Come join me for a super-fun class that will turn you into a memory expert!

+ Are you really into doing brain teasers and mind puzzles?
+ Are you a fan of memory games?
+ Are you an advanced critical thinker?
+ Or…are you struggling to keep up with the demands of daily life, just wishing you could remember your new classmate’s name, where you left your gym shoes, and what you were supposed to do after dinner tonight?

I think we all have days when we’d love to have a better memory. 

In this class, we’ll play a fun Memory-Tray Game a bunch of times. You’ll learn specific strategies for getting better and better. These strategies are not only great for the game, but are also great for your studies and your everyday life.

Please read more below for class details. I hope you’ll sign up for the class!

The biggest problem we have with memory is remembering to focus on what it is we need to remember in the first place. We’re often distracted or preoccupied and simply forget to try to remember.

Another problem we have with memory is that there’s too much to remember! Studies show that we can only remember around 7 random digits or pieces of information unless we support our memory with specific strategies.

In this class, we’ll practice focusing on the information to be remembered. And we’ll learn a number of strategies that can support our memories, such as…
+ “chunking” pieces of information into categories such as color or shape
+ memorizing spatial relationships 
+ creating chronological stories

I have a PhD in German and 25+ years of experience teaching, so I really know my stuff. I'm also a former homeschool mom who is warm and encouraging. I’m a careful explainer, and I provide lots of straightforward, clear examples.

The class offers approximately 45 minutes of learning material, plus a Reference Sheet and an optional extension activity.

This is a self-paced class, which means there are no live meetings on Zoom. Instead, you work your way through the pre-recorded, pre-written learning materials posted in the classroom (videos + strategy reference sheet + slide presentation).

You can go through the class at whatever pace works best for you.
- If you finish early, great—you can move on to your next study skills class!
- If you need more time, no problem. Just let me know.

If you have questions as you are working on the material, you can message me at any time.
