“I oversee a department with more than 30 professional employees and 20 student peer advisors. SMITH RIVAS came to meet with our students regarding time management, specifically how to balance their academics, professional responsibilities and personal interests. They learned how to ensure they are successful and having fun while still getting the most out of their higher education investment. The lessons Paul shared with our students were later given to our staff members as well and they loved it! Thanks, Paul. Hope to have you back again!”

“Paul’s no-nonsense approach is both motivating and realistic, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to high school and college students in need of help managing their busy lives.” Read More
“Paul generously shared some of his tips and strategies for managing time and prioritizing tasks with our DC area group of college counselors. His no-nonsense approach is both motivating and realistic, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to high school and college students in need of help managing their busy lives. I have heard first hand from a client that what he teaches can immediately be implemented, resulting in less stress, more rest, improved family relationships, and higher grades. I am also personally going to use his time management strategies to improve my productivity in my college counseling practice. Reach out to Paul if you have a group of parents or students in need of some professional development. He’s a great motivator!”

“Rivas makes grandiose statements about his content and the power of study skills. The grandiosity is warranted. Rivas is a modern educator with deep roots in learning theory and the power of old-fashioned, hard work.” Read More
“As I type this, I am watching Paul Rivas lecturing to a 200-student transfer success class. This is a man who lectures like his entire life was in study for this very moment on stage. He is not fearful of silence, not afraid to make students uncomfortable. Rivas makes grandiose statements about his content and the power of study skills. The grandiosity is warranted. Rivas is a modern educator with deep roots in learning theory and the power of old-fashioned, hard work.”
