4 Tips to Increase Success With Online Learning, Distance Education and Virtual Classes From Home

For many students and parents, virtual and online learning from home has created some great opportunities however navigating through the development of new routines and study habits may be a challenge. We are #allinthistogether and I thought I would share some tips that have helped our family and clients. I am a mom of three incredible boys, each with their own personality, strengths, dreams and study habits.

I recently asked my son Nathan, who is 14 and we have discovered has a whole set of skills that we did not know until the temporary closure of schools. Nathan has quite the entrepreneurial spirit and drive (that will absolutely also benefit him in his studies). He has generously stepped up to help me and our team with some tasks in our business. I also asked him what his advice would be for other students and families during this time, here’s what he shared (I may be biased because I’m his mom, but I think these are pretty awesome tips we can all apply in school, business and family life).

#1 Keep your mind active and positive – do some reading.

#2 Stay connected with friends on any social platform.

#3 Enjoy time with family- be creative in your STAYcation.

These tips got me thinking about my role as an educator, and thought I would share a few tips to help students and families who are learning about online learning, virtual coursework and making the best of schooling at home.

  • Workspace/study-space- choose a space that is free of distractions and comfortable.
  • Routines- create a schedule or a routine, it may not be exactly the routine you had at school but creating a daily routine can reduce wasted time and increase success.
  • Wellbeing- make sure you take time for self care. This includes breaks
  • Communication and Collaborate with classmates

We have now started offering our SAT, SSAT and PrepEssential courses online. Check out the webpage for more information: https://prepskills.com/prepstore/

We will also be launching a series of online learning events (webinars and video interviews) with US Colleges/Universities, scholarship experts and experts that student athletes will definitely want to hear from.

And if you need help with private school admissions SSAT and EQ Emotional Intelligence skills, we’ve got you covered. Check this out

In our commitment to continue connecting students/families to US Colleges & Universities, we encourage you to register for the US College Expo here so that I can start connecting you directly to the international admissions representatives for the colleges/universities that you are interested in.

We’ll continue sharing more tips in our future blogs. With many of you commencing your online courses this week, we wish you great success in learning online. A great video to start with is:
