Study Skills

All students, regardless of skill-level, can benefit from improved Study Skills. Sylvan's highly effective Study Skills Program helps students in elementary school, middle high and high school develop a personal study process that works best for their individual learning styles and academic needs. Using assignments from school, students practice:

• Organization and time management
• Effective note-taking skills
• Reading and study strategies
• Test-taking strategies and techniques

By streamlining the study process, students learn faster, retain knowledge for longer periods of time and recall material with greater accuracy. Students become confident with their new skills, helping them tackle challenging tests and assignments without anxiety or frustration. Sylvan Study Skills works effectively with other Sylvan courses and can increase the benefits of all student's personal learning program.
