The original course to learn faster & more easily using the skills of the worlds fastest readers & memory record holders

Our take
Based on the ratings of 41,758 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in September 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.
Jonathan Levi's SuperLearner course is a compact package on memory techniques and speed reading. It runs 63 lectures across 10 sections, about 5 hours of video in all. Memory comes first: how recall works, visual memory, mental markers and systems for long-term retention fill the opening half. Reading follows, with pre-reading, cutting out the inner voice and speed drills. It is labeled for all levels.
Most of the praise is about delivery. One reviewer calls the videos motivating, clear and upbeat, and another likes the games and worksheets. A learner with learning difficulties says the teaching style suits them, and a non-native English speaker found the explanations patient. The complaints are practical. Reviewers mention broken links in the syllabus, worksheets that would not download, video lag and a long sales pitch at the start. The harshest review says the instructors talk about learning but never show a method applied to real text.
About 240,000 students have enrolled, and roughly 35,800 of the 41,758 ratings are four or five stars, for a 4.3 average. The last update was September 2025, so it is not stale. At five hours it is a quick start, not a full training program. It is worth it for a clear overview with exercises, as long as you bring your own practice time and keep the reading speed claims in perspective.
Pros
- Short at about 5 hours, with 63 lectures and 10 quizzes that keep it moving
- Covers memory techniques and speed reading in one structured path
- Reviewers praise the upbeat, clear videos and a pace that is easy to follow
- Games, worksheets and hands-on exercises give practice, not just talk
Cons
- Broken syllabus links and worksheets that would not download frustrate some students
- A long sales pitch up front, plus reports of video lag or videos not loading
- One low review says methods are described but never shown on real study material
The videos are motivating, clear, and upbeat. The pacing is wonderful!
Labeled All Levels. Fits anyone who reads English well; no prior knowledge needed, just willingness to practice.

Course Description
One of Udemy's Top Selling Courses of All Time - New & Improved Version 2.5!
Don't accept imitations!
After over 50,000 satisfied students in our original course, Become a SuperLearner® has been updated, upgraded, and improved from the ground up.
This course will teach you how to hack your learning, reading, and memory skills, empowering you to learn anything and everything faster and more effectively.
Whether you're a student, a professional, or simply embarking on a new hobby, you are forced to grapple with an ever-increasing amount of information and knowledge. In fact, it's believed that one week's worth of the New York Times contains more information than people 100 years ago encountered in their entire lives. We've all experienced the frustration of an ever-growing reading list, struggling to learn a new language, or forgetting things you learned in even your favorite subjects.
Anyone can develop SuperLearning skills!
This course is about improving your ability to learn new skills or information quickly and effectively. We go far beyond the kinds of "speed-reading" (or glorified skimming) you may have been exposed to, diving into the actual cognitive and neurological factors that make learning easier and more successful. We also give you advanced memory techniques to grapple with the huge loads of information you'll be able to process.
You'll learn how to input and retain information in a whole new way - a faster, better way
The core of this SuperLearning course involves 3 "Super Skills":
Speed-reading with high (80%+) comprehension and understanding
Memory techniques for storing and recalling vast amounts of information quickly and accurately
Developing the cognitive infrastructure to support this flood of new information long-term
However, the SuperLearning skills you'll learn in this course are applicable to many aspects of your every day life, from remembering phone numbers to acquiring new skills or even speaking new languages.
How this new course will change your life and triple your learning speed:
The sad irony is that in order to learn most of these superlearning skills and memory techniques in the past, you had to read dozens of books and psychological journals. Or, you had to hire an expensive private tutor who specializes in superlearning. That's what I did. And it changed my life.
Fortunately, my instructors (experts in the fields of superlearning, memory techniques, and speed-reading) agreed to help me transform their materials into the first ever digital course. That course, Become a SuperLearner™ 1.0, took the internet by storm, becoming one of the top courses in the history of Udemy, and resulting in a bestselling book and top-ranking podcast.
How is it different from SuperLearner® 1.0?
Over the last 2 years and 50,000+ students, we’ve had tens of thousands of data points and pieces of feedback, helping us improve both our methodology and our teaching practices. This new course has more (and better) content than ever before, including:
Completely re-written lectures emphasizing clarity and engagement!
All-new lectures on topics never before covered!
Hands-on demonstration videos for every major concept
Dramatically improved video and audio quality
Interactive worksheets to print and complete
Even MORE supplemental resources!
We can confidently say that this is the best, most comprehensive accelerated learning product we’ve ever released on Udemy.
The course will require 2-3 hours of memory and speed-reading practice and training per week, and last roughly 7-9 weeks. It won't be easy - but if you put in the work, you are guaranteed to succeed.
In addition to the lectures, there is an additional 1.5 hours of supplemental video content from TED, YouTube, and other sources which are considered part of the course curriculum.

very good course and after a few weeks, I noticed some changes in my memory. the only problem is the broken links in the contents and syllabus which makes things difficult to follow and I have to Google those items to find the right page.
By Kam Pryor on 5/11/2026
The required sales pitch at the beginning is long and unnecessary. I already chose the course, so I don't need to be told why I should choose the course.
By Paul Cundliffe on 4/5/2026
I have learning difficulties and an old brain that as not been learning for many years and that's why I like Jonathan's style in teaching. This way of learning I find this style of learning suits me more so thank you
By Kenechukwu Agabah on 4/1/2026
Amazing course so far. The intro awakens the passion to learn the content. The only issue I am experiencing is that the video often lags. I have to fast-forward by 5 secs to resume play now and then.
By Cismelaru Adelin on 4/1/2026
This trainers/teachers failed to show how you learn and enjoy learning. They have to do one simple thing: take a small fragment of text(could me anything: math, science...anything) and they have to apply their method/methods showing the beauty of re-discovery new things and showing us the magic of math or other science or the beauty of an ideea. They talk about ANYTHING except what they suppose to talk about. Not recomended. How is possible you can talk about learning and you cannot show how you learn? You talk about things you never show how you applied
By Jean-Nicolas Schintgen on 3/19/2026
I am 40 Minutes unto the course over 4 Days if 3ngaging with the cintent and I am positive that I will be improving my memory and reading speed in the next 10 weeks. The motivation material is really helpful, make use if it!
By Jayant Kaushik on 2/19/2026
I think this is a good introductory course to know about how one can become an effective student. I wish he had gotten in more details esplanation od Saccades
By Lana Aznauryan on 2/5/2026
This course reached beyond my initial expectations. My reading speed has doubled without sacrificing comprehension. I remember everyone's names now, which has increased my social confidence. I've sliced by study time for everything by at least a quarter, because I'm creating markers. Take this course seriously. Practice the games, create markers and attempt speed reading everyday. It is well worth it! This is coming from someone who hardly, if ever, writes reviews.
By Kumuda on 2/2/2026
It's Very informative session. I learned useful speed reading and memory techniques that improve focus and retention. The methods are simple and practical. I would recommend this course to others.

120% recommended
By Kate Aldous on 11/15/2020
I would like more direction for the course syllabus info - for e.g. what is key and what is not needed of you are short of time. I also think more direction with how to do the practice exercises would help. Which techniques should we use, and have we covered them by the time we get to that point in the manual?
