Course Description

How can you learn information and skills faster and better?

How can you achieve more without having to put in more effort?

How can you make sure you’re at your very best for big events?

If you guessed that it’s by following the methods in this course, then congratulations and have yourself a cookie. But it’s not just marketing spin. There are so many myths out there about how to learn that drive me crazy as an educator, that I wanted to create this course based on the very latest research about what actually works.

Every lecture contains at least one actionable step that will help you immediately.

The other problem with the information currently out there about learning is that much of it is theoretical and often fairly dense. That’s why this course focuses on practical steps that you can take to improve your performance.

It’s all taught by a professional educator with over ten years’ experience of teaching and refining these methods ‘in the field’, with tangible and proven results for thousands of students.

I’ve used these methods myself to go from high school fool to winner of the top academic prize in my discipline from the University of Durham, to memorise more pointless information than I can now remember (ironically), and to somehow go from a middling IQ to becoming a member of Mensa (even my own family thinks that must have been a mistake).

These methods are tried and tested – by myself, my students, and by numerous studies. They work.

Not another boring lecture, sir!

All are presented in the engaging and memorable style that you’d expect from a teacher.

At least I like to think so. Please start learning and judge for yourself. Enjoy!

Instructor Details

J T

An experienced teacher and senior leader within education, currently responsible for teaching and learning at a top UK school.

Despite some successes as a student myself years ago, what I really enjoy is helping others to learn. I like to think that I've played some small role in the top exam results that many of my students have gone on to achieve over the years, and I was flattered to win a national teaching competition several years ago.

I'm also very interested in memory skills and used to try to impress dates with my ability to memorize the order of a shuffled deck of cards (yes, my dating skills still need a lot of work).

Interestingly, it has motivated me to learn, not just to learn how to learn better. (Not a student, just like learning stuff. cos it's fun!)

By Susan Carter on 11/30/2025

Extremely valuable learning strategies. Thoroughly recommend for anyone - school aged to 100. Whatever you are studying or learning this course is an absolute MUST. Thank you!

By Ismael Diaz Del Rio on 9/25/2025

A good approach to techniques to maximize your learning, highlighting common sense points, but also dismissing some stablished bad practicies wrongly know as beneficial. I'll adopt this advices for my future learnings.

1/2 way through. short enough clips yet informative and well laid out/explained. pleasantly surprised on content. learned as few new tricks as a mom to a teenager and operations executive. motivated and interested to complete session.

So far certain techniques have been useful enough for me to learn more.

By Mark COLLINS on 12/19/2019

Very interesting, and easy to watch - I was worried it might be quite dry, but it was not so. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who is interesting in learning and information recall techniques
