The website Seneca (https://senecalearning.com/en-GB/) does mini lessons on any topics you want ^^ I used it obsessively for GCSE triple science and got 6, 6, 7, so it can't be all bad XD

Hey there 😃

My top apps are Grammarly, Quizlet and Thesaurus 🚀

1️⃣ Grammarly ✍️🔍
Grammarly is a game-changer for improving writing correctness! We all make minor mistakes or aren’t always aware of grammar rules. Simply paste your text, and Grammarly will highlight errors in grammar, spelling, and style. Over time, I’ve learned a lot, and my writing has significantly improved!

2️⃣ Quizlet 🧠📚
If you love using flashcards, Quizlet is a must-have! It offers free options to create thematic folders and access ready-made flashcard sets. There are so many useful features, and I know I haven’t even explored them all yet!

3️⃣ Thesaurus 📝✨
This app is a lifesaver for essays and any other written assignments. Need to expand your vocabulary? Just type in a word, and it provides tons of synonyms to make your writing more sophisticated. It has really helped me level up my essays!

I hope it will be helpful 💪 Feel free to reach out if you have any questions 😉 You can also chat with me or other students directly through The Ambassador Platform.

Take care,

Hey @HarmonyB :smile:

A fun one to help with productivity is Forest, you plant a virtual tree and it grows only if you keep on the app and focus on your work.

I used to love Quizlet when I was a student as it really helped me remember important information. I didn't really know of any other apps when I was studying, I wish I did! I just used mind maps, oh and also recorded myself reading my notes out loud and then played it back during walks, bus rides etc. It really helped with retaining information.

Best of luck with your studies! :smile:
