Studying With The Brain in Mind

About the workshop…

This is a great workshop to start the year with. Taking good revision habits from the get-go allows students to learn better throughout the year, setting them up for long-term success.

This workshop will teach your students how to get the most out of their brain during revision time. By better understanding how their brain works, your students will be able to use it more efficiently.

We do this by making things very simple and understandable, whilst using lots of practical experiments and videos. However, we still base the workshop on years of cognitive psychology and neuroscience research.
