Hello there!

My Vision & Mission

I aspire to help college and university students ace in study and be a graduate without burning out,

using a study-made-easy formula.

My Story

My dream was to become a teacher but I was rejected from entering the government subsidised teacher’s training college after leaving high school.

I didn't have the money to further my study so I worked and kept changing jobs, and no savings.

I chased my dreams and years later, I graduated with an honours bachelor's degree in education, followed by a master’s degree, and then I was teaching at the university, before obtaining a PhD.

My inspirational story reveals the possibility that you CAN become a graduate no matter who you are and what experience you have.

Study Challenges

Studying in college or university can be a tough transitional period after leaving high school.

Why some students drop out before they could finish their first semester? What are the reasons they failed?

The purpose of this website is to tackle the challenges you face in college and how to manage your time, studies and social life to best reach your goals.

The study-made-easy formula consisting study skills, mindset and health that I created may help you survive in college and university.

This website is also good for parents and teachers who are interested in developing positive mindset and new skills, and aspire to help students excel

in school and in life.

What to expect in college?

Although you may have the freedom and independence as a student, you have to monitor your own progress as nobody will check on you whether or not you go to class or do your assignments. You are expected to study and do most of your coursework on your own and you are fully responsible for your own academic progress and the grades you obtain (Chapter 3 - Be A Graduate).

What is college depression?

Many college students ignore signs of stress and as a result experience a range of physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms. Increased heart rate or blood pressure, headaches, or fatigue, for example, commonly strains our physical states. The “psychological perception of pressure”, on the other hand, influences our emotional reactions to unexpected situations leading to suicide (Chapter 12 - Be A Graduate).

Where to get help?

Schools don’t teach personal skills like how to study, or how to manage money and stress. You need to know how to prevent the problem before it gets to you as it will affect your study, and not knowing it sooner may slow down your progress in your overall life as a student. 'Be A Graduate' shows you precisely how to survive in college and achieve your dreams. Time will not wait for you.
