Learn Easier Study Better is an online course that was created with middle and high school students, online learners, and adult learners returning to a student role, in mind. Typically these types of students are the ones who most need to learn how to develop their ability to learn independently, boost their confidence in their abilities and basically learn easier and study better. However anyone who feels that they could improve their learning and study abilities will benefit from this course.
This course helps these students accomplish exactly this in two main ways. First, it will increase students' meta-cognition. This is the ability to think about one's thinking. Thus students will learn to recognize what it is that they do that helps their learning as well as what they do that hinders their learning. Secondly, this course encourages students to develop a growth mindset. A growth mindset includes perseverance and a "can do" attitude. A growth mindset is more indicative of success than IQ!
In this course you, you will learn to improve and maintain your motivation and attitude toward learning, understand the learning process, increase your confidence in your learning, and learn an assortment of tricks and strategies to help you learn and study more effectively. This is taught through standard videos, narrated slideshow videos, handouts, reading texts, and key concept visuals. Students will learn through repetition, reflection, and using the three modes of learning (auditory, visual, and kinesthetic).
It should take a student about 6 hours to complete this course. This time lime includes watching the videos, reading and viewing the text materials and doing the handout exercises. The benefits of the work that you will do in this short time will be felt throughout your life!

Teaching Your Own Child was created for parents who either want to break through the resistance their child shows toward working with them or want to understand what exactly they need to teach their child to help them do better in school. This course will help parents/guardians or grandparents and other significant adults in a child's life, understand how to make a learning time go more smoothly. It provides information on teaching the basics for improving reading and math skills in order to help a child who is struggling in school or strengthen the foundation for those who are not struggling but could use a boost in their academics. I have made this tutorial free while so many children are at home learning and doing their part to reduce the spread of Covid-19.
