Dr. Jones has more than 26 years of experience as an educator. He has designed the Seven Secrets of How to Study seminars to serve as a valuable learning tool. The vast majority of K-12 teachers, counselors and corporate trainers are concerned about student and employees struggle with learning new materials. The fact is that most schools and companies lack the study skills courses, which lay the foundation for learning. For example, U.S. Department of Education researchers indicate that the level of mathematics proficiency in calculus increases graduation rate potential by 80 percent. Students of all ages must learn how to study and how to respond to tests, which are used to measure performance. Dr. Jones provides training for student and staff of all ages. All training is based on an hourly rate. You can contact Dr. Jones at 610-842-3843. Here are options for implementing the program:

Testimonials

"At Valley Forge Military College we have some of the best and the brightest. However, we also have a few students who are very bright, but have yet learned how to learn. Some of the fundamental measures Dr. Jones advocates in his work are the exact basics we stress to our students. Those young men who understand and embrace the way of Dr. Jones will do well, graduate, and proceed to greater challenges and greater opportunities. Thank you Dr. Jones!"

"Congrats! On the success that you have made thus far. I purchased 3 books for my neices and my cousin. I wish that their was some way that you could do a lecture out of the Pennsylvania area. My neices live in California and they have benefited greatly from your book. By the way we were notified that my 15 year old neice is being listed in the Whose Who Among High School Students in America. Thanks to Dr. Jones."

On August 9th, 2004, Dr. Stephen Jones, author of Seven Secrets of How To Study, came to Valley Forge Military College to speak to 19 students. Out of the 19 students, 8 were already familiar with the text, due to the fact that it was the primary text for their English course for the summer. In the following statements, you will see the testimonials from the students following Dr. Jones’ guest appearance. I have also attached my own personal testimonial as the teacher of their class, Ms. Jenny Yoos.

“From the minute Dr. Jones began speaking, he immediately gained the attention of the nineteen Valley Forge Military College male cadets. Not only was he able to relate to them on a personal level, but a personal level as well. For example, he spoke to them of his own past experiences in life, as well as his overall advice to students. All of which he used in order to motivate them to succeed. In my personal opinion, Dr. Jones is a person who will continually strive to help those he comes into contact with. I would recommend his guidance to anyone because I found it to be extremely beneficial.” - - - Ms. Jenny Yoos

“Dr. Jones gave me some initiative by seeing everything he has accomplished in his life. It kind of pushes me to do more. I thought he was an overall good speaker and there was never a dull moment.” - - - Jon Naegli

“Dr. Jones was a great speaker who understands how teenagers work, study, and play.”
- - - Anonymous student

“Dr. Jones really made me as an individual feel there is hope for the future, from all the accomplishments he has received and worked hard for. He really gave me some very good insight on how to study and receive better grades.” - - - Thaddeus Mitchell

“I believe that Dr. Jones’ appearance yesterday was very eye-opening.” - - - Tyton Brunner

“Dr. Jones was a good guy and I felt like I could talk to him about anything. He was a well rounded person and was extremely helpful. He is a very good role model.” - - - Stuart Bateh

“I liked how Dr. Jones told us stories of his past to make it more interesting. I am positive that his talk will help bring my study habits up.” - - - Jake Bozek

“Thank you for taking the time to come talk to our class. Your speech was very motivational and I got a lot of helpful tips from you and your book. I think you are a very intelligent man, so thanks again.” - - - Tom Hildreth

“Dr. Jones was a great speaker. I knew coming into the room that I would enjoy his presentation. I enjoyed his speech so much that I might try to do motivational speeches on the side.” - - - Aaron Ancrum

“I thought Dr. Jones’ presentation was very useful in helping me with the way I am going to study this year. Also when he gave out his email address was great because if I ever needed advice or help with something

I really appreciate and admire your dedication to the
college and academic community and especially the African-American community as a whole. I was reading the atricle about how colleges are ill informing black students about the admission process and their lack of informing them about the scholarships available to them. This is an issue that must indeed be takem care of. I believe that you are working in the gap to well-inform those of us who don't know about these educational opportunities. Thank you very much.
