Or, you had to hire an expensive private tutor who specializes in superlearning. That’s what I did. And it changed my life.Fortunately, my instructors (experts in the fields of superlearning, memory techniques, and speed-reading) have agreed to help me transform their materials into the first ever digital course.We’ve designed a course based heavily on video-lectures and a great deal at-home exercises. The lecture components are only a small part of this superlearning course – you will be practicing various exercises and assignments on a regular basis. The course will require 2-3 hours of memory and speed-reading practice and training per week and training, and last roughly 4-6 weeks. It won’t be easy – but if you put in the work, you are guaranteed to succeed.In addition to the lectures, there is an additional 1.5 hours of supplemental video content from TED, YouTube, and other sources which are considered part of the course curriculum.Jonathan Levi is an experienced entrepreneur and angel investor from Silicon Valley.After successfully selling his Inc 5,000 rated startup in April of 2011, Levi packed up for Israel, to gain experience at Rhodium, a Venture Capital Firm specializing in New Media and Mobile.
