"Ask questions and learn fast."

I believe if students start asking questions and not be afraid to attempt different question types, they will be able to learn fast. That was my style when I was a student. A little sharing on my learning style (perhaps it can help some students out here?) - I often get the materials that will be taught the next lesson beforehand, so if all possible, I would try my best to read up on some introduction and certain details of that topic. This will better prepare me for the next lesson in class as I will know what to expect and not be stunned. After a topic has been covered, I will get some practice on that topic either through school worksheets or assessment books. As the teacher moves on to newer topics, I will remind myself not to neglect older topics and do some revision by doing questions from older topics occasionally. I also believe that the main purpose of having tuition is to clarify your doubts that you had in school and improve from there. So what are you waiting for? Get a tutor to clarify your doubts and keep on improving yourself!
