The techniques of improved
memory and study skills can be taught. Many students work out their own
methods the hard way, but wish they had been taught these techniques at a
much earlier age. Other students need to be taught how to study.
The main objective of CALSC
is to help students of any age to achieve their goals, whether that be to
learn to talk, read, spell or study to pass Common Entrance, GCSE,
A-Level, degree or professional examinations. All students studying for
exams can learn techniques to increase their efficiency and effectiveness
in revision and examinations. Skills such as improved memory;
organisation, self-motivation, confidence and speed reading can be taught.
