Hi, my name is Matt, and I will be your tutor for this course: Academic Skills 101. I remember in my early days how I failed horribly my first year at university. After observing successful fellow students, reading books about learning strategies, and trying out new techniques of my own, I've discovered the traits and habits successful students possess to graduate with flying colors. Now I'm a Master of Science, a candidate in the CFA program, and CEO of my own company. I feel excited and ready to pass on these proven learning techniques and academic skills to you.

By understanding what you need to do to get better grades and pass your exams, your motivation and confidence will grow considerably. Higher education is not easy, make sure you are well prepared for this challenge!
