Learning Strategist

Learning Strategies are instructional strategies to help students attend, listen, read, comprehend, and study more effectively in order to achieve successful task completion.  Strategies are established on the student’s individual learning style and needs.  These strategies include: improved memory, writing techniques, reading comprehension techniques, organizational and test taking skills.

RSGC offers Learning Strategies Support Services (to students with identified documented learning needs) to enhance the instructional needs of students and to provide students with ongoing support while continuing their academic studies.  For further information, please contact, Ms Janet Stephenson (Junior School) or Ms. S. Lanigan (Senior School).
