
athletic, extracurricular, and even social.
Because of this, we realize you may not have
any free periods during the day.
To help, we can run sessions as late as 9:00 p.m. (Monday through Friday). And
if there is enough
interest, we can even offer sessions on Saturday
and Sunday. For those who are severely time-challenged,
we can also arrange special times to make up
for missed sessions.
I don't need help with all my reading
and study skills, I just need help in specific
areas.
You will receive a detailed course outline describing
when each topic (and learning strategy) will be presented - this will allow you to attend the
sessions that are the most relevant to your
specific needs.
Of course, we do encourage you to attend as many sessions as possible since our
learning strategies have helped even top performing students
become more efficient and effective at their
studies.
I've taken study skills courses before, but
the techniques took too much effort to implement
or didn't work well for my way of doing things.
Most generic study skills courses are designed
for the "average" student and for "average"
learning conditions. But as you know, every
student is different and has unique needs; and
learning conditions constantly change - and each teacher has a different
presentation style, and different expectations.
It is also safe to say that you are not 100% motivated
to learn something new every single day.
Our reading and study skills programs are definitely
not generic. Early in the program, we
will help you discover your most natural (and
comfortable) way to learn through a variety
of learning and thinking assessments.
During the program, you will have the opportunity to try a variety of flexible
techniques on your current homework to see which techniques best
fit your
learning and thinking style.
In fact, our past students have said the process
felt so natural, it didn't feel like they were
even applying a technique.
Everything sounds great during the program,
but what happens (after the program) if I have
difficulty applying the new reading and study
techniques?
If you don't remember something presented during the
program (or if
you encounter a new study problem after the
program), you can e-mail the instructor with your questions or requests for
additional help.
This is a free service
that you can use at any time for six months after you
complete the program.
