About the Writer
Hi, my name is Ella Ryan, and I am a graduate student and researcher in pediatric neuropsychology. My university journey began with poor grades, endless study sessions, and almost failing out of University my first year. Through persistence and self-teaching, I discovered study strategies that completely transformed my approach to learning. I went on to graduate at the top of my academic unit, earning a Bachelor of Science with Distinction, completing an Honours research project, earning a place on the Dean’s List, and receiving full-tuition offers from graduate schools. I am now studying for a Masters in Psychology and plan to complete a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology thereafter.
I now aim to share the methods that helped me thrive in academia to help others succeed in College or University. My articles combine evidence-based learning strategies, productivity tips, and personal experience to help others flourish. I publish new articles every week on how to study smarter, stay motivated, and thrive in post-secondary education. I hope you find these posts both practical and inspiring.
