Create a Study Routine That Actually Works
Do you feel like there’s too much work and you don’t have time to write a study schedule? Or does your schedule look great on paper – you just can’t stick to it?
Throughout 4 x 1 hour sessions with your mentor, you will learn how to plan your week just like top-performing students, so you can save time, reduce stress and feel confident in your study plan.
Prioritise Tasks that Boost Your Marks
Do you ever plan to study, but not know where to start? Have you ever studied hard for a test, but then the material you revised was not in the paper?
Most students lose precious time – and motivation – by prioritising the wrong tasks.
Your Pathfinder mentor will guide you through the strategies to identify the tasks with the highest payoff for your marks so you can lift your results and your ranks in your next assessment task.
Learn More in Less Time
Top-performing students are not necessarily the ones spending the most time at their desks.
Instead, they excel at study strategies that build lasting memory.
Your mentor will help you implement time-saving revision techniques so you can study smarter not harder this term.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Pathfinder program supports a wide range of students, including:
- Students struggling with motivation for school, getting started with study or finding a direction for their future career path
- Students feeling overwhelmed, stressed and anxious for exams and assessments, or struggling to maintain their wellbeing while studying
All of our mentors are equipped to provide you with personalised support through your high school journey and help you prepare for life after school. With mentors spanning from industry experts, university students across a broad range of degrees, scholarship recipients and Pathfinder alumni, we’ll pair you with a mentor who is prepared to lead you to success in your last years of school.
After discussing your study goals, career and university aspirations and wellbeing goals, we aim to find a good match based on a mentor’s education background and career interests, location (if relevant) and coaching style.
While we work carefully to match you with the right person, in rare cases, a match may not work out. We are happy to discuss alternative options and allocate someone new.
Mentors can check in with students in between sessions to help with motivation, accountability or just staying on track. We simply ask that communication between sessions stays within a reasonable limit as our mentors have other commitments too!
We also find it can be beneficial to provide these two forms of support separately. However, if you would like to discuss this option please feel free to contact us.
Find Success Whatever Your ATAR
