The Studyclix Podcast

It's back to basics with this podcast! So often at Studyclix we get the question "how do you start studying?" so we thought we'd lay out the foundations for establishing a basic study routine.

With tips on motivation, how to structure your study and balancing your mental health, Eimear & Nessa share their best tips for helping you feel on track when it comes to school and exams.

We're back for a new school year! And what better way to kick off the first podcast of the year than an interview with Aisling Walsh. Or as she's known on TikTok to the class of 2022 - Leaving Cert Girl!

Aisling made a name for herself on TikTok by documenting her life as a 6th-year student. People followed her for her unwavering dedication, motivation tips and funny commentary on the Leaving Cert itself.

So we got her onto the Studyclix Podcast to ask her about her experience and to share her tips for people about to go through the same thing this year.

If you enjoy this podcast please rate and review wherever you're listening and tell your friends about it :)
