Why am I able to focus very much in class and unable to study alone when I am in my flat?

Its because you have associated class with study and your flat for a place of relaxation. As soon as you enter your flat, distractions swarm your mind, eg internet, calls etc. Its because, this is probably what you are doing in your flat. So the key is, turn your phone off, start studying something light and something you enjoy, or maybe do math while watching a movie, just to break the habit of not focusing at flat. With time, you should be fine!

Being a student,i can feel what you must be going through.well,the good thing is you can always improve.As some answers over here suggests,your mind has accepted the fact that,you have to study in class so you are able to focus more in class.while your mind needs some time to accept the fact that you have to study in your flat also.start by taking small steps daily.Follow the following steps while studying:1.Switch off your phone,laptop,things that distract you.2.make yourself comfortable when you sit for study,make sure that you have all the things you will need while studying.3.always crave for more,note the timing that how much you studied a particular day,try to study at least 5-10 minutes more the next day.4.start from the most interesting topic for you.BEST OF LUCK.

One of the reasons you may be able to focus in class, but not in your flat is because your brain has paired things from your environment with either studying or not studying. In a classroom, there is often going to be someone teaching in the front, as well as something for them to write on. Both of these things have been paired with focusing/learning in your mind. Many people when in their flats/dorms/apartments are doing a variety of more relaxing activities, such as sleeping, reading, and watching tv. Your brain may have paired "flat" with "relaxation" because of this. One thing you may want to try doing is bringing something specific with you to class, such as a refillable water bottle, and only drink from it during class (don't use it when you're just at home watching tv). After a few weeks, try also putting it on your desk/table when you are trying to study in your flat. By taking something from your focused environment (classroom) to your other environment (flat) you may be able to get your brain to also associate your flat with studying.

In class, you're in an environment that your brain has associated with learning. Your flat is likely more associated with rest and relaxation. Therefore, when you get home, your brain thinks it's time to relax rather than to study. It's important to have your own personal space to relax, so I suggest going to the library or a study space at school to work :)

Maybe you never learned how to study effectively. When you're in class, the environment helps you. Possibly the library imitates that environment, or you could ask a good student peer to study together some time.

When in class you may be aware what is expected and therefore will feel obliged to focus better whereas at home alone knowing no one is there to notice you are not studying may make you less focused and more likely to let your mind wander off.

First, there could be numerous reasons why you're having these issues. You need to focus on what's causing these issues if possible, it could be a lack of motivation, exhaustion, the instructor isn't engaging enough with you or challenging you in class. Or something else bothering you that you haven't noticed. Try speaking to your teacher about your issue or a guidance counselor. They may have some information or helpful tips for your issues with focusing in class. It could be because your instructor is using a different teaching method that doesn't work for you, try to figure out your desired learning method and how to make their teaching it work for you. Ask your teacher if you can record their lessons that way you can still learn if you're not concentrated enough in class. If your teacher isn't engaging enough with you or challenging you enough share that with them, they'll never know if you're getting the most out of their course or not. They're there to teach you and some teachers are more than willing to take constructive criticism. Find a study group to join if you can ask your classmates to join you at your apartment to study. It could be the way you're studying as well. If you can create or find a study group, try creating quizzes on Kahootcom. One of my instructors used this before our final exams and it helped a lot. Plus it was entertaining. When you study alone try to set an alarm for yourself to study for a limited time, leave your phone alone, turn off the notifications, and if possible turn off your internet or stay off your computer. If you're still having issues try speaking to your doctor, it could be something else affecting your concentration, Hope this helps!

I completely understand what you are experiencing, and what I think is that your home environment is your calm resting place. Its where you feel relaxed and safe. Work environments and school environments harness a work ethic that you naturally follow. You don't go to class to sleep, you study. My suggestion to you is to create a space in your home that you can associate with work and studying. Putting up your class schedule or study plan can help you make that work ethic follow you to this space (it can be a study or even a desk in a corner of a room). Once you are done you can leave your work space and enjoy the peace of your home as nurture intended it :)

In class, you are surrounded by people, while at your place, you are by yourself. Maybe the pressure of other people being around, helps your study. A simple solution would be, go to a library or do group study sessions.

Home can be a distracting place to study. When you're by yourself at home, it becomes very easy to put off studying and do something else, like go to the kitchen for another snack, or take a nap, or play video games, etc. When you're in class, your only option really is to pay attention.
