Swinburne Other Tutor Claire

Struggling with overwhelm, anxiety, and the endless battle with planning and organisation? Academic anxiety got you eating bowls of noodles and binge watching trash tv because the thought checking Canvas or opening a textbook is about as appealing as dancing on Lego? Struggling to be accountable to yourself? Hey there! I'm Claire, and I specialise in helping students (particularly those with ADHD) navigate their university journey and crush their academic goals. As a mature-age Psych Honours student, I understand firsthand the challenges of uni life and what it takes to succeed. My approach to tutoring goes beyond just helping you understand course content (though we'll definitely nail that too!). I'm all about working with you to figure out how your brain works best and creating study strategies that actually stick. What can I help with? Pretty much anything that's throwing you off your academic game: - Breaking down those confusing concepts into pieces that actually make sense - Diving deep into ideas, tools and strategies - Helping you find and organise research for your assignments (without falling into the rabbit hole of endless emotional support tabs tabs) - Creating study schedules that work with your energy levels, not against them - Developing workflows that keep you on track without burning out - Providing external accountability service to keep you moving forward or getting you unstuck from the mental stickies and task paralysis. Having studied psychology and running an ADHD support group, I get that traditional study methods don't always cut it. Together, we'll find ways to make it work for you. Whether you're struggling with procrastination, feeling overwhelmed, or just want to level up your academic game, I'm here to help you create strategies that work for you (and not some youtube hustle productivity influencer) Think of me as your academic coach and accountability buddy rolled into one. I'm here to help you not just survive university, but thrive in it! I can do onsite at Swinburne on certain days, online or meet in other public spaces depending on your needs.
