Study Skills Course
We offer a comprehensive Study Skills course, which is tailored to individual students in grades 5 to 12. It uses a curriculum based on the book "Study Power-study skills to improve your learning and your grades" by William R. Luckie, Ph.D.
The program uses a series of quizzes (or checklists) to determine the students study skills at home and at school. In this non-stressful way we determine in which areas the student needs the most help.
The workbook by Dr. Luckie used in this course can be purchased from the tutor for $12, or can be ordered from Amazon.com
During the 8 to 10, one hour, weekly lessons the following key skills are covered:
- listening
- note taking
- concentration
- summarizing
- reading comprehension
- memorization
- test taking
- preparing papers & reports
- time management
Time management is a key study skill.
