Behave in class properly

Write good and legible notes

Make a study guide

You can also talk about the topic you are learning or read your textbook aloud to prepare for your lessons better and study more effectively.
Ask for help to understand better
Don`t be afraid to ask your teacher to explain you the material one more time if you don`t understand something. It won`t be humiliating! Your teacher will definitely appreciate your efforts afterwards. You can also ask your parents, classmates, friends, or paid tutors in case you have some difficulties with your assignments.
Don`t forget about your physical health
You should always remember that good physical health is the base of your academic excellence.
