Students have different studying abilities – whether it is writing essays, using palm cards, mind maps on a white board, and various other methods. A tutor can help a student find their best study techniques, and these can be incorporated into the lessons.

Effective study methods include active recall, spaced repetition, and mind mapping. It is important that these techniques are used primarily by the student through great encouragement from the tutor. In order for a student to study, they will want to study. A tutor can guide them in finding techniques that best suit them.

Start by setting clear, specific goals for each study session to stay focused and motivated. Use active learning techniques such as summarizing information in your own words, teaching concepts to someone else, and testing yourself with practice questions rather than passively reading or highlighting. Implement spaced repetition by reviewing material over time rather than cramming, and use active recall to strengthen memory by retrieving information from memory rather than just rereading notes.
