Online courses are easy to start and easy to drop. The trick is to treat them like a real class. Choose two or three fixed times each week and put them on your phone calendar. Tell a friend or parent what you are working on so someone can ask how it is going.
Do not try to finish everything in one weekend. One lesson a day adds up quickly, and you will remember more of it.
Finish the small lesson today. Big courses are only many small lessons in a row. Lerato Molefe, Study Group CoordinatorIf you fall behind, do not quit. Come to an online session or a study group at Leerkring, and we will help you catch up on the lessons you missed.
Set a simple weekly plan
Decide how many lessons you will finish each week and write the number down. Keep a quiet corner for study, even if it is only a table after supper. Switch off notifications while you watch a lesson. After each one, write three things you learned. This keeps the course fresh in your mind.
Ask for help early
Stuck on a topic? Do not wait a month. Send a message to your tutor on WhatsApp on 082 555 0327 or join a Leerkring study group in Kimberley. Learners who ask early usually finish their courses and feel much more confident.

Good advice from people who clearly know learners. The part about studying on a small budget was very useful for us in Galeshewe. Well done, Leerkring.
