My 1/2-day study skills seminar is officially called THE STRATEGIC COLLEGE STUDENT: How to Get Higher Grades While Studying Less Than Most Other People.
I’ll tell you how to access it below.
“A study skills class that teaches you how to study LESS? Really?”
Yes! In just half a day, I can teach your kid to achieve at high academic levels in college or grad school while studying less than most other people.
This is info your kid is not hearing at school.
This 1/2-day study skills seminar is for students ages 12–26 and their parents.
All those people, all in the same room, all at the same time.
Are you wondering why I have middle schoolers attending this college study skills class alongside high school students, college students, grad students, and parents? If you’ve got a kid ages 12–14, be sure to read my eye-opening article: 7 Reasons Your Middle Schooler Needs a College Study Skills Class.
Here’s a family raving about this study skills class three whole years after taking it:
Jeannie,
My 12-year-old son and I attended one of your seminars three years ago. (THE STRATEGIC COLLEGE STUDENT: How to Get Higher Grades While Studying Less Than Most Other People.) I want to give you feedback about the impact that you have had on my son since.
First, your way of speaking, your excitement, and your ability to be clear and concise (in a way that a 12–year–old could understand) prompted him to lean over to me 10 minutes into your class and say that he would be willing to attend your ‘MAKE THEM SAY WOW’ scholarship essay writing seminar. Up to that point he thought I was wasting our money and precious hours of his weekend. Suddenly, he was writing notes and anticipating attending a seminar about essay writing—on a Saturday!
Second, we lingered after the class so that you could see his notes and I could ask a question. I remember he handed his notes to you and commented that his writing was sloppy or something to that effect. You took the notes from him and examined them as if they were 2000 years old and written in gold. That obvious tenderness was not lost on me. Then you said quietly and with genuine awe that his notes were just wonderful and that you did not see many high schoolers with such complete notes. I don’t remember the exact words you used but it made an impact on him. You made him feel like the smartest kid in the city. As parents, my husband and I often find unique ways to compliment an action, a choice, or a comment he has made. He will dismiss it and say that we say it because we love him. Sometimes a stranger can have a much bigger impact on a kid than a parent.
What’s most remarkable about this class, though, is that it’s stuck with our son for the three years since he took it. Recently he had a very difficult transition from private grade school to public high school. It turns out there were several “gaps” in teaching in physical science, math, Spanish and English. (For example, in 9 entire years of Spanish, the private school never once taught him to conjugate a verb.) This was scary and stressful. Joe recognized this almost immediately. He did not panic. He just dug in deep and worked hard. I really believe that Joe’s freshman year would have been a very different experience if he had never been prepped with your seminars. He doesn’t yet utilize all of your suggestions, but he has some of the most important tools down, including a good, confident attitude and a strategic work ethic.
You have had a pretty big role in all of this. I wish you could feel how thankful I am for you!
