Overview

Who is your best teacher? You Are! Here is your chance to get started quickly and make a difference as an independent learner. The idea for this book came from years of tutoring students (since 1996) of almost all ages at L.T.L. Tutoring Central. Some students were struggling while others were straight-A students. Programs at Tutoring Central are designed and delivered to help students find their unique paths to learning without rejecting tried and true pedagogical methods. What was once a weakness for students often becomes a new strength while adding new tools to their educational toolbox! The truth is that once a person has the confidence and a few tools to get started, he or she begins to take on the role of both student and teacher. Hence the title: Teach Myself? Teach Myself! While the idea of becoming one's own teacher is exciting, it can also be daunting and raise many questions. This guidebook provides not only the first steps but also specific strategies to help you become your own best teacher. Perhaps, you will be surprised at just how much you can do for yourself. What you learn here can be used to help your children in their academic journey as well. Here are tips and strategies to help you become a lifelong learner, including some anecdotes revealing a few students' struggles and triumphs. Learn about using a reading method, taking quality notes, setting up a schedule, writing for both academic purposes and pleasure, listening with intent, asking questions, goal setting, humour, learning styles, exam strategies, taking care of yourself, and more. Importantly, become inspired and motivated to improve your ability to learn, retain information, and use it to make your life better in a wide variety of ways. The first chapters of the book are intended to get you started quickly with suggested steps for you to practise. Later chapters expand upon some of the first steps but venture into more aspects of the learning process, explaining how to overcome obstacles and stay on the right track. Find out how David dealt with comprehension issues. Learn about Sophie's poor reading score that was not actually a reading grade at all!
