Giles McMullen

Hi, I’m Giles — a physics graduate, former Oxford researcher, and now a passionate advocate for learning how to learn.

I hold a first-class honours degree in Physics and worked as a medical physics researcher at the University of Oxford. These days, I create evidence-based content on learning science for over 600,000 subscribers on YouTube.

I first discovered the power of effective learning techniques when a maths teacher showed me a new way of approaching the subject — it took me from a D student to top of the class. That moment changed my life. Since then, I’ve become fascinated by the science of learning and how a few simple, research-backed strategies can transform how we study, remember, and grow.

My Udemy courses combine practical tools with the best of cognitive science to help learners of all ages study smarter — not harder. Over 50,000 students have taken my online courses, and I’m excited to help even more people unlock their potential.

Let’s get learning.
