Learning how to learn
It's the skill school assumes you already have, without ever really teaching it. It's also the one that serves you for life.
Nobody teaches us how to learn
At school you learn maths, history, French, English, science. But who teaches you how to learn? Learning effectively is neither as simple nor as intuitive as it sounds.
As a result, many students work hard, and inefficiently. They reread their notes on a loop believing that's revision, they start the night before because nobody taught them to plan, and they lose heart because they attribute to a lack of intelligence what is in fact merely a problem of method.
None of this is inevitable. Effective learning techniques are known, documented, and teachable.
Three concrete areas
Knowing how you work
Identifying the tools that suit your personality and the task at hand. There is no single right method — there is yours.
Getting organised
Planning, breaking work down, anticipating. Knowing how long a task actually takes, and no longer doing everything the night before.
Memorising and performing
Proven techniques for memorisation, note-taking and exam preparation, applied to the subjects where the student needs them most.
That your child no longer needs us
That's our definition of success, and it's a slightly counter-intuitive one for a business: we aren't trying to install permanent support. We're trying to make our students independent.
When a student is taught to use these tools properly, it works: they continue to apply them themselves in the subjects where they need them most. That's the moment our job is done.
Learn'Box
We condensed this approach into a book, Learn'Box, written by Laure Talavet-Omont. It isn't meant to hand out a ready-made recipe: it helps each student build their own learning method, based on their personality, their needs and their goals.
