7 habits to get the most out of every lesson

Simple habits that help students learn faster and help teachers see progress.

Lessons are only part of learning. What you do before and after makes the biggest difference.

  • Arrive with one question you want answered.
  • Tell your teacher what felt hard since last time.
  • Take notes in your own words, not word for word.
  • Practise a little between lessons — 15 minutes most days beats two hours once a week.
  • Ask for one piece of homework, even if it's tiny.
  • Review your notes right before the next lesson.
  • Every few weeks, look back at where you started. Progress is easy to miss up close.
