You will learn how to apply a variety of
flexible (and proven) reading and study
strategies using your own
preferred learning style.
Keep in mind, this is not a gimmick course,
these techniques do require practice. Fortunately,
we make certain you have plenty of time
in class to get the hands-on experience
to become proficient with these learning
methods.
To ensure you
benefit immediately, we will show you how
to apply our strategies in your current
textbooks and homework assignments during
the class sessions. That’s right,
you will actually be getting homework done
during this program. More importantly, you
will be learning how to do it with less
stress and more confidence.
If you diligently apply our techniques (during
our class sessions), you should definitely
see an improvement in your personal reading
rate and comprehension by the end of the
program.
Reading Scores From Past Students
Always be wary of any educational service
that guarantees a "sure thing." We will
show you how to learn more efficiently
and effectively; the result - as always
- will be up to you. Of course, you
will have the opportunity to apply our
learning strategies on your current
homework assignments (and many students
have seen a significant improvement
in their grades within just a few weeks).
All class sessions will take place at
your school, and can be scheduled to
coincide with your normal course times.
Class size for each session will be
limited to 10, but several sessions
will be offered throughout the day and
evening to accommodate your individual
schedule.
Typically, the 15-hour program will
run for three weeks with one-hour (or
50-minute) sessions meeting every day
(Monday through Friday); the 20-hour
seminar will run for four weeks.
Variations
of this schedule are possible based
on student interest.
The shorter 15-hour format will include
all of our reading and study skills
techniques but the practice time (in
class) will be somewhat limited. The
longer 20-hour format will allow for
extensive practice of the techniques
during each class session (on your own
homework).
We recognize that you have a full schedule
while in school, so we have structured
this program to meet your particular
needs. For an example, visit our page
called "Frequently
Asked Questions by Students".
You should bring only your current homework
assignments since you will be applying
the reading and study strategies directly
to these assignments.
At the start
of the program you
will receive a TL Student Binder which
contains:
●
All the reading and study skills strategies
● Step-by-step
guidelines for implementing the strategies
● Templates for note-taking and
research projects
● Templates for time management
& organization
● Color-coded dividers for easy
reference

Yes, for every 10 paid enrollments we
provide one full scholarship (1 free

(2 half-price enrollments). Typically,
your school will decide which students
receive the scholarships (based on financial
need).
If you don't qualify for a scholarship,
you can still receive a free enrollment
by posting seminar flyers around your
school's campus - see
