Taking Notes
Instead of hurriedly writing down all information seen and heard, learn how to record the most relevant information in a structured format.
The Pareto Principle
The Pareto Principle states that in the majority of work situations, 80% of the benefits come from just 20% of the efforts. Applying this principle allocates more energy and time to the important tasks and even saves time for relaxing.
Being Proactive
When there are challenges that can seem difficult, unfair, and even impossible to achieve, you will be amazed at how seemingly impossible demands can be fulfilled.
Memory Training Strategies
Stress and last-minute cramming can be avoided if you study and review the course material in a way that the brain can easily absorb. Learn about brain function and long-term memory with regard to learning.

Administrator & Coach
Zach Drake
I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Print and Broadcast Journalism. I have been married to Emilee for 12 years, and we have three wonderful children. During my time at university, I personally benefitted from personal and academic development. After graduating from university, I began a career in leadership development and life-coaching. I have been helping professional athletes, university students, and business professionals achieve their personal goals for more than 12 years in America, China, Thailand, and Oman. I believe the future leaders of Oman are currently studying at universities, and I want to invest in the next generation of Omani leaders.
Coach
Emilee Drake
Hi, I’m Emilee! I am from America and have a degree in Early Childhood Education. After moving to Muscat 2.5 years ago, I had the privilege of being part of launching Study With Success because I’m passionate about helping university students build healthy habits for a meaningful and enjoyable life. I love organizing workshops, baking sweet treats for students, and coaching uni girls one-on-one.
Looking back, I wish something like SWS had existed during my own university years—I often felt overwhelmed, burned out, and didn’t know how to take care of myself. I’ve learned a lot since then and love supporting students as they grow in these areas earlier than I did.
When I’m not with SWS, I’m usually baking, reading, or cafe hopping around Muscat in search of the perfect Spanish latte. I also love homemade luqaimat and karak here—my sweet tooth is thriving in Oman! I’m married to our amazing founder, Zach, and proud mom to three awesome kids: Shiloh (9), Titus (5), and Rivers (1.5).
Coach & Social Media Director
Grace Belcher
My name is Grace! I attended university in America and have a degree in Elementary Education. I graduated in 2021, and COVID-19 quickly taught me that my work and study habits were not sustainable. I wish I had been provided workshops like Study with Success while I was in university. After graduating, I discovered my passion for mentoring college students, helping them thrive in their post-graduation pursuits. For the past five years, I have worked in student development. I am certified in teaching Study with Success and teach English through a CELTA certification. I often tell people I want to be a resource for them when sharing about my experiences with personal and academic development. This inspiration led me to start a personal blog as a resource for friends. Outside of work, I enjoy crochet, sewing, and gardening. I moved to Oman in 2025, so I have been enjoying the beaches, Karak, and exploring this side of the world.
Coach
Kaden Belcher
My name is Kaden! I went to university in America and earned a degree in Biological and Agricultural Engineering, and it was while I was in university that I discovered my passion for student development. At university, I became a Calculus II and Chemistry I and II tutor and received my level 1 International Tutor Training Program Certification (ITTPC). I experienced firsthand how effectively workshops and one on one coaching could benefit students and help them excel academically and personally. I believe Study With Success has the research-backed materials to transform university students in Muscat and empower them to take ownership of their growth in school and post-graduation. I love that my job allows me to help students become the best versions of themselves and assist them in whatever ways I can.
Outside of work, I enjoy pursuing several hobbies like my amateur poetry (and I do mean amateur) and working on my very low-budget YouTube channel. I love coffee and look forward to my weekly coffee dates with my wife, Grace, another one of our great Study With Success staff and undoubtedly my better half. I also enjoy fantasy movies and books and could talk about Brandon Sanderson and his books for hours on end if given the opportunity.
