Sometimes you may have to study alone or remotely and this can seem like a lonely experience. But you're not on your own - our top tips are here to motivate you.

Firstly, you need to choose the right place to study – create a dedicated study space and the right environment for learning and remove any distractions.

Now think about when you'll use this space – organise your time effectively and make a timetable. Choose the right time of day to study – but don't overdo it and know when to stop and take a break! Listen to what this student does…

I was terrible at time management at first but I've learnt to get organised and write down every appointment I have and every task I have to do in the diary. This allows me to plan my week. I also stick a list of goals I have to achieve each week on the wall. When I complete them I cross them off.

Rob
Studying alone can be boring so you need make things fun – use a range of learning materials and techniques and especially interactive materials online.

You can feel isolated when working alone so try to join a local study group where you can talk to other students. If that's not possible, join an online group. You can also make friends and keep in touch by email, chat rooms or video calls.

Of course, ideally it's good to learn face-to-face with someone so maybe there's a friend you can meet to study with? Or perhaps you can join a local language school?

Finally, when you need help you need to know where to go. Make sure the course you're studying has someone you can contact to ask questions and get clarification. Just remember, you're not completely on your own when you study alone! Good luck.

Studying is not boring at all.Lately I have been studying more than 10 hours a day! The lock down is a blessing in disguise for me. It provided me enough time to read many books and watch English lessons on bbc.

Points 4, 5 and 6 don't make much sense with the title.

The advice is great, but It says "TIPS FOR STUDYING ALONE" .
Why would you bring up those things like studying in group, friends or online to make it "fun"?
Since I want to study alone it means "yes, 'I've done a lot of research for the materials at school or on the internet, and I look for some private space to study on my own" or "it is difficult for me when there are other things and people around me", or perhaps you should have changed the title into something like "Tips for not getting bored when you study" or "Study more effectively with these tips"
No offense, just my thoughts.
