Integrated classroom resource
Ensure that your study skills program is more than a one-off. Elevate realises that study skills, like any other set of skills, are built through repetition and review. As such, Elevate provides schools with a range of resources that teachers can use to follow-up in their classrooms, ensuring that students use Elevate’s skills consistently enough that they become habit.

"Elevate would be rated a 10/10. This was the most engaging, energetic workshop that taught me a lot that I can use for the rest of high school and college. I learned how to use all the skills I learned these past 4 days and really put them together to answer a question. This was fantastic!“

“This program is a great program. It was entertaining yet informal. I had fun. I learned a lot about myself and how I study. I will definitely be using this. The most important thing I learned today is managing my time. I am a huge procrastinator and this helped. I’ll definitely be looking up the apps”

What people are saying
"I would rate the program a 10 because it was actually very helpful. I have bad memory and the new things I learned today can help me. Even though I am in AP classes I never learned these note taking and study skills until this program. The most important thing I learned today was the 7 steps of exam preparation. It is good the way it is do not change it"
