Skills and strategies for study and life

Organising Students is about equipping students with simple and effective organisational skills which are key to their success and enjoyment at school and in life.

We work individually with students to develop a personal organisational approach that will work for them and help them take responsibility for their school work, activities and time.

In my role as an academic coach I ask students questions to assess what they do and don't know rather than jumping right in and solving the "problem". Often they know more than they realise and its about building up their tool box with the right tips and strategies to suit them.

Organising Students also conducts workshops for both students and parents either in or outside of the school environment.

“Amanda ran a to the point transition workshop that helped both parents and students understand what to expect from secondary school. Amanda was very friendly, easy going and likeable, allowing parents and students the opportunity to speak freely about their concerns. Students and parents left the workshop with a smile on their face and with a better indication of what to expect in the year to come”

“I liked the way Amanda made me feel, comfortable and at ease. She listened to me and she understood what help I needed. She made a plan for me which I found easy to follow and helpful. I went from feeling overwhelmed to in control of my schedule.

My study at home was dark and quite cluttered and she suggested to my parents that they change it to be lighter and fresher, which they did. I now have my own study space that enables me to work quietly and happily in.

It is now the new school year and I am looking forward to meeting with Amanda to help me again to plan out my busy schedule. Thanks Amanda for all of your help!”
