The "12 Things I Wish My Students Knew" videos from Graham Best | |
Memory trainer Graham Best, with 30 years of teaching experience once created a paid course at his memory-learning.com website. The site is defunct now but the free video overview -"12 Things I Wish My Students Knew"- that came with the course, is still available. With due respect to Graham and gratitude I would like to hand over his experience to my visitors by presenting the course at this page. I extracted the sound from the video's and listed them as mp3 soundfiles. If you want to see the original video, with Graham presenting the tips, click in the right column. Graham also published a book called " Memory made easy" back in 1980 which probably still is available. For more details click the title. | |
