Study Skills
Schools do not always have a great deal of time to teach study skills. I provide explicit tuition in this highly important area. In secondary school, this often involves teaching students how to prepare for tests and examinations. Students are taught how to create and use their own individualised study timetables, by taking into account their personal commitments, such as part-time jobs and sport. In this way, students can be more proactive in their learning and develop confidence as independent learners. Primary school students for example, are shown how to plan ahead to meet deadlines for important assignments and are taught helpful strategies for test preparation and how to make more effective use of classroom time.
