High School Study Skills
2020-06-13 10:00 - 13:00 | Vickery Village, 5855 South Vickery Street, Cumming, GA, 30040, United States
Because the pace of learning drastically increases entering high school, study habits must change as well. Learning the best practices can dramatically increase a student’s ability to take in, retain, and apply information.
Learning is hindered or facilitated by environment, state of mind, and knowledge of individual learning style. During this three hour session, students will be given a VARK Learning Assessment which will give each student a holistic understanding of how to approach studying so that they can increase quality learning and decrease quantity time. Afterwards, the students will learn some style specific approaches to studying.
The following week, each student and parent will be given the opportunity to meet with the tutor in order to review a personalized study approach packet based on the workshop results.
