Study Skills
Many parents recognize that their children struggle with study and organizational skills. With a glance at their school binders, parents can often see that organization is likely not a high priority at the moment. It can be frustrating and anxiety-provoking not to know if your child has all of the papers and notes that will be on tests or quizzes. Missed homework can constantly bring a student’s class grade down, while its completion should be an asset. At Lionheart Tutoring, we can help students master the art of organizing their binders and their notes. We will help bring the chaos back to order and set out a system that will keep it there. While tailoring our organization program, we consider your child’s unique situation in terms of class schedule and course load. Moreover, we can help students grasp the need and the skill of note taking. Rather than use bubble notes or other fads, we opt for more traditional approaches that can help students see the big picture down to the key detail. These notes also help students study by having ready-made prompts for review. When prompted, we can also work with parents to prepare a reward and consequence system that takes some of the drama and tension out of talking about school. In this way, students can know exactly what is expected of them and what will happen automatically if they do or do not follow through on expectations.
