Maximizing Your Potential Using Growth Mindset

Wednesday, September 13 at 7:00 pm | Register here

As parents, we often hear “I’m just bad at taking tests…” or “I’m just not a math person”.

As educators, however, we know better. We know that while some students are naturally better at a subject or have an easier time with tests, every student can develop similar skills.

In this free webinar, a Revolution Prep professional online tutor demonstrates how a growth mindset (by Stanford University’s Carol Dweck) can help any student improve in any subject. By removing their “fixed mindset,” we can unlock their ability to believe their capacity can trump the difficulty of the content. And this shift in perspective leads to more confidence and better grades and test scores.

How Executive Function Skills Improve Grades & Lower Stress

Wednesday, September 20 at 7:00 pm | Register here

Students are often tired and stressed out.

But they don’t have to be.

Executive functioning skills can turn things around.

Does your child ever:

Feel sleep-deprived?
Procrastinate even though it increases stress?
Does their homework, but forgets to turn it in?

Executive functioning is what makes a student “good” at school. And fortunately executive functioning is a learnable skill!

In this free webinar, a Revolution Prep professional online tutor shares their executive functioning secrets that have helped struggling students become successful independent learners.
