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 (in class), 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 past 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 10-hour program will
run for two weeks with one-hour
(or 50-minute) sessions meeting
every day (Monday through Friday);
the 15-hour seminar will run for
three weeks, and the 20-hour seminar
will run for four weeks.
Variations
of this schedule are possible based
on student interest.
The shorter
format (10 hours) will include the
majority of our reading and study
skills strategies but the practice
time will be limited. The longer
formats (15 and 20 hours) will include
every element of our program plus
allow for extensive practice of
the techniques during each class
(on your own homework, of course).
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 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
