SMITH RIVAS is a study skills and academic coaching company founded in 2014 with offices in Washington DC and Los Angeles. We take research about how people learn and translate it into practical study skills that students can use to succeed in school, work, and life.

We’ve worked with students from 110 schools in the Washington DC area, and many more nationwide. We teach the most accomplished kids in the country, the biggest slackers, and everybody in between.

SMITH RIVAS students learn how to design and manage their own success, and are now thriving at universities as different as Caltech, Harvard, and Howard.
