Tips on how to adjust to the new school, new class

Did you know that any new environment can affect your academic performance?

This could be a new school, new class, new teacher, new subjects, new classmates or even new sitting positions in class.

Here are some tips that will guide you adjust to the new situations mentioned:

Make sure you clearly, ask your teachers to give you another seat before it is too late.

If your neighbours in class are noise makers and playful, inform your teachers before you become like them. This does not mean you should not participate in class by asking and answering questions.

Listen to your teachers all the time. Teachers love obedient children. They will be more than willing to help you out in case you have a challenge. For example if the teacher is too fast for you, he can always give you remedial lessons so that you catch up with the rest.

Make sure you do all your classwork and homework for better results because this is an indirect way of doing revision.
