High School and University Study Guides by Dr Mark Lopez

High School and University Study Guides, by Dr Mark Lopez

Dr Mark Lopez is an expert private tutor, author, and astute media commentator on the state of education in Australia.

An education system, even an excellent one, presents students with many challenges. A flawed education system, as exists in Australia, presents additional challenges. Dr Mark Lopez is devoted to helping students and their families get the best out of an education system that offers benefits but also presents many potential pitfalls and injustices that could snare the unwary. Consequently, he has produced two innovative and invaluable STUDY GUIDES:

The Little Black Schoolbook, Volume 1 (Essays)
The Little Black Schoolbook, Volume 2 (Exams)

These study guides have helped many students succeed in the current Australian education system. They can be used to get a student successfully through high school and then through university.

Importantly, Dr Mark Lopez intended these study guides to provide the break though for those who were stuck and did not know where to turn or how to transcend their dilemma.

Students will discover how to become more self-reliant and how to put themselves securely in the driver’s seat of their educational journey. Students will also learn how to turn what previously held them back (like biased examiners) into advantages that propel them forward.

These publications are best purchased together and read sequentially, but they can also be ordered individually, and used however you wish, depending on your needs.

Dr Mark Lopez has directed some students making inquires about lessons to purchase the study guides, and, later, after their purchase, they rang back to say that they found the advice in them so valuable they did not need lessons.

Dr Mark Lopez uses the knowledge in these study guides continually in his lessons. However, to teach the material in these study guides would take more than 50 hours, yet both books can be purchased for under the price of one lesson, which makes them excellent value.

Dr Mark Lopez has also made available on this website helpful STUDY NOTES: ‘The Meaning in a Nutshell’, a series that provides concise statements of the meaning of specific English texts studied at school.
