Underclassmen have widely varied needs. While some may have strong study habits, others can be overwhelmed with the collegiate workload. Additionally, faculty and staff resources vary from college to college. An effective study skills program needs to consider both the students' needs and the dynamics of how to best implement the program. Our goal is to find the best way to make our program fit within the existing organizational structures or constraints.  This helps avoid administrative headaches and results in a more efficient, effective and affordable program.

In our 35 years of teaching study skills we have learned that it can often be a single skill or bit of information that helps students realize their potential.  We designed our online lessons with the mindset that any part may be the part that resonates with a particular student. Each lesson emphasizes key points that we have seen students struggle with over the years. Our online lessons use engaging state of the art e-learning technology to make every effort to keep a student's attention.

Tutors often work with students having the pressure of an upcoming test. That makes it difficult for long term planning.  Tutors can help students address their immediate concerns by teaching them skills they'll want to use permanently. This helps address short term and long term needs. Also, if all tutors are trained to use the same fundamental techniques, then students get consistent sessions even if they have a different tutor.
