Designed for How the Brain Learns

Each course is built using evidence from neuroscience and cognitive psychology. We focus on how memory, attention, and motivation actually work — so students not only learn more effectively, but retain and apply what they learn when it matters most.

I would recommend any school looking to improve their students grades, work ethic and attitude towards education to work with Alex and Nextstepuni. We will continue to use Nextstepuni’s service now and into the future. 

Eleanor
Parent of Junior Cert Student

I've gotten a good predictable study system along with scientific
examples of why making mistakes is good, that in itself is priceless
for my son.

Aoibheann
Leaving Cert Student

I highly recommend doing this course. Half way through 5th year I felt I wasn't retaining information
and I was spending hours in the evening reading over content and getting multiple grinds. I’m already spending less time studying
and retaining more information!

Josephine
Parent of Junior Cert Student

We found it very beneficial. My son is feeling much more positive so
we are delighted we met with you.
