Study Skills

Tutor – Julie Snow

Course Description

Study skills level the playing field for all students. This class will help our responsible students become more engaged in their learning and become more efficient when they study or do homework. And it will help students who have traditionally struggled with school get organized, study smarter, and take control of their own learning so they can discover success in school. Organization and consistent use of a planner, goal setting, note taking, organizing research, presenting and study strategies will all be covered. The most important portion of this class is the students use of the tools and strategies learned outside of class time. Consistency is key.
