Técnicas de estudio: estrategias semanales para el éxito

Do you struggle to get your learner to listen to your suggestions about study skills?  Is it getting in the way of your relationship and family dynamic? As the mom of two grown children, I have been in your shoes! As a 20-year teaching veteran and private tutor, I have seen firsthand how parents want to help, but it's a struggle.

Each week in this ongoing class, learners will learn a new study skill that they can put to use immediately. And, during the school year, I will be inviting students to bring any assignments or questions they have about what they are learning and how it can be applied in the school setting.

As an ongoing class, students can enroll and withdraw as they would like or need. Each lesson is independent and will be recycled approximately every 8-10 weeks.

This class will meet for 30 minutes weekly and is a subscription that you can stop and re-start as needed. The class will be interactive with sharing and questioning encouraged, but not required. I teach in a fun, light-hearted way that helps develop trust and makes learning fun.

There will be a warm-up designed to get your learner thinking about their current study skills and goals, followed by examples of each of the study skills listed. Learners will get an opportunity to share what is going on at school with regards to planning and studying.
