D,oh, sometimes I'm so concerned with advanced methods, I forget the basics
I’ve unfortunately committed one of the cardinal sins of critical thinking….
I can’t believe I haven’t addressed this earlier but unfortunately I sometimes don’t see the forest for the trees.
I got an email from a student today, she asked me for some ‘general tips for academic success’. I was just about to throw her an email saying “well, uhh… why don’t you just check out the ENTIRE BLOG, WEBSITE and BOOK!
But I then took a look around the blog and realized I haven’t actually given any of you the basic tips for academic success! I suppose I’ve always just thought that anyone who wanted that info should just check out the VTA Method and consult an online tutor. But I want this blog to be a resource for any student, not just ones that have bought my program (although it’s awesome).
So with that in mind I’m going to start a recurring series of the general tips for academic success. Here is what I’m planning on talking about:
General college study tips
Exam study tips
How to study for finals
Study tips for different types of learners
How to write an A paper
How to create a study schedule
Health tips that will improve study habits
Advanced study tips
I’d like to ask everyone to tell me what I should add to the list, or what I should not talk about. I want it to be a 10 part series so I may rip out one or two and replace them if you have some good ideas. Comment away!
As always, if anybody is interested in online tutoring go check out our VTA Method University Mentorship Program.

I would love to see some health tips, and perhaps more than the regular ‘go exercise.’ Something with food also?
Cal on study hacks published two books + offers great hacks on his blog. The only reason I bought both of his books was a) he didn’t constantly push me to buy it (my internal alarm goes off) and b) I knew how he wrote and that I could trust him, ie the books are worth their value. I dont want anyone to tell me that, I want to be able to change it for myself. So anything from the following would be very much appreciated, just to get a feeling of what you offer with your method:
How to study for finals
Study tips for different types of learners
How to write an A paper
How to create a study schedule
