Before I began working with Jeff I had completed the Udemy courses but was not applying the techniques in the games and my work. He gave me simple weekly tasks, kept me accountable and gave feedback. Jeff gave me practical tips and advice but the biggest factor was how he helped me connect it to my work.
It's a journey but now i feel I am on the right track. I am able to ace the random words and random images 20 games (I never did that before even though I tried many times and the maximum I could get to was 12 or 13). I am trying to be more visual even with my work and reading which is helping me get better. And… my latest IELTS listening and reading mock test scores are 7.5 – 8.5 range 🙂

Coach Lorena will be honest to you and set your expectations. She gives additional materials for me to see if it works for me or not. She schedules things for me to do on a weekly basis, gives expectations on exercises, and answers questions that I might have. She will try to show you things where you improve on to encourage you. Which is all I could ask for a coach. The rest is up to you to put up the work. So if you think you get stuck at a lecture or want to learn faster, I recommend Lorena. Lorena helps me focus on things that she believes I need to focus on. She’s like an accountability partner that helps me work a little harder. And since she is experienced. Best part is there is someone with experience helping you improve yourself.
Lorena is a wonderful coach. Her constant feedback and guidance has helped me a lot in removing some inhibitions that I had regarding learning. She always encourages me to apply the skills learned in my daily life like my research work which helped me test the techniques in the real world. The trello board is a great way for the accountability part. And the meetings with my mentor were also satisfying since I could clarify most of my doubts. This program is very good. I liked that it included many self improvement videos related to meditation and attention management. The videos on meditation have made me more active through the day, though that is not the focus of the course :). I have personally gained a lot because of meditation and I wouldn’t even have tried it had it not been part of the course. Also, in the Udemy course there is not much about memory palace, but Lorena introduced it pretty early, and I can attribute much of my success in marker generation and memory palace techniques to her constant encouragement and guidance. I also love her friendly nature and that made it even easier to discuss the roadblocks and issues that I faced while I was learning. Would definitely recommend it for anyone who has just started his journey into superlearning!
