You’ve been taught what to learn, but not how to actually succeed in higher education.

Which is kinda a big problem when, as an adult learner, you’re expected to:

  • manage studying alongside work and real life

  • learn huge amounts of complex material, with a brain that may not have been in formal education for years (or decades!)

  • write high-quality assignments with little more than vague feedback and crossed fingers.

This is where academic strategy comes in.

Hey, I’m Chloe, an Academic Strategist for adult learners.

I help those studying alongside work and life develop the strategies they need to succeed, without burning out.

I’m here to show you that, with the right strategies and support, ANYONE can achieve academic success – no matter your educational history.

The reason I know this? Because I was that struggling student who nearly walked away from education altogether. But, in a kinda wild plot twist that included running away to the other side of the world, I went on to achieve a First-class degree as a mature student, while working full-time AND still having time for fun.

And I’ve spent the last decade helping thousands of adult learners do the same.

I teach practical, actually-realistic study strategies you can use to get the results you need without studying taking over your life.

If you want to…

    Figure out the best way to study for your brain and schedule

    Study strategically so you’re making progress each week rather than slipping further into the pit of overwhelm and despair

    Hit those grade goals while studying less each week

Hi, hello, welcome, you’re in exactly the right place.

  • “I left school with average GCSE results and always thought I wasn’t clever enough”

    “I returned to learning 15 years later for an access to nursing course and found I could actually achieve academically in a supportive learning environment. But never have I actually been taught HOW to study, HOW to write, and now, since finding you, it’s all starting to click into place.”

    Lisa | Veterinary Nursing student

  • “It’s all down to you and the study skills you’ve instilled in this ol’ head!”

    “Results day has brought a massive, tear-inducing surprise – an enormous improvement in grade for my final submission. To improve my grades from their lowest at 56 to 75, I’m OVER THE FREAKING MOON. I’m so, so grateful for everything, especially the cheerleading when I didn’t really believe in myself.”

    Sarah | Psychology student

  • “Finding you and following your advice was my saving grace”

    “Thank you so much for offering so much support for educating me in how to learn. I am so pleased to say that I managed to get a Distinction in my final module, which pushed me over the line to a First Class degree. I know I gave it my all but, with your help, it all suddenly clicked into place.”

    Liz | English Literature and Language student
