So often, poor grades in high school are not a matter of intelligence. Rather, the student simply has never been taught how to learn. Widely acclaimed master teacher Tim McGee teaches not a specific topic but rather how to be a winning student in every subject. His methods of reading, writing, taking notes, preparing for exams, managing time, and getting ready to succeed in college really work. They have helped him produce a parade of honor students and scholarship winners from his own high school in small-town Wyoming. Now your own student can benefit from what this extraordinary teacher has to offer.
