Like many students across the world, you’ve most likely been making the shift from in-person to online classes. This transition may be a little daunting, especially if you’ve never taken an online class before. As someone who switched to virtual learning almost three years ago, I remember that feeling. Over time, I developed the following five strategies to become successful.
Make Yourself Comfortable
While there are some disadvantages to online learning, the fact that you get to set up your study space is a plus. If it helps you concentrate, turn on some music. Do school work from the comfort of your favorite chair or from your bed! Make some snacks, whatever you need to feel relaxed and ready to work.Limit Distractions
One of the biggest struggles of doing school from home is that it requires a lot of self-motivation. Instead of going to class at specific times, you can do your work wherever you want. It’s hard to make yourself do school work if you are surrounded by things and people vying for your attention.Make sure that your workspace is designed to limit those distractions as much as possible. Close the door to your room. Tell everyone in your house, “I’m going to work on my English class now, please don’t interrupt me.”
