Twelve lectures of thirty minutes each offering advice and techniques to students on how to improve basic study skills and develop a genuine enthusiasm for learning.

When a high school student has trouble learning a subject like math or history, the problem may lie not in the teacher's ability or the student's I.Q--often it is because the student has never been taught how to learn. The little town of Worland, Wyoming, produces a steady stream of honor students who win scholarships and get into top universities. In this series of lectures, Worland's "secret weapon," Dr. Tim McGee, illuminates how any student can build a foundation of achievement that will last a lifetime. Dr. McGee devotes the last two lectures to parents, with discussions on the best home educational environment and tips on finding the right college for your child.
