Self-Paced or Live Classes: Which Suits You Better?

Most of our students study on a phone, and that is fine. A good lesson works on a small screen if it is short, clear and easy to download. Aim for study blocks of fifteen to twenty minutes.

Save data without losing progress

Turn off video quality you do not need and choose audio only when the lesson is mostly talking. Download notes as PDF files and keep them in one folder. Our team at Braamfontein can also send workbooks by email so you can read them offline.

Pick the same time each day, even if it is only twenty minutes on the taxi or train. Use a notes app to jot down questions, then bring them to the next live class. Small, regular steps add up faster than one long night before a test.
