For students

Alba from theartofchange offers free suggestions and impulses on Instagram and beyond Online consultation/ study coaching for distance students with and without children and jobs.

Hello there,...

...I'm Alba. Coach, trainer, self-employed, educator, student, wife and cat mom - oh, and not to forget the genius in the chaos. It feels like I've spent my life so far dealing with learning strategies, personality development, stress and conflict management.


At the age of 17 I started looking for a suitable apprenticeship for the first time and since then I have used my free weekends to travel to Cologne, Bensberg, Weimar, Neuss or to the online world and continue my education, develop further and to keep growing. I have completed all further education and training twice and thus experienced it from two perspectives:


  • from the "learning" perspective as a participant
  • and from the "teaching" perspective as assistant/co-trainers.

Based on experience...

...acting in counseling sessions can lead to success in many cases. But people are diverse and so are their life situations and possible solutions to be developed.


I set out and transferred the skills I had learned in the training I had completed to the scientific level:


After the examination and the successful completion of my scientific transfer work, my completed training and presented skills were recognized by the Steinbeis Hochschule Berlin as "Diploma of Advanced Studies" Recognized. My qualifications as a coach and trainer are currently at level 7 of the DQR, which corresponds to Level 2 (Master's level) of the qualification framework for German university degrees.

Management of time...

...it does not work. Not even in college.

Many believe time can be managed. But is that really possible? Is it really possible to plan, manage, control time, let it run faster/slower, stop it or even turn it back? No. Time is running. And forward, all by itself. The only option left to us is to manage ourselves. There are so many ways you can manage your behavior during college. Here let's go to my extensive series of articles "Time Management".

The art of memory enables...

...memorizing learning material of impossibility. During your studies you come across many things that cannot be memorized properly and without later forgetting. If you are forced to keep it with a lot of effort (and a lot of luck) while writing the exam, the knowledge you have learned by heart will be lost in the time that follows at the latest. Here you will find strategies and methods that will save you from such situations.

Memorizing is like rowing:

once you stop consistently maintaining what you've learned, you drift back.

The kid is sick again...

...The organization of study and family is an enormous challenge, especially when the long phases of illness occur again. The child has hardly been in daycare or school for a few days when the next wave of illness comes along and all the stress starts all over again. Where is the time for studying? Numerous impulses, strategies, stimulating questions and fellow students who are in a similar situation await you on my Instagram account. Here let's go to my extensive series "Child sick vs. studying".

Study fast...

...and finishing quickly is a wish and goal of many students, and at the same time a complex challenge. Your personality with all its facets, current facts in your environment, social conditions and more must be taken into account and, if possible, optimized. My series of articles "study quickly" gives you stimulating questions for self-reflection, as well as strategies for implementation, so that you effectively come closer to your goal, taking all factors into account. Here it's long.

quotesArtboard 1 copy 2

The whole is more

than the sum of its parts.

All routes...

...lead to Rome.

Various learning methods lead to the goal.

Reflecting on one's own learning preferences is important, as well as knowing about the variety of possibilities, methods and strategies. Both together result in the last piece of the puzzle, which is needed in order to be able to internalize even the most complex content in the long term. Here Let's go to my extensive series of learning methods "The Art of Memory".

The right reading technique...

...enables fast and effective processing of texts. Thick study scripts, a large mountain of books for literature research and times of a constantly growing flood of information increasingly require an accelerated reading speed and the mastering of efficient reading material processing. This includes not only absorbing information in the shortest possible time, but also selecting the content. Here let's go to my inspiring series of articles "Reading Technology".

The perfect flashcard...

...requires a well thought-out approach.

Learning with flashcards, learning cards, learning slips - everyone calls it something else, this self-contained package of knowledge, which is one of the most frequently used learning methods by students. However, the perfect index card does not always succeed and not everyone. There are still many mistakes made when creating flashcards. The result: time, valuable learning potential and material are wasted. Here Let's go to my inspiring series of articles "the perfect flashcard", which gives you tips, strategies and methods for both the creation and use of flashcards.

Report by Sophie

"I think it's so great how Alba supports other people who, despite having a family and a job, want to get through their studies and try to teach people how time management works, which helps them so much. When I'm sometimes in my When I'm sitting on a pile of unfinished tasks and all my brain cells are blocked and I want to shut down completely, her posts give me hope. It's like I'm being taken by the hand and a voice is saying, "Come on, you can do it! I'll give you a little nudge".

What if none of this works?

You already have a wealth of experience. I share my experiences with you via the free posts on my Instagram account.


But sometimes life presents special challenges and questions arise that are not so easy to clarify. In this case I am at your disposal with my competence, professionalism, experience and flexibility and will work with you to find a suitable solution for your special request:

60 minute consultation

I offer you a consultation that is individually tailored to you and your situation. We will look at your current objective or question, take a close look at obstacles that stand in your way and design concrete solution steps.


With studies, children and a job, "taking your time" can always be a challenge, which is why the consultation is designed to be as easy and uncomplicated as possible for you:


Online via a platform of your choice (Teams, Zoom or Skype) at a time that can take place early in the morning or even late in the evening, depending on how it is best organized for you.


If you prefer to have the consultation in person, this is also possible. Discover heremy premises in Bad Oeynhausen.


Your investment amounts to 50€.

Challenges in study...

... are a dime a dozen, for example:


  • low motivation
  • test anxiety
  • Time / performance pressure
  • inner stress
  • Organization of studies, family and job
  • self-organization during studies
  • no suitable learning method
  • re-entry into studies
  • Doubts about the right choice of course


But the current life situation, the origin of the problem and the way to the solution is very individual depending on the person.


Are you in one of the above or other situations?

quotesArtboard 1 copy 2

When you come to a fork in the road

take her.

I would like to accompany you on your way...

... and build on reliable, scientific knowledge. I combine these with concepts individually tailored to you to create an experience that is both pleasant and effective. Together we discover the origin of your challenging situation, set goals and set off. Our time together is based on the following principles:

my principles

My attitude and which disciplines I use in the consultation / study coaching with you.

  • humanistic image of man

    My attitude towards you is based on the assumption that people generally strive for personal development and already have within themselves what they need for their full development. So I focus on your interests and values. Respect for dignity, personality and individual life contribute to the success of our cooperation.

  • General Psychology

    General psychology deals with the description, explanation and prediction of human experience and behavior and then develops models for the basic laws and psychological functions of the average individual. On the basis of this scientific knowledge, functioning concepts can be developed to effectively achieve our clients' objectives.

  • Differential Psychology

    The sole focus on the perspective of general psychology carries the risk that the individual differences between students are overlooked. Universal laws and concepts will apply very precisely to some students, but not to many. In order to meet you specifically and to be able to offer an individualized concept, I also focus on differential psychology. My regular examination of questions such as "What makes the differences between students?" and "How can students be understood as individuals?" enables you to have a tailor-made consultation.

  • Neuropsychology

    Neuropsychology creates insights into the connections between human reactions, behaviors and the respective brain structures involved. Through my knowledge of and the use of current findings from this discipline, I enable you to deal with your situation in a "brain-friendly" way, especially with regard to perception, learning processes, memory and motivation.

  • communication psychology

    Communication psychology examines the structures and processes of communication. The communication behavior of people is analyzed, as well as influencing factors of communication, conditions of communication as well as results and consequences of communicative action.

  • systems theory

    The systems theory assumes that every person moves in at least one network of relationships, a so-called system (family, friends, job, organization,...) and that every person also has a system (the weaker bastard,...).

  • Hypnosetherapie

    I am trained in the use of hypnosis and I am happy to offer you my knowledge from this area as well: Hypnosis is an intentionally induced trance that directs your attention from the outside in and allows access to the unconscious. You always have complete control over your thoughts, feelings and actions. In this state you are able to make changes that are difficult or impossible to achieve without this form of trance.

The procedure

My approach is based on a three-step framework. Here is a brief overview of what you can expect:

1 request

If you have initiated your request by email, Instagram or by phone, we will arrange the date for your consultation and how it should take place (online or face-to-face). You will receive your invoice within the next 24 hours.

2 consultation

At the agreed time, we sit down for about 60 minutes and take time for your individual situation. In most cases, after this consultation, students have found their individual way to achieve their goals, worked out concrete steps, pursue their goals and go their own way.

3 aftercare

In a few cases, students do not feel up to their situation and their path to achieving their goals, or new questions arise in the course of the process. In this case, I offer you the opportunity to shape the path beyond the consultation with me. We will discuss individually what that will look like for you.
