    3. The 3 Skills Professors Wish Your High Schooler Knew Before College

    Are you wondering if your homeschool student will be ready for college academically? In this episode, university instructor and academic coach Emily Eaton shares the 3 skills professors wish every student knew before arriving on campus. Spoiler: most students don't learn these until they get there. Emily graduated with a 4.0 for both her undergraduate and MBA and was Outstanding Graduate for both degrees. She credits all of it directly to mastering these three skills. She covers note-taking strategies that actually work, why re-reading your notes is NOT studying (and what is), and a time management framework you can start teaching your student right now from middle school through high school. These are the same skills Emily teaches her own college students and helps homeschool families build through personalized coaching. Tune in to this episode -- your student will be thankful you did.
