The “How to Succeed in College Even If You Work Part-Time to Full Time” crash course your school should’ve offered you.

Study School is for the working college student who wants to earn A’s and B’s but doesn’t want to put the rest of her adult life on hold every time a new semester starts.

Earn better grades, get the most out of college and graduate without spending the next 2-4 years feeling like you gave up your whole adult life to succeed in college..

As a non-traditional working college student balancing college, a job & every day life is already stressful and overwhelming but College can really suck when…

9

You spent your whole weekend studying for an exam only to find out you failed it anyway.

9

You’ve rewritten your notes for the 3rd time but you still feel like you're missing all the key points of lecture.

9

You’ve gone to every lecture, finally finished all the readings and even looked over the study guide your professor provided, but you still got a 65 on your test.

9

No matter how many hours you put into studying each week you constantly feel unprepared for every exam.

9

Last night during your study session you knew the information like the back of your hand and today during the exam you feel like you've never seen any of this before.

None of this is your fault.

The problem here is, you probably were never taught how to study.

This is common for students especially if they were the “smart girl” in high school without having to try that hard.

The thing is – college challenges you on a level that High School doesn’t. The vibes and expectations in college are just different.

While in High School you might have expected the teacher to give you and teach you everything you needed to know to succeed, in college you’re actually expected to do a lot of the learning yourself.

Which means, the bulk of the work needed to learn the basics and do well in class is your responsibility. And it’s going to require a different way of studying than you were used to in high school.

But most college women like you don’t know what new study skills they need to learn and use for each of their different classes so that they get A’s. 

Right now there is a mismatch

between the amount of energy and hours you’re spending studying and the grades you’re actually getting.

everything you’ve tried to do to fix it is only eating up more of your time.

9

Searching Youtube for the perfect study routine

9

Buying planner after planner and spending ours planning out your week

9

Creating flashcards

9

Re-reading your textbook and powerpoints

9

Rewriting your notes and making your notes perfect

Wasting time on all of these things that are supposed to help are they exact reason why…

9

You often feel like you're not good enough… and question if you’re smart enough for college

9

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.

9

You’ve failed at least 1 class or struggle with the constant fear of failure… the thoughts about not doing things “right” never stops.

9

You're exhausted and burnt out 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 can’t afford to keep taking out student loans for another semester in college. 

9

You feel like school isn’t going as well as it could… and you have no idea what to do to turn your grades around.

9

You’re consumed with anxiety…

because you’re under a ton of pressure to get this college and life balance thing down and graduate already. 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.

When you’re ready to get A’s and B’s and stop guessing which study skills actually work so that you can finally have a weekend and a life while in college, it’s time for…

IMAGINE ONLY STUDYING 2 HOURS THE WEEKEND BEFORE YOUR EXAM.

HANGING OUT GUILT FREE WITH YOUR PARTNER/FRIENDS,

AND STILL BEING ABLE TO WALK INTO YOUR EXAM ON MONDAY MORNING FEELING SUPER CONFIDENT THAT YOU’RE GOING TO KILL IT. AND YOU DO!

You don’t have to sacrifice one for the other.

I will teach you how to create an entire study routine that only takes 2 hours and gets you A’s and B’s without having to cut back your work hours or give up your weekends.

“Prior to working with Clarissa I was struggling with knowing when I knew that I had studied enough to do well on a test and how to study for different style of classes. Since our first session I now know how to tell if I am ready to take a test and how to prepare for the different types of classes I may encounter. I feel as if I am more productive and have more time to learn information. It is obvious how much she cares about her students.”
Victoria Ayoola, New Jersey
Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience, Senior
“Prior to working with Clarissa I had just graduated from medical school and was struggling with how to approach studying for my board exams. Literally in the first 12 minutes of us chatting, she revealed to me where my weakest areas are and what I needed to focus on to improve my current score as I study for the Medical Boards.I have been getting between 80-90% on the 10 Question blocks. Before I was usually in the 60%. Clarissa really makes the learning environment effortless. You will feel so comfortable and not judged.”
Jayoma Perera, Canada
Medical School Graduate
“Prior to working with Clarissa I struggled with test taking strategies and was dealing with feelings of being a failure. My grade went from a “C” to a “B” after only 2 sessions. The biggest change was having Clarissa as a cheerleader rooting for me. When a person has a support system (like her) it does something to your self-esteem and boost self-confidence.”
Belinda Thompson, Hollywood, FL
Nursing Student, 3rd semester

Imagine what this semester could be like if…

9

You take detailed notes that help you understand the materials with ease.

9

You know exactly what to study to ace every exam without feeling like you’re stabbing in the dark because you don’t know what the professor really wants.

9

You have a clear, detailed weekly plan on how to work through multiple chapters to prepare for your exams, have a date night with your partner and make it to the gym.

9

You’re focused and motivated when you study and work on every assignment.

9

You finish studying or writing your paper full 48-72 hours before it’s due and know that you have the material down pat and that paper is the best you’ve ever written.

9

You’re not stressed, overwhelmed, or having to choose between studying and living your life because you know exactly how to manage your time and that you can succeed without all of the harried last-minute cramming.

9

You don’t have the nerves and panic when you go to take your exams because you feel fully prepared and on fire with confidence about how prepared you are.

This doesn’t come naturally. It takes time to balance success at college and life. But this is totally possible for you.

I know because I’ve done it.

I’m Clarissa Guillen

I went from failing out of 7 classes to graduating with honors while working 2 jobs… and I’ve helped hundreds of other college students do the same and it wasn’t because our IQs jumped.

 

We just learned the study routines, time management and mindset skills needed to do college better.

Let’s Take A Look At the
Study School Syllabus

DESIGNING YOUR DREAM SEMESTER: Dreaming, Goal Setting, getting into the right mindset and learning the tools to stop getting in your own way.

Most college students spend the semester in the energy of reaction instead of in the energy of creation. Which is why they end up uninspired, unmotivated, and burnt out by midterms. Before we help you create your 2-hour study routine in Study School, we have to make sure you’re not going to self-sabotage, burnout, and that you actually have the energy and motivation to stick to the 2-hour study routine we help you create.

The first thing we’ll focus on in Study School is getting clarity around what you want to create this semester. Then we’ll jump into the deep mindset and emotional work that will make sure you escape the all-or-nothing mindset, let go of imposter syndrome and learn how to break free of perfectionism and procrastination that keep you stuck. We don’t want you repeating the pattern of sacrificing your success, your self-care, and mental health when things start getting busy and hard in the semester. 

Becoming Brilliant Straight-A Method: Learning how to get A’s and B’s For Good

95% of students overcomplicate studying. This is why it feels like you put in all this time and effort and your grades don’t match up. We’re going to teach you the power of having a simple 3 step study routine you can repeat over and over and over for ANY class and EVERY level of higher education to earn A’s and B’s without spending more than 2 hours studying for each class.

We’re going to simplify taking notes. We’re going to take the confusion out of how to manage your time. And finally, we’re going to show you exactly what it looks like to study in a way that you’re never stuck on how to answer exam questions, write out discussion prompts, projects, or 30+ page papers.  Simple 2-hour study routines are the secret to getting A’s and B’s and we’re going to show you how to build one. 

The Brilliant Mindset: How to go from just planning to taking consistent action

Now that you know what your goals are and you have a simple 2- hour study routine to help you reach those goals this semester, I’ll teach you how to follow through and consistently show up for your new routine. Mindset is the part of you that keeps you in self-doubt, fear, and unworthiness. It’s the part of you that carries stories about what you believe you are or are not capable of. Working on shifting your mindset is the most important part of the equation in becoming the most brilliant and best version of yourself.

I will teach you how to have your own back, clear the thought patterns and mindset blocks keeping you from stepping into your brilliance and show you how to make any habit or goal you have for yourself as good as done!

YOU WILL ALSO GET THESE BONUSES!

S.O.S Coaching Calls
(Save Our Study Routines)

Every month in the semester and more often during The start of the semester, Midterms and Finals, you’ll get the opportunity to receive live mindset coaching and study strategy feedback from Clarissa to help you get unstuck and into action so that you can get back to studying, stick to your routines and raise your grades to A’s and B’s during the more busy and stressful times of the semester.

YOU AREN’T ALONE IN FEELING THE PRESSURE

Hot Mess Hannah

MAYBE YOU’re like HOT MESS HANNAH before an exam…

9

She originally had a plan to keep up with the reading, making notes, and asking for help but didn't end up sticking to it.

9

She automaticaly goes into excitement then panic mode.

9

She fell behind in this class trying to catch up on reading for another class she had an exam in last Friday.

9

She spends hours on YouTube last night watching Study with Me videos to see if there was a tip that would help to get a go on this exam with ease.

9

But all the strategies are overwhelming, so she ends up watching Netflix instead.

9

She stays up all night trying to read, take notes, and study 150 pages worth of Powerpoint slides and textbook readings.

9

Has no idea what to focus on, what to prioritize, and jumping from chapter to chapter feeling completely lost.

9

On the day of the exam she is exhausted, running on one hour of sleep, and when she opens up with exam - it's like nothing she studied so hard on was even on it.

But with Study school you could be like A HIGh- PERFORMING HEATHER before an exam…

9

Calm, cool, collected, and confident about this exam

9

She has proven Study Routines and Habits that she has been following since day one.

9

She works from checklists when she sits down to study so she knows when she can stop.

9

She only spends 2-4 hours a day studying outside of lecture, knowing exactly what to focus on to keep up, so that the three days leading up to the exam feel like a quick review.

9

Her days just flow for her. College isn't her whole life. She's balancing a 3.8 GPA, part-time job, friendships, a relationship, and her hobbies with ease.

9

She trusts that everything she has done up until this point has completely prepared her to do well on her exam and courses and of course she does!

High-Performing Heather

Don’t just take my word for it…

LISTEN TO WHAT PAST STUDENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE IN STUDY SCHOOL!

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.

-Marielly

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, Or work on growing and trusting yourself without the guilty thought of:

“I should be studying”

Once you learn The mindset, Time management and study skills we teach,  you’ll be able to create a stress free college experience that you want to be engaged in.

IS STUDY SCHOOL RIGHT FOR YOU?

I created study school specifically for college woman with the following qualities.

9

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. 

9

She doesn’t give up easily, isn’t afraid of hard work and is determined to get her degree (Associates, Bachelors or Masters+)

9

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.

9

She understands the impact passing her courses will have on her college education. How it will impact her career, income, self confidence and the life she will live.

9

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  (perfectionists, this program is for you boo because I’m going to teach you how to stop doing this!)

9

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.

“I was struggling with the change from high school to university and realized I had to change my study habits and fast. I was looking for advice online but everything seemed to say “do this” on one site and “don’t do that” on another site. I was very conflicted on what works and what doesn’t. Then I heard about this program and decided to invest to help me sort all of this out. I’m glad Clarissa taught me to add more free time into my day to keep myself sane. Also, the final exam prep workshop in conjunctions with personalized study skills really helped with my exams.”
Breanna, Canada
“I knew that I needed a switch in my life. Everything that Clarissa had accomplished with school, I needed to accomplish. The best part was that she went through the same things, I am going through. So I knew she could guide me and assist me with overcoming them. Since working with Clarissa, I’ve noticed that I’m very organized now. I don’t miss any assignments because they’re all listed for me in one place. I know how to plan out my time so I can maximize my day . If I ever fall off, I know it can be done. She’s equipped me with the tools to catch back up.”
A’Shanti, LA
“I was having a hard time balancing everything in all areas and a major struggle for me was telling people no. Since working with Clarissa, I now know how to set up a plan and stick to it. I make time for studying instead of cramming. I believe Clarissa can help and inspire anyone the way she did me. She was easy to talk to and so nice and really cares about the person she’s helping. I saw actual results and I’m sure anybody else would too.”
Victoria, LA

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… isn’t googling what you’ve been doing already?

Why haven’t you figured it out yet?

Yes, doing it on your own 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 $797 or 12 bi-weekly payments of $77. We are unable to offer more extended payment plans at this time.

What if I can’t make it to some or any of the live S.O.S Calls?

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 Ask A Study Strategy and Time Management Coach 24/7 Feedback forum 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! Even if you’re not getting your bachelor’s or you’re not a science major you will learn how to create a study routine for your courses!

Study School is not major, college level or subject specific. It’s not a tutoring program. A tutor helps students understand and breakdown a specific subject or covers what was taught in lecture.

Study School teaches you the study skills and strategies for you to be able to do that on your own. How sweet will it be to not have to always rely on someone else to understand what you’re learning or to complete your HW + practice problems. How amazing would it be to be able to rely on yourself for motivation or to think your way through problems and create out of the box solutions not just for your schedule or own confusion. Imagine how much better of a student that would make you. Imagine how much better of a contributor you’d be to your field or career of choice if you cultivated the skill of solving problems with your mind. It’s the most invaluable skill in the marketplace.

Simply put, it helps college women like you with the overall learning process. Also known as managing your mindset. You will receive guidelines on how to approach college work and useful habits and tools that can help you tackle challenges when they occur.

Can I enroll in study school at this point? My semester hasn't started yet or i only have 8-9 weeks left?

If you’ve struggled to consistently maintain a A’s and B’s with ease or if you’re failing – this is the perfect time to sign up for Study School because what else are you going to do to ensure you bring up your grades, stop stressing so much and enjoy your life along side your education?

I anticipated that you might want to use this as a way to hold yourself back from really putting in all your effort this semester with the help of Study School, so what I did was include a Study School Success Roadmap. No matter where you’re starting or what your academic goals are, The Study School Success Roadmap will guide you to the specific Study School lesson and action steps to help you exactly where and when you need it most. I mean it when I say, I’ve got you!

You’ll walk away with a step-by-step and personalized game plan on what to do from now until the end of the semester to prepare for your exams, write your papers and complete projects and presentations and create more space for YOU in your week.

I like to be realistic and up front about expectations, if you’re 4 weeks away from finishing your semester there is no way in hell you’re going to go from an F to a B/C but your end grade will be higher than if you didn’t enroll.

How long do I have access to study school for?

As of right now access to the Study School content is Life Time Access Which means you pay for it today and you have access to it for as long as you’re enrolled in college classes and actually need this kind of support. Which means semester after semester you can access all the templates and videos. We have students who have used Study School since freshman year of college through their graduate and professional school programs.
