This self-paced course is for students whether homeschool, public school, or private school who want to develop techniques to be successful in school and for life.

Disable the fear and discover tools and skills for success.  Students will learn the power of self-responsibility to become a master student.

Students will be given a questionnaire as well as a list of materials to complete upon enrollment to give the instructor background and knowledge of the student's interest before the session.  Once a week, students will watch a pre-recorded instructional video followed by an independent activity!


The goal of this course is to provide techniques for school success; therefore, students are asked to identify a subject that they would like to focus on in the course to apply the techniques they are learning.  If they do not have a course, please let me know because I have alternative assignments for those scenarios.

Students also have the option of having live help as needed throughout the course.  Simply post a request for office hours.
