Engineering Learning Strategists Mehnaz Tabassum and Shahad Abdulnour can help you better understand how you learn, consider different learning styles and strategies, and enhance your overall academic success. They can provide expert guidance on how to tailor your approach to more effectively meet your learning goals and optimize your study skills with useful time and stress management tools, approaches to increasing motivation and focus, strategies to deal with procrastination and distractions, and more.
