Class experience

The student will learn about the importance of identifying life goals as a means of motivated study.

I have been a teacher for the last 30 years in both public and private school settings throughout the Atlantic region. Many of my students have attended some of the premier universities in North America (Yale, West Point, Stanford) and in the U.K. (Cambridge, Oxford, Edinburgh). With those students it was a matter of having approached their studies with effort and imagination; there are no gimmicks or tricks to becoming a great student - it is an innate passion for the subject and a drive to succeed. 
Homework Offered
The student should read Napoleon at Work and should practice the skills discussed in class ....daily.

A sense of destiny and a driving ambition to succeed
Napoleon is used as the best example of an individual who by their own effort, desire, and determination was able to achieve the unimaginable. This class is not about Napoleon the soldier, it is about Napoleon the student. The theme is that effort and imagination can achieve great results, not to turn your child into a conqueror of Europe.
