If your teen isn't doing well in school, it isn't because he's not bright enough. In fact, you're probably frustrated because you know just how bright he is -- but his intelligence isn't being reflected in his grades.

Research has shown that 95% of students have the native intelligence to master just about everything taught in high school and college. So the problem ISN'T "smarts." The problem is that most teens don't know how to study effectively. And that leads to disappointing results in school, discouragement, and negativity.

Does something like this sound familiar...?

Your teen is not doing as well in school as you and she would like, so she feels discouraged. This makes it harder for her to do the daily work -- which, of course, leads to poorer performance and more discouragement. It's a vicious cycle.

But once your teen experiences the power of practicing to mastery with effective study methods, everything changes.

Thanks to her newfound ability to master the material she's presented, her grades will improve. And because nothing is more motivating than success, when that happens, her attitude will transform before your eyes.

Suddenly, a teenager who had to be begged, cajoled, or coerced into going to school and doing homework will become a willing and excited learner -- a Power Learner.

We believe that an educated person is not someone who has just learned many things, but someone who has learned how to learn. Thus, the entire world of knowledge is open to a truly educated person.

At Power Learners, we are committed to creating as many educated people as we possibly can. We do this by coaching students as they practice the skills, strategies, tools, and techniques they need to take active responsibility for their own education.

Power Learners' tutors are located in the U.S. and Canada. They have been selected and trained to provide individual, intelligent and supportive coaching and advice. Our operations are under the personal supervision of Peter Lenn, our founder and managing director.

Peter is a former rocket scientist with degrees from M.I.T. He was the founder and CEO of American Analysis Corp. and Active Learning Inc. He also owned the private Independent Learning School in Marin County, CA, and has developed and conducted learning experiences for over 1 million young adults.
