by Mike Johnson — 35-year teacher, 20 years in learning support

What's inside

20 pages. How to teach your child to study their own struggle.

The difference between failure as verdict and failure as data
A 4-question debrief your child can run themselves after any setback
How to build the self-study habit without it feeling like more homework

Who this is for

Best for parents who…

Have tried interventions and tutors and nothing stuck
Can see their child's gifts but don't know how to activate them at home
Want a system they can run without a PhD in special education

"35 years.
Thousands of families.
One system."

— Mike Johnson, learning support educator
