Home - Organising Students

Does any of this sound familiar?

So you have a son or daughter who is a student and sometimes you’re not sure they’re on top of things, and not sure how to help? They:

seem unsure of what homework needs to be completed and when it is due
they are struggling with getting the marks they are capable of in tests or exams
seem overwhelmed, get anxious and not sure where to start?
struggle with time and the management of a student planner/diary or don't use anything at all
works late until the night before in order to complete a task
sometimes or regularly miss project/assignment deadlines
don’t appear to understand the difference between homework and study/revision
are irritable, snappy and stressed or quiet and withdrawn
have a cluttered and disorganised desk or bedroom
have a school bag or locker full of ‘stuff’, the contents of which is largely unknown to them or anyone else
have piles of papers and notes that don't appear to be organised in anyway
spend a lot of time looking for information
get distracted easily and/or procrastinate
tell you that you nag too much and to leave them alone they have it in hand.

There is a solution!

Academic Life Coaching

Organising Students is about equipping students with simple and effective tools & strategies in organisation, time management and study 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. Each student is unique and our program is tailored to the individual needs of the student – there is no one size fits all approach!

As an Academic Life Coach, and also commonly referred to as an Executive Function Coach, Amanda, asks 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 tools and strategies to suit them. The end goal is ensuring they can be in charge of their own learning and take control.

Most students have an inherent desire to learn and succeed and these programs are designed for those who are ready to improve themselves but simply don’t know how to go about it. Organising Students also coaches & supports parents and conducts workshops/webinars for students, parents and teachers in & outside of the school environment.

“One of my contractors told me about Amanda and her services and raved about her. I asked for her number because I could see how incredibly useful she could be to me and my business. But she turned out to be much more! A truly multi-dimensional woman, who has so many different skills sets. She has been invaluable to me, both with my business and with my family. Not only did she assist with developing systems and processes for my business, she has also started working 1:1 with my secondary school aged children. With my twins in the process of completing Year 11, Amanda quickly identified the key areas of time management, organisation and study skills they could benefit from learning. She is now working with them to equip them with the all the necessary tools and strategies to set them on a path for success both academically and for life. I cannot recommend Amanda more highly and look forward to working with her for a long time to come.”

I just wanna say that I listened to Rob Cugno’s podcast that you featured in on my way to the airport this morning and it was amazing! So honoured to have been able to have your guidance throughout year 11 and 12! Every year 12 student can learn so much off you and gain skills for life! You’ve had a marvellous career and will continue to have one! Thanks for everything!
