Mississauga Central

Did you know that studies have shown that 4 out 5 parents believe the beginning of the year is the best time to build study habits and prepare for the rest of the year? Our 20-hour Study Skills workshop helps do just that! Research has demonstrated that learning how to study more effectively boosts confidence going into tests, strengthens self-esteem and helps students become self-motivated to strive for better grades.

Kids with better study habits use their time wisely instead of passively studying for what seems like endless hours on end. 

The purpose of this program is to help your child become the best version of him or her self!

We have outlined below the topics to be covered in the workshop running for High School students in 2017.  It’s a full 20 hours and for an investment of $500 it works out to costing only $25 per hour! Imagine the competitive advantage your child will have over their classmates when they are equipped with the tools to excel above the rest of the class.
