Data is not cheap, and many learners study on a phone. The good news is that a phone can do a lot if you set it up well. At Leerruimte we help learners in Rondebosch and nearby suburbs plan their study time around their data bundle.
Start by downloading notes and videos on the free Wi-Fi at our centre or the library.
Download once at the library, then study as many times as you like at home. Lwazi Dlamini, Study Skills CoachTurn off auto-play and background updates. Keep one folder for each subject so you can find things fast.
Save data before you study
Switch your phone to data saver mode and lower the video quality to 360p. Use text lessons and PDFs where you can, since they use a fraction of the data. Ask us about free Wi-Fi hours at the centre.
Make the small screen work for you
Study in short blocks of twenty minutes. Write key points by hand in a notebook. Reading and writing together helps you remember far more than scrolling alone.

Thanks for this. I am sharing it with my cousin who is writing matric this year. The study tips are easy to follow.

Thank you, we are glad it helped. Come past Leerruimte in Rondebosch any weekday if you want to see the study desks.

Very useful post. I tutor Grade 10 maths on Saturdays and this gave me a few good ideas to share with my learners this term.

Clear and honest advice. My son read it before his preliminary exams and said it helped him settle down and plan his time properly.
