Academic TutorMy best advice is to help her create a schedule and encourage her to stick with it. It could be a paper calendar, or a digital calendar on Google or something. Have her map out each day's studying plan. Then, help her jot down all of the major assignments she has coming up. Often, just getting in the habit of planning to study will help make it happen!
Warnings
- Don’t be condescending if you know more about the subject than she does. If she asks for your help, avoid walking her through basic information—instead, help specifically on whatever’s confusing her the most.[14]⧼thumbs_response⧽
