Study Tips
Here are two study tips from over 1,500 tips submitted by students and teachers
I used to get really terrible grades in geometry and didn't know why. I studied hard and practiced and thought I'd do well. The truth was I didn't practice enough. When it came to the test I lost my confidence in the skills I practiced and forgot them. Practice your skills until you have completely mastered them. Then you will be confident when you take a test.

I have a study time table which holds materials for 1 or 2 subjects. I study each for an hour or an hour and a half. This helps me because I don't have to strain myself reading a subject for long hours and ending up losing concerntration. Rather, I pick up small amounts of information per day, which will stick in my mind.

Response Time
Give students adequate time to respond to questions you ask during a lecture or a discussion. Allowing sufficient time enables students to think a question through before responding. The period of silence between your question and a student response is actually a positive.
Hold on to Thank You Notes
Maintain a folder in which to keep anything that is complimentary from your students and their parents. As you know, there will be times when you wonder if what you are doing is worthwhile. It will help to go through the compliments whenever you have this feeling.
