Koala

For students

Take back the support uni took away

School broke the work down for you. At university you get a reading list, a deadline months away and nobody checking in. Koala turns all of it back into a doable day.

Many people meet their ADHD at university

“Uni was the first time I didn't have the support that had quietly masked my symptoms all my life. When I asked for help, I was told it was anxiety and depression. Underneath that was undiagnosed ADHD.”

Valerie Oyiki, Founder

How Koala helps

Structure, rebuilt around your term

A term becomes doable days

Give Koala the essay, the reading and the deadline. It comes back as small tasks planned across your days, never more than the hours you gave.

Assignment brief

“2,500-word essay on cognitive load theory, due in three weeks.”

Tasks created
Read the two core papers
Draft the introduction
Reference and submit

Know if a deadline is at risk

You hear it weeks out, while there is still time to move. When it is quiet, you are on top of it.

This won’t fit before the deadline. Tell your tutor now, while there is still time.

Days shaped to your real life

Lectures, shifts, low-energy days. Koala plans to the capacity you actually have, not an ideal week.

A clear point to stop. Anything unfinished is carried into tomorrow overnight, so you can close the laptop.

Connect Google or Outlook Calendar and Koala adds study blocks around classes and shifts. Finish one and your task replaces it in green. Miss it and Koala clears the block, then finds another time.

Your Support Map

See the support around you

School gave you timetables, small steps and someone noticing. Uni often takes that scaffolding away. The free Support Map shows where you have support now and where you could use more.

Seven areas of life. Support, not symptoms.

Koala Student Support

Two ways Koala supports you at university

We know money is tight at uni, which is why we have two ways to make it easier. No hoops to jump through.

Student pricing

Email Valerie from your university address and she will set you up with Koala for £16 a month or £165 a year. The annual plan saves £27 compared with twelve student monthly payments.

Or let your university cover it

If your disability service, wellbeing team or students' union covered Koala, it would cost you nothing. Point them our way and we will take the conversation from there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Email valerie@koalaforwork.com from your university address, or include something that shows you are studying. Valerie replies personally and sets you up with Koala for £16 a month or £165 a year.

Yes. Start with 14 days free, no card needed. Email Valerie before subscribing so she can arrange the student rate.

No. Nothing in Koala asks about one. Plenty of people first suspect ADHD at university, and the structure helps either way.

Yes. If your disability service, wellbeing team or students' union gets in touch, we will work out something that covers you and other students. Point them to this page or to valerie@koalaforwork.com.

We would like it to be and we are not there yet. Koala is a small team and the discount is what we can offer without cutting corners on the product. If your university covers it, it costs you nothing.
