You can’t really teach people anything unless they are willing to learn. What I like most is working with willing and eager learners – people who are hungry and are excited about learning new things. These people are GHB’s (growing human beings) and are usually optimistic, open-minded and curious.

Are you an Owl or a Lark?
September 16, 2009 By 1 Comment
There are two kinds of people – Owls and Larks. Owls like to stay up late and do their best work when all of the fanfare dies down. The drag butt in the mornings and don’t get activated until mid morning or afternoon. On the other hand, Larks are morning people. They rise with the sun, sun shinny and smiles and they irk the daylights out of owls. Knowing which type you are will make a big difference with your study habits and results.

Did you know that the most important skill for learning is reading? Think about it – you have to read in every subject, including math!

You must read in order to prepare for tests and even write your papers.

When you study, you can’t afford to entertain distractions. To get the most of your study time, turn off the TV, PlayStation, Xbox, Gameboy, and whatever else! Now, the only exception is music. The key to effective learning is to be in the right state and the right kind of music can facilitate learning in an incredible way.

The Library is no Place to Get a Good Night’s Sleep!
August 17, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Great halls of learning shouldn’t be places to sleep! When I notice people sleeping in libraries, I often wonder, “Are our libraries becoming giant public bedrooms?” I know what the problem is – people are passive in their reading, which bores the brain to death. The goal is to learn to be active in the reading process.
Accelerated Learning… aka ‘How to learn ANYTHING!’
August 13, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Knowing something about Accelerated Learning helps students improve their study skills. Simply stated, Accelerated Learning or ‘whole brain’ learning methods are designed to relax students, and open them up to learning using a holistic approach. Yes, it’s a little different from traditional classroom learning, but it works.
