Hello, my name is Ursula and I am passionate about helping students of all ages to do their very best academically. Learning should be a life long pleasure and not something, any student dreads. I spent several years working as a guidance counselor in South Africa, so I know how important effective study skills are and the difference it can make to a students academic career. Study Companions overall aim is to help you succeed academically. The world is a competitive place, and you need every advantage you can get.

How can study companion help with this? Firstly, you can use the information available on this site to help you improve your study skills. look through our list of study skills and where you believe you need to improve or learn a new skill, read more about that skill. Use the links provided to gain additional information about the skill/s. Then, of course, you need to practice your new skill/s, as learning is more than just reading. As with every skill, competence takes time. Please let us know if our site helped you.

Secondly, if you feel that you need one on one help, please contact me for study skills lessons. The lessons will be online and we can use any of the following video platforms; Zoom, Google Meet or Skype. Just let me know which one you are most comfortable with. My details are on the Comment and Contact page. We can then meet, online and to discuss the when, where and what skills you need help with.
