A method for instructing a student under the direction of a director allows the student to augment his or her core curriculum with tutorials relating to a non-core curriculum such as business administration. The method uses multiple modules in specific topical areas of study. The method may be environment specific so that the student can readily identify and incorporate the non-core curriculum into practice. The non-core curriculum is designed to be appropriate for the level at which the student has obtained. In that regard, the topical areas of study and the modules are organized to introduce concepts and skills at points in the core curriculum of the student that are appropriate to help facilitate maximum absorption. A reporting mechanism will provide the student and director with valuable information regarding the performance of the student.
