| Question: |
| Why does this program work and consistently achieve good results? |
| Answer: |
The Study Skills Program works for many reasons:
Frequently, social pressures contribute to the building of barriers between students, parents and teachers.
The Presenter is not the students' parent or school teacher, which encourages the lowering of learning barriers and the raising of the abiilty to listen.
Inherently all young adults have great potential to learn. All we need to do is set up a environment in which these young adults are treated with respect, and are no longer judged on their right or wrong answers.
Instead, they are encouraged to participate and share thoughts and experiences. In this way learning becomes enjoyable and takes on a totally new dimension.
The following testimonial from a student sums it all up:
“This program has been one of the most exciting, interesting and worthwhile things I have done to help me study and meet my full potential.
Mr. Patankar is a great mentor and I recommend this program to anybody and everybody. I thank Mr. Patankar for his time, wisdom and help.”
