QuestionHow can I help my girlfriend study consistently?Ronitte Libedinsky is an Academic Tutor and the Founder of Brighter Minds SF, a San Francisco, California based company that provides one-on-one and small group tutoring. Specializing in tutoring mathematics (pre-algebra, algebra I/II, geometry, pre-calculus, calculus) and science (chemistry, biology), Ronitte has over 12 years of experience tutoring to middle school, high school, and college students. She also tutors in SSAT, Terra Nova, HSPT, SAT, and ACT test prep. Ronitte holds a BS in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, and an MS in Chemistry from Tel Aviv University.My best advice is to help her create a schedule and encourage her to stick with it. It could be a paper calendar, or a digital calendar on Google or something. Have her map out each day's studying plan. Then, help her jot down all of the major assignments she has coming up. Often, just getting in the habit of planning to study will help make it happen!
