Description

If you are going to be attending post-secondary this fall but you are feeling nervous, worried, and unprepared, this course is for you. So many of my students don’t feel ready to take the leap from high school to college or university. They often tell me they feel the work will be too hard, the courses will go too fast, and they don’t know if they have the tools to study and take tests. So many students also share they are stressed out and overwhelmed and school hasn’t even began!

If this sounds like you (or if this sounds like your son or daughter), don’t worry. With a little preparation and practice you can feel equipped with information and the practical tools you will need to begin your new adventure.

Here’s what you will learn:

• How to put the growth mindset into practice
• How to get ready for classes before classes begin
• How to focus and pay quality attention in class
• How to take notes that make sense
• How to make a plan and schedule that works for you
• How to tackle assignments and projects step by step
• How to study for tests and become a test taking master
• How to do academic research and produce quality work
• How to learn more efficiently when you don’t have a lot of time
• How to manage your stress and anxiety
• How to use feedback and mistakes to learn and grow
• How to create a support circle so you feel you have the help you need

This course includes:

• 180 minutes of 1:1 instruction via Zoom Video Conferencing
• Handouts and practical tools
• A follow up video with 10 helpful hinges for school success

I have coached hundreds of students with academic strategies and they tell me how much the tools they learned help the to feel calm and in control and empowered!
