Letters to a New Student is a study skills book with a twist. You decide how to read it.

Based ON a series of short, informal, problem page letters that you can read in any order, the book uses principles of human psychology, teaching, AND coaching practice to offer a refreshing approach to study skills AND learning techniques. The letters form a brief ‘survive AND thrive’ study guide to work smarter not harder AND offer advice ON topics such as motivation, stress, revision, AND assignments. It’s a tried-and-tested, blueprint to make information stick with less effort.

The book takes a holistic approach to learning. It covers health AND wellbeing, the ‘nuts-and-bolts’ shortcuts, the obstacles, AND the pitfalls.
