For the college woman who knows college is about more than just her grades.
It’s a reclamation of what it means to be smart, what it means to be a good student and what it means to be brilliant and successful.
Earn better grades, get the most out of college and graduate
without spending the next 2-4 years feeling like you need to give up your whole life to succeed in college.
These are the signs you’re struggling as a student
You often feel like you're not good enough
… and question if you’re smart enough for college
You're always worried about what you did NOT dO
… and even when you’re doing it all, it doesn’t feel like it’s enough.
You’ve failed at least 1 class or struggle with the constant fear failure
… the thoughts about not doing things “right” never stops.
You're exhausted and burntout but you're afraid to slow down and take time for yourself
… because what will that say about the kind of student you are and you can’t afford to be 5 steps behind when you’re already barely keeping up.
You feel like school isn’t going as well as it could
You’re consumed with anxiety
… because you’re under a ton of pressure to get this college and life balance thing down. You can’t decide whether to cook, do house work, study, nap or cry and you’re tired of constantly getting in your own way and letting yourself and everyone else around you down.
It sucks spending all this time and money on your college education and hating the entire experience because you can’t figure out what to do to succeed and enjoy your life outside of lecture.
It’s not your fault. You’re a product of a flawed system that has convinced you that there is some ideal level of intellectual perfection we’re all supposed to live up to.

Let’s Take A Look At the
Study School Syllabus
Prep WORK: Dreaming, Goal Setting, getting into the right mindset and learning the tools to stop getting in your own way.
Before we get to all the Study Skills work in Study School we have to make sure you’re not going to self-sabotage and actually stick to the study routines we help you create. We’ll spend some time doing the deep mindset and emotional work that will make sure you escape the all-or-nothing mindset and learn how to break free of perfectionism, without sacrificing success when things start hitting the fan and rev up in the semester.
Lesson 1: Decoding Your Classes + Your Professor
The first week of study school is all about cracking the code of how to get B+’s and above on all of your exams, papers and group projects.
Learn 3 common places your professor reveals what will be on their exams.
What to say to your professor to get them to tell you exactly what and how to study to ace their exams and write better papers.
Get templates for email and in person conversations you can use with your professors so they’ll respond with helpful and positive feedback that won’t make you feel stupid and insecure.
How to prioritize your reading and assignments between all of your classes so your professor believes you spend hours preparing for their lecture.
Lesson 2: Writing Notes You Can Understand
Get the most out of your lectures and reading so that you stop rewriting the books and guessing what’s important and what’s not.
My method for writing notes in technical or math courses in case the professor decides to throw a question that doesn’t look exactly like the problem you wrote down in class.
Lesson 3: Create Your Signature Study Guide and Plan
Strategically spend less time studying without letting your goals of making the Dean’s list die by learning what to physically do during all of your study time.
The in’s and out’s of using the #1 study method of top students.
Lesson 4: Fix Your Failed Exams
Tweak and adjust your study methods if you happen to get a lower grade than you hoped.
How to go over your exam or paper with your professor without feeling stupid.
What to change in your study routine to pass your next exam.
How to ask for help, get extra credit and utilize the tutoring center the right way.
Lesson 5: Study Groups That Work
Study groups are a great way to break the monotony of studying, boost your grades and prevent procrastination but only if they’re run right.
Dividing up work for group projects and dealing with students not doing their part.
Lesson 6: Map Out Your Papers and Final Exam Study Plans
The end of the semester can get crazy overwhelming with multiple assignments + exams due in the same week. This is how to handle it all without feeling like you’re drowning.
How to bring up your grade to passing in the final stretch.

Listen to what past students are saying about
their experience in Study School!
Since working with Clarissa in Study School I have been able to feel more confident in myself and my study routine. I feel like I know what to do even when things are difficult, and I’m more confident about reaching out for help and asking for what I need. I believe in myself again!
-Makenna
Since working with Clarissa in Study School I’m more organized and have a study schedule. My study schedule allows me to tackle the most important tasks first and work my way down to my to-do list. It has been the best investment I have ever made and my grades have improved dramatically.

We’ll be sending you the 2019-2020 Academic Year (Aug-July) College Productivity Kit. The College Productivity Kit is not your average academic planner. It’s not just a place for you to write down all your due dates and exams, it’s a study tool designed to help you get better grades without the stress, overwhelm and lack of social life.
Each page in the kit was intentionally included to help you set and achieve your academic goals. The College Productivity Kit will help you make the dean’s list and still have plenty of free time to gain life experiences that land you the letters of recommendation you’ll need to get into grad school or land an incredible job post graduation.

There is nothing better than being able to talk through some of the academic questions you have 1:1 with someone and have them give you incredible advice and suggestions that help you increase your grades. Each student will get a full hour that is focused on them with Clarissa or one of our other academic life coaching.
Because of Study School I now have a study routine for each of my exams. Never in a million years did I think I would get such a high mark on my final exams.
-Lara
After finishing Study School I now take a more holistic approach versus focusing on grades alone. My study routines incorporate built-in breaks and free time, exercise 2-3 times a week, 7-8 hours of regular sleep (prior to I was averaging around 4-5 hours) and I finished off the semester with A’s and 1 B.
-Jasmine
How would it change your life if you could show up prepared for lecture and have a simple study plan you can use to understand and retain the material to earn A’s and B’s with ease?
Imagine if you could finally spend time with your friends. What if you could enjoy reading something other than journal articles, hit the gym, watch tv, work on growing and trusting yourself, and take a whole weekend off of studying without the guilty thoughts, “I should be studying. I’m not doing enough”
Once you learn The mindset and study skills we teach, you’ll be able to create a stress free college and life experience that you won’t want to escape from.
Is Study School right for you?
I created study school specifically for college woman with the following qualities.
She wants to earn better grades, take back control, learn how show up for herself over and over again. She wants to get over all her self doubt and confusion and be super clear about her path.
She stays focused on the possibility of solutions rather than staying stuck in a victim mindset about her current circumstance. She doesn’t give up easily, isn’t afraid of hard work and is determined to get her degree.
She is open to learning how to be driven more by consistently improving and squeezing out every ounce of potential inside of her than always getting it right (perfectionist this program is for you boo because I’m going to teach you how to stop doing this!)
She doesn’t put limits on what she can be, do and have. When situations get rough, she stays open to possibility and will do whatever it takes to step into her brilliance and see herself succeed.
You can “test” Study School for 30 days
If you join Study School and are not happy with the results we will issue you a refund. We have a very strict 30 day refund policy. That begins once the current round of Study School officially starts. In order to qualify for a refund you do have to prove that you’ve done the work and completed the study school assignments.
I ask that you only join Study School if you’re seriously committed to getting better grades this semester.
By enrolling in Study School you agree to the terms and conditions on this page.
**We do not offer refunds just because you believe you didn’t have time to work though it or because of financial strain.
You might have some questions:
Do I really need to spend money on this, can't I just google study skills?
You absolutely can. I have no doubt that you will achieve everything you want this semester.
The question you have to ask yourself is this… why haven’t you done it successfully already?
It will take extra time and work, but you can do it. You’re going to have to take the time to research and also apply these new skills. You’ll have to be willing to fail as you figure out what exactly works.
Do you really have time to do all that and study for your classes, work, and hang out with your friends?
Do you have the time and money for an extra semester or year in college because you failed so many classes as you were trying to figure it out on your own.
The beauty of Study School is that I’ve done the research for you. A whole 2 years worth of research and then another 2 years helping other students apply is successfully. I’ve pulled out all the true gems of study skills that I used to go from F’s to A’s and packaged it together in a simple step-by-step process you can use to build your own routine.
Will this actually work for me?
Our commitment is to bring you the very best of what works in getting better grades, making the dean’s list and dominating your college education. We don’t recommend anything that we have not used successfully with students. When you fully and wholeheartedly apply the methods we will teach you, your grades will improve over time.
What if I'm non-traditional student that lives off campus and works --- will your skills help me?
You’d better believe they will. Most of the past students in Study School are non-traditional students who are working full time or part-time are living on their own and some are even moms. Clarissa actually worked 30+ hours per week when she was in nursing school and commuted to and from school. The strategies you will learn are the exact ones she and hundreds of other students have used to pass all of their exams while only studying a couple of hours at a time.
I'm nervous to make this investment. Do you offer payment plans?
I understand what it feels like to see an experience that can absolutely make an impact on your life this semester and feel nervous about committing.
I’ve been doing this long enough to know that usually money isn’t the issue, it’s just an easy excuse. Really what is behind the hesitation is a fear that this will be another thing you fail at. Fear that you’re not good enough, smart enough or capable enough for this to work.
And the reason why you are afraid to invest is the exact reason I created Study School….
Yes you will learn study strategies. Yes you will learn how to manage your time. Yes you will learn how to read your textbooks. Yes you will learn how to write notes but more importantly you learn this…
How to be the kind of woman who when she sets her heart on a goal, she can trust herself to follow through and achieve it.
Yes we freaking do offer payment plans! You can choose between one payment of $997 or 4x monthly payments of $274.25. We are unable to offer more extended payment plans at this time.
Am I ready for the Honor Society?
Is the Honor Society right for me? You can benefit from the Honor Society no matter where you’re at in college right now. The goal of the Honor Society is to get you getting better grades faster than you will by doing the program alone. Every Study School student can benefit from the one-to-one attention provided. Any student who pays in full will automatically be a part of the Honor Society and get 1:1 sessions.
What if I can’t make it to some or any of the live Q&A calls and Study Hall?
We completely understand that not everyone can attend the live calls because of your different class schedules, which is why they are recorded for you to watch later and placed on the Study School dashboard.
You have the option of getting 1:1 support via our discussion which is checked daily Mon-Fri. You will also be able to submit your questions in advance so that you can get the answer on the recording.
A lot of students say that even though they couldn’t attend live, their question was almost always answered when another student asked it and that they learned a lot from seeing other students coached on the call when they watched the replay.
Does my major matter? I know your background is in Science mine isn't will Study School still work for me?
Yes! Study School is not major or subject specific. It’s not a tutoring program. A tutor helps students understand and breakdown a specific subject, like polynomials or Plato’s theories.
Study School teaches you the study skills and strategies for you to be able to do that on your own.
Simply put, it helps college women like you with the overall learning process. You will receive guidelines on how to approach college work and useful habits and tools that can help you tackle challenges when they occur.
