The course
Learn how to understand what you study.
A 7-module online course that teaches high school learners how to understand, remember and practise their work, in any subject. Short video lessons, drills on their own schoolwork, and the option of a tutor to help along the way.
How it works
Four steps, in the right order
Most study tips start with memory tricks. We start with understanding, because everything else depends on it.
Understand
Clarify the meaning of any word you’re unsure of, make abstract ideas concrete, and find the step you missed.
Remember
Test yourself instead of re-reading, use flashcards properly, and space out your reviews.
Practise
Work past papers with the memo, mix up question types, and learn from every mistake.
Plan
A simple weekly plan, a good study space, and tiny first steps to beat procrastination.
What’s inside
7 modules. 35 short lessons.
Each lesson is a short video of a few minutes, and every module ends with a drill learners do on their own schoolwork.
Free
Why studying fails
The three real reasons learners get stuck, plus a habits check and a starting reading task.
Word gaps
Spot the words that block understanding, and learn what they really mean.
Making it concrete
Turn abstract ideas into things you can see and handle: objects, sketches and real examples.
Finding the missed step
When work suddenly feels impossible, go back, find the step you skipped, and build up again.
Remembering
Self-testing, flashcards that work, spacing, and why sleep matters for memory.
Practising for exams
Past papers and memos, mixed practice, an error log, and staying calm in the exam room.
Your study system
A weekly plan, a study space, beating procrastination, and using AI honestly.
See the difference
Every learner does a reading task and a study-habits check in Module 1, and a matching task in Module 7. At the end, learners and parents see the two results side by side.

Questions
Frequently asked
Which grades is it for?
Grades 9 to 12. The examples use common South African school subjects for Grades 10 to 12, such as Maths, Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, Accounting and English. Grade 9 learners apply the method to their own subjects, and in Module 6 they use textbook exercises and old class tests instead of past papers.
What about university or college students?
The course is built for high school. First-year students who struggle with studying also find it useful, and a version for university students is planned.
How much time does it take?
The lessons are short, just a few minutes each. We suggest about one module a week, with the drill done on the learner’s own schoolwork.
Will my child actually do it?
The lessons are short and the drills use their own schoolwork, so it isn’t extra homework on top of homework. If you’re not sure they’ll keep going on their own, the Guided and One-on-one options add a tutor to keep them on track.
Is it only in English?
The lessons are in English. The course is designed with second-language learners in mind.
What device do I need?
A phone, tablet or computer with internet. Worksheets can be downloaded and printed.
What is the method based on?
Research on how people learn, such as self-testing, spacing and mixed practice, combined with practical study methods like looking up and using unfamiliar words, making ideas concrete, and finding missed steps.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. You can cancel within 7 days of buying for a full refund, as long as your child hasn’t gone past Module 2 or had their first tutor session. After a tutor option has started, unused sessions are refunded. The full policy will be in our terms and conditions.
Not sure where to start?
The free study assessment takes 3 minutes and shows which study habits are helping your child, and which are holding them back.
