How I Learn and Study - My Process with the iPad 

This channel is so high quality why does he not have like a million subs

This feels like a TED talk and honestly I’m convinced

I am 70 years old. I too enjoyed learning at University. I wish I had, had the tools you have today. I too have an inquiring approach to learning. Thank you for showing me how I can use the latest tools at hand to enrich my golden years. You can, and did, teach an old dog new tricks.

You’re the only teacher that has ever helped me answer my most unanswered question: how to study? 😂❤️ So thank you so much 💕

Jesus I don’t even study and he literally have a 360 degree change on how and why I should study. I’m sold thanks for the TED talk

His way of learning is like how detectives solve crime scenes. "questions,questions,questions"

Why is this person making me feel blissful and ecstatic.? The voice? His genuine intent to help others being communicated unconsciously and non verbally? Idk. I just know it's a pleasure to watch his videos. Also, wonderful video BTW.

BRO YOU ARE ACTUAL THE COOLEST NERD IVE EVER ENCOUNTERED ON THIS PLATFORM!!!

honestly this channel is so underrated.

The QUALITY and aesthetic of this video is honestly way too good, almost like I don't deserve to watch this for free

Throughout my highschool learning, I've struggled with the material given. I thought at first that I was the issue, I was stupid and dumb. However, that wasn't true. The real issue was in HOW I learned and understood what was being taught. The way my books explained the material to me, wasn't in a way that I understood it because they taught different than how I learn. Since discovering this, I've made it a personal mission to seek out and understand how I learn. This video, after many many hours of watching others, has given me the answer to my question. Thank you for sharing this vital information with us. Thank you for doing your best in explaining it all. I've gained so much from this and I believe I will again be able to look as studying with great enthusiasm as I once did. 💜

Yo Sam, thank you! Finally at 28 years old, you have taught me how to learn 😁🙏

OMG!!! I am someone who has been going through massive amounts of YT videos on how to study... But THIS is the ONE that made sense and is doable without wasting time on creating / inventing ways to study!!!

Came to learn how to revise. Left feeling inspired about life.

low key, this video has just changed my whole life. absolutely amazing

This guy has in incredible mind. Not just for what he's accomplishing at University, but the style and editing of these videos. This one video on notetaking had some kind of mental breakthrough with me. Like it unlocked a treasure chest within me of all these incredible tools and ideas that i didn't have 5 minutes ago, to now to go be way more productive and take notes that I can actually use to help study *effectively!* . From a random stranger on the internet, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. (Yes, i know, it sounds like im being "extra", but i don't care) this is amazing stuff. Thank you.

I honestly was so shook when I saw you didn’t have millions of subscribers: this is SERIOUSLY professional content

"I can´t explain it in words" - no dude, u actually did it! *Thank you!*

I’m obsessed

""The secret to learning is taking something complex and then breaking it down and forming questions out of it""

This is probably one of the best RU-vid videos I've ever seen.

# Effective Learning - **Repetitive Implementations** - **Asking Right Questions** - **Explain to someone else** about it. - **take notes** and jot down points which will explain everything in few points - your mind will re-memorized after seeing these notes. - notes are a powerful thing - **notes will remember you everything in dept by just seeing points** and dots, which will connect itself.

Actually memorization masters use this technique to store things to long term memory: The use places on the body or a physical location around them, imagine an image that relates to the thing they're trying to remember, and tie an emotion to it. Like how Samuel creates visuals (image), places them in a location (follows mouth > stomach > small intestine), and then ties an emotion to it (curiosity - asking questions). Really perfect way to describe it - this is exactly how Children learn! Wonderful video, and great editing too! Thank you

Love this. I was in the same situation when I first started nursing school. I adopted a study method like this only on my fourth semester and thank goodness i was able to catch up to my courses simply by breaking down complex subjects into questions and answering them. My understanding skyrocketed !

let’s appreciate the fact that he wrote lines on the mitochondria for a video😂

This makes so much sense, I noticed when I've got all the questions in my mind answered, I normally have way more confidence in what I've learnt

Thank you Samuel! I am an adult learner, who never thought I'd see myself going to university at 54 years old, yet here I am. It's a 100% online environment I'm struggling like crazy in my first semester and THIS video has totally given support to something that I have known and applied to my teaching since forever: the importance of the question! Your energy and wisdom is greatly appreciated and when I have more time (who knows when!) I am definitely going to watch more of your videos. For now I have subscribed and will be following! Best wishes on your life journey!

It’s my first year of college and I’ve been struggling trying to memorize information. This was honestly the most inspirational thing I’ve seen all semester. Thank you. This technique actually saved me.

2:00 I hate memorising **chooses chemistry and biology as his subjects**

I found your channel by mistake but man, you're fascinating. You deserve a million subs. Greetings from Puerto Rico.

This is by far the best one on RU-vid. I entered A&P going off of a few of these “how to study for A&P” videos using their strategies and while some have worked for me, asking myself and teacher questions have made the difference between simply memorizing and knowing the material. And it doesn’t stop there. For every tiny ion that I know the function of, I get 10 more questions. Knowing how one muscle contracts, I have a thousand more questions. I started a list of questions about certain aspects of the body that we haven’t even begun yet. I am that excited about learning and actually knowing how our bodies function. AWESOME video!!

Thank you Samuel, Love your videos!! I also experienced similar things at uni, spent so many time just blandly following what others' did for study and memorizing all the notes and lecture materials I have. It doesn't help me learn, only made me less and less motivated with study. But EVERYTHING CHANGED once I started to break down every topic, using different learning tools for different type of subjects. It really is a magical experience!!

Plot twist: he’s an Apple marketing employee

Came for an iPad review, stayed for the amazing content. Great job Smauel!

the metaphor at the end with learning and the digestive system just amazes me. This man is a genius. I had a gap year after I graduated from High school and this video just made me so so so motivated to study again and be productive. Especially after COVID! Thank you, Samuel, I owe you

Really really thank you. I'm (or I was at least) totally lost in studying. Just like you said: I was trying to follow a recipe. But now: you're doing exactly what I was doing when I was lost. I asked questions. And I'm so thankful that you made this video. It gives me some hope - that it'll be ok in the end. Thanks. Many many thanks.

The amount of time spent to make each video is amazing! The “cinematics” and b-roll, transitions into each topic, the ability to write your notes on the video from the iPad Pro, and having a more simplistic way of describing to your viewers how you work and function is incredible! I really enjoy the style of the videos and how you approach things as they are very similar to mine when I learn! Thank you so much for the video! 😊

What I love about Samuel is that he goes straight to the point and DELIVERS what he promised

im crying my eyes out you are such a lifesaver! i love it this method!!!!

1:00 WHAAAAAAT THE INTRO WAS THAT?! damn... and the notes are amazing!!

I have honestly never felt so inspired to learn and genuinely take notes in my entire time at university 🤭

Finally! Someone who can clearly explain an effective way to learn. These are such useful tips that everybody should be using. Looking forward to this series!

I am amazed!! I've just finished my first year of uni and did the exact same thing, watching RU-vid videos on how to study; This is the only video/RU-vidr who ACTUALLY understands and studies like me and my brain! Amazed! Thought I was the only one who thought like this, this is what I have been waiting for my entire education! Thank you so much for all the amazing advice, can't wait for more content!!!

i really agree with this! honestly, with such subjects required for “memorization” it was at first tedious. however, i learned a way of studying myself: asking questions and organize my notes in a specific way so i break the topic down. then, everything clicked and the facts were like common sense to me. you explained it so beautifully and couldn’t have said better myself! it really made me think deeper into ways of studying! thank you!

I wish I watched this long time back :) but a great piece of info..

The real question is Will you ever share a PDF of your notes

I think Albert Einstein said “If you can’t explain it to a six year old, you don’t understand it yourself.” I think that speaks volumes. Breaking things down to its basic parts and understanding it by simplicity is what I feel many college professors lack. I love this amazing content you are making!

I graduated university almost 10 years ago now, but learning never stops. I continue to find new things to learn about and I do it happily because I actually made the choice to learn about these subjects. I study languages, different philosophies, and just about anything I take an interest in.

my big secret.. I sleep 8h. After that I can remember the whole day in almost picture perfect detail. With less than 8h sleep. I can't even remember how old I am.. After working 1y at the place i got a job at after school, they made me a partner. So seriously, sleep and make sure you read up on things you know will come up that week.

such perfect timing for this vid to have come out. started my second year of university last week and I'm trying to really be on top of everything. thank you so much 💖

I struggled with my first biology class. I never knew how to study. I would try and memorize everything. I failed and had to retake courses and it was very disappointing. I then realize that I have to understand the concept rather than memorizing. I am currently still trying to find my path on how to learn but your video is inspiring to me. It expands my knowledge on how to actually learn a topic. Thank you 🙏🏻

completely amazing sam, the level of value you've provided through this new understanding is yet to be discovered

I just found your channel and im wowed, I'm came looking for a kind of tutorial for a paperless life and now I feel you changed my life. You're very motivational!! Thank you

There's only 1 word to discribe what I had just watched. Wow! Brilliant!

I just wanted to say thank you. I've had a really rough day and the stress just got to me again. But your videos remind me why I am putting myself trough it. So thank you for reminding me why I am still studying and why I started with it in the first place

I found your channel today an an attempt l to learn how to learn/study with dyslexia. I am at age of 48(in a couple of weeks)...Learnt a few languages by movies/other ways (not in school or traditional method) without knowing that i have dyslexia (only discovered last 10yrs). Your are truly inspirational and spell out so many things in life that i learnt with entire my life with trauma and pains (and How old are you????). All this morning, i am going through your videos and i am crying thanks so much sharing your learnings and keep learning and sharing (is caring). You are a super star....... You will be something great beyond your imagination. I wish all the best for your life. RESPECT and Gratitude. Sending you virtual hug.

REMEMBER : FALL IN LOVE WITH LEARNING, SMILE WHEN YOU'RE STUDYIN'.... really helps me connects the dots y'know.... I have accepted the fact that I'm here to learn, not just to get A*. The exams are ways of proving that you DO understand the concept. LOVED the video Sam bhaiya! The world needs more people with your mindset, I TRULY appreciate what you're doing !

this channel is gonna blow up so fast and i love it

This is like a TED talk, a motivational speaker, and a classroom teacher combined and I love it. Amazing video!

Thank YOUUUUUUUUU!!!! 😍🙏🏿🙌🏾 Thank you for talking about ths processe, which is not only about getting to do it, but also having challenges! Thank you very much for this!

Most underrated Channel reveals most underrated study advice

The inspirational music at the end really got me going. I feel like I should be having some sort of intense breakthrough right now.😂

Samuel, you’re a BEAST at this and we thank you!!!!!

A Big thank you Samuel. This school year is not going as planned. This whole year I have been searching for the right way to study, and now I have found it because of you. I don’t like flashcards or summarizing, I like to visualize it with images and diagrams. Next year my school will have a new way of giving lessons, the students can decide by them self which subject they are following (it’s hard to explain) You can decide by yourself what you are doing and not being forced to follow the lesson. It’s really nice, because than I can use your method and make it my own. Thank You💛

this made me smile.being a dermatologist i have associated emotions with each patient i deal with.not only did it help me with my bedside manners but the topic got imprinted into my brain. i hope you work on this too as you journey into being an extraordinary human being.

I'm going to adopt this learning style because everything I've tried before hasn't worked for me. I always manage to forget some of the most important things and remember absolute garbage. Maybe I might just have to transition from paper to iPad, or something of the sort. Ultimately, these types of videos you've created have actually opened my eyes to how others study and actually retain information. I appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos, they truly help me

This guy has me so excited about learning and that says a lot! Thank you so much for the video, I really enjoyed it.

This is the greatest video ever! So educational and such a necessity for a teacher. You seem like you're going to be a doctor or something but this concept of asking questions and breaking things down is the greatest quality of a teacher :) We all learn like little children and when adults try to sound smart they use these complex words and throw having degrees in their normal speech but it just makes them incomprehensible and the reaction of people is, "I don't know what they are talking about so they must be smart and I'm dumb, oh well." But the mark of a true teacher and learner is simplicity, which I've tried to use with my students. Even though I'm a music teacher this info in your video is relevant to my subject too and I've already started making notes like you for the students... They're loving it :P YOU'RE THE BEST!!!

Binge watched all your videos and you've inspired me to make a text book out of my lecture notes! Also, you're serious professor material, you've got a talent for breaking things down and making them interesting

This is the one channel I don’t scroll through comments while watching. Something about the videos are just so captivating.

Thank you for teaching me to write questions down as I am studying. I am forever getting 'stuck' when I study because my understanding doesn't feel complete. I get stuck in the details, everything grinds to a halt - it's exhausting. But writing questions down as they come up has become such an important tool for me to keep moving forwards. Learning is branched and often circles back on itself, but the overall direction is forwards. Thank you, Samuel :)

This... this just made me have *that* moment that everyone talks about. Watching this just made everything click for me, thank you for this!! I can’t wait to learn and study better as I go into nursing school and further on.

I’m getting Ali Abdaal feels…

The searching on youtube part at 2:49 is super relatable😂😂😂

Thank you for the video Samuel. This will definitely help me to learn things out of my subject and different fields

I just want to thank you. I‘m so looking forward to test it. To watch your vids is a true pleasure! 😃

I loved it thank you so much It all makes sense now I even learnt how things work Even if I’m a graduate and I’ve been working for a while but it kinda opened up my eyes for a lot of things I’m sharing your video with my nieces and nephews Thank you 🙏🏻 again

Kudos to you. This is sooo goood. I feel like I’ve been converted to another way of thinking. It makes so much sense. I’m going to see if it works for me.

You literally just changed my life . Thankyouu!0 I hope you realize one day and are awarded of the much deserving audience and attention because u are changing people's lives for the better .

Thank you, Samuel, for this vlog. I am a retired teacher with a 14 years old daughter studying in Australia. Until May 2019 she was homeschooled by me in Philippines but the state system here has different ideas about how to screw up a child's education. She goes to the local school each day and we debrief in the afternoon. She then continues her learning into the evening. She understands that the time she spends attending the brick and mortar school is almost useless. She is much further advanced than her peers in mathematics, English, History, philosophy and psychology. The school is unable to provide her with resources so she continues to learn Russian at home. She has no option to study history in Year 9... I could go on, but you get the point. School is a place she must attend to satisfy the legal requirements but it is not a place of learning excellence for her. It may work for some but for my girl it deflects her from a more practical path. I enjoyed and appreciated your vlog because you have provided a direct way I can show her to make notes. I will encourage her to follow your lead and continue to break the subjects down by asking questions before building them up again with note taking.

Again another amazing piece of cinematography...😌

This is such an interesting way to learn. Honestly, I too, don't like mindless mugging up of things. Learning how to learn has always been on my mind. I experimented with the different techniques and now I think I need to try this out. Amazing video, the quality and content are amazing as always. Thank you for making such a mindful and informative video!

Wow! I am so thankful to come across your channel today. I needed this!

Thank you so much for these contents. Your style of learning is by far the one that is closest to my own compared to other RU-vidrs. Hearing from your experience tells me that I'm going the right way with the steps I want to take in my own studies. Thank you so much! (I almost never leave comments but I had to tell you how inspiring your videos are)

you put so much effort in your videos- smart and aesthetic! love it

This video has just motivated me to sit down ,go back to the basics and use a different approach to learning. Thank you

No matter what... you still teach people how to learn. Its great! People need inspiration to move forward.

Thank you so much! I‘m just loving it!

Thank you to the max! This was just "DIFFERENT!" Very informative and an eye opener.

Imagining when your done with schooling and studying. You would be an amazing teacher.

I have been looking for a video like this for the longest time. This is the only video that gives me a clear understanding. Funny enough, I used to love learning through my curiosity but, I felt like every-time I tried it in school, I was met with harshness so as I moved on to my last year of high school and college, I lost that sense of curiosity and I struggled to find effective ways of learning. Thank you so much for this video. Amazing content!!!!!

I don’t know how I found you here. I’m just so grateful that I did. Thank you for sharing your thoughts to the best of your ability. You are a blessing.

Your channel for how many subscribers you have, is phenomenal its so professional. Glad this video is just the start :)

completely mind-boggling. kudos to you man. words were so well put. I didn't have to repeat the video to understand anything better. you can make a great educator.

This video is amazing!! You're so inspiring. Please continue to make videos!! I hope your channel grows because you deserve it

Your note is very clear!. I love this video so much. Thank you! Your video saved me

I applied these techniques in Economics and The result are outstanding! Great work. Please also make a video on how to revise for exams.

This is amazing. Fun fact: I was studying the digestive system for my pre med preparation. Thanks for the video.

I found a video which I have been looking for years everywhere .Thank you! It will probably change my life.

I mean this with everything....this is one of the best video on learning I’ve ever seen. Definitely make and share all info about learning and education etc
