STUDY SKILLS TUTORING
Holistic study skills tutoring requires three main elements: understanding the student’s study habits, determining the student’s studying environment, and seeking out what changes are necessary to optimize studying. This observation ensures that study skills instruction is relevant, leading toward improved grades, increased confidence, and lower stress.
WHAT ARE STUDY SKILLS?
Study Skills are a combination of skills, ranging from executive functioning like time management to learning how to best triage tasks based on academic performance. Novella Prep Instructors apply our proven study journal exercise that is iterative, building week by week to help a student make choices that optimize the time spent after school.
INPUT, OUTPUT
Parents understand the importance of compound interest when it comes to 401ks, but this concept may often be lost on students as it relates to studying. Before jumping into tutoring, which can sometimes be used as a bandaid that hides longer term behaviors that undermine performance, we strongly recommend going through our study skills program to ensure your son or daughter understand what it takes to succeed.
