Who can benefit from a Study Skills Crash Course?

Everyone!

Study skills are not regularly taught in school, beyond the basics of summarizing, mind maps and key cards. There is also no emphasis placed on a child’s individual learning style, and what this means for their study methods. This is why it’s a necessity for all learners (high achievers, average achievers and learners who are struggling) to learn how to study effectively with a Study Skills Crash Course.

What does our Study Skills Crash Course cover?

  • How your child’s memory works
  • Your child’s learning style
  • The most effective study methods for your child
  • Time management
  • Creating an effective study schedule
  • Building confidence

We suggest spacing the two sessions over a few days or a week, as the course is usually one 2-hour session. The 2 x 1-hour sessions will follow one another, so it’s best to conduct the second session as soon as possible. Let’s schedule the sessions roughly one week apart.

The course is designed to do this by working through our unique format created with the help of educators. To successfully assess your child’s learning style/s, the facilitator will take into account a combination of factors.

Some examples being: Getting to know your child and their preferences/ Assessing the responses from the Course Pack (Appendix 1 and 2 will be completed by you before the study skill sessions take place – this is a preliminary questionnaire that you and your child fill in)/ Going through a piece of work or an assignment that Owen has struggled with or performed poorly when tested on (if applicable)/ Various other practical exercises the facilitator has Owen complete during sessions.

Yes, the facilitator works one-on-one with Owen, and all recommendations and practical methods will be custom and tailored to Owen’s unique learning style, preferences, and personality.

Establishing strong and personalised study and organizational strategies that match your child’s unique combination of learning styles and preferences is a valuable skill that will be carried through their school and post-secondary journeys. This is a crash course, so although they do cover a lot in the 2 hours together, if Owen needs further assistance on how to apply these methods to his schoolwork as the year goes on, we suggest booking follow-up study skills and organizational tutoring sessions whenever he needs extra support. Study skills will continue developing over time, and as he ages and changes and is exposed to new subjects and curriculum, he might need further help along the way.

I completely understand this concern. My recommendation is to use this time to begin learning this skill, as Owen might require additional study skills/ organizational sessions along the way. It is a lifelong skill, and most children his age will need time to practice and keep growing these skills. The sooner we start, the better for him and his studies :)

Your course facilitator will send through a Google Meet or Zoom invitation to your email address. At the beginning of the session, the facilitator will spend a few minutes getting to know your child a bit better and will usually log on a few minutes early in order to introduce herself and break the ice. If you’d like to meet the facilitator, you are welcome to! We suggest giving the facilitator and student focused time together, and usually ask parents to leave the room so that the student and facilitator can connect and focus. However, given Owen’s learning difficulties, if you’d like to, you could listen in to the session from the same room, but we just ask that you not be on camera/ sitting right beside your child so that the facilitator has the space to connect with Owen. After the session, your facilitator will provide feedback, as well as some additional information to be used for the continued development of his study and organizational strategies.
