ABOUT US

SOAR® And StudySkills.Com Began From Seeds Of Frustration From A Former “Struggling Student.” Today, It Has Grown Into A Worldwide, Best-Selling Study Skills Curriculum!

Hi! We are co-founders of SOAR® Study Skills: Susan Kruger, M.Ed. (I’m the former struggling student) & my husband, Brian Willer, M.Ed. We each spent years as classroom teachers, living the pressure and demands of classroom teaching: overloaded curriculum, limited time, unmotivated students, always feeling like we weren’t quite doing enough... One thing that made a BIG difference, however, was empowering students to effectively manage their assignments, due dates, and study time by teaching them study skills.

We've been teaching study skills since 1996, when we were in college together. (We met on our first day of freshman year.) I had so much success with study skills during my first semester of college, I immediately began tutoring other students. Brian was there every step of the way, helping me hash through ideas, offering creative solutions to problems, and encouraging my students. As soon as we graduated, Brian began co-teaching after-school and enrichment study skills classes with me. Together, we’ve grown SOAR® to become an international, best-selling curriculum.

As educators by vocation, we are dedicated to ensuring that every student learns how to learn.
As former classroom teachers, we are dedicated to supporting educators who work tirelessly and give so much of themselves.
As parents of two children with ADHD & LD, we are dedicated to providing information and resources to families trying to get proper help for their children with "special needs."

We’ve carefully created a mission and values for SOAR®, StudySkills.com, and now How-To-Study.com that reflect the standards we’ve always supported for our own lives, in our own classrooms, and for our own family…
