Study Skills Workshop

Did you know that studies have shown that 4 out of 5 parents believe the beginning of the year is the best time to build study habits and prepare for the rest of the year? Our Study Skills Workshop helps do just that! Research has demonstrated that learning how to study more effectively boosts confidence going into tests, strengthens self-esteem and helps students become self-motivated to strive for better grades. Kids with better study habits use their time wisely instead of passively studying for what seems like endless hours on end. 

The purpose of this program is to help your child become the best version of themselves!

We have outlined below the topics to be covered in the workshop running for High School students in 2024. It’s a full 20 hours, and for an investment of $500, it works out to cost only $25 per hour! Imagine the competitive advantage your child will have over their classmates when they are equipped with the tools to excel above the rest of the class.
