I know the study methods in this book work. After two semesters of college I gave up and left school - Calculus had crushed me. I lost my confidence, my future, myself. Then I found these study methods and decided to give school another try. I went back and for the first time in my life I was a straight A student and truly understood what I was studying. This continued through graduation. I tutored math through college and I am a math tutor today. This would not have happened without these study methods and it is vital that all students learn them." Mary Lewis, a math tutor in Torrance, California, consistently turns failing math students into winning math students, who now understand math and get As and Bs.

"The joy that I get to see in a student's face as it lights up because he has just understood something in his studies that he has had a confusion on his whole life is a joy I wish other teachers could experience, and the rewards of hearing from students that clearing up the meanings of words is the only way to learn are uplifting and are just some of the the benefits fo using the book Learning How to Learn".
