Meet your new study mentor:

William Wadsworth

I help students find an easier path to exam success, by translating brain science into highly practical study techniques (that really work).

I understand the science of memory and productivity (First Class Hons Psychology, Cambridge University).

But I also talk to real students virtually every single day. I deeply understand what it takes to make effective study strategies work in the real world.

Between this blog and the Exam Study Expert podcast, I have the honour of guiding over one million students to exam success, every year.
