I’m so grateful to have attended the Brainfit classes at St Martins. The resources were generous, and I especially enjoyed the memory techniques—like using the alphabet for word recall and fun mnemonics for things like cranial nerves. I’ve started naturally using these tools in everyday life and I’ve learned that I enjoy using pictures and shapes to help me recall things. The other day, someone gave me a website URL and I didn’t have a pen—but I instantly found myself making connections to remember it. And I still remember it! Most importantly, I’ve also noticed a more positive way of connecting with others. Thank you so much!

”Wonderful Brainfit to Drive course – I really enjoyed the whole lecture and certainly learnt a whole new aspect of the cognitive tests.”

“I have recently finished a course called Brainfit For Life with Jessie. It is the best thing I have done to improve my mind for ages and will continue to practice the mental and physical exercises I learnt. I also enjoyed meeting a new group of people, we intend to continue meeting once a month for a chat over coffee. Thank you Jessie you were great.”

“There are so many pills and potions around which are supposed to help the brain it is refreshing to know that exercising the brain as you would your body is more beneficial with no negative side effects. The course was very helpful.”

“I had an opportunity to practice remembering names at a social gathering on Friday where we met a lot of new people. Being an inquisitive person I found it easier to probe into people’s names rather than weave a story around them. For instance I was introduced to a lady called Sheryl and asked her if she was Sheryl or Cheryl. By concentrating on people’s names and repeating them as soon as possible I was able to remember most people I met, even differentiating between an Annette and a Lynette so was quite pleased.”

“It is an extremely stimulating and useful course at any age or stage. I like the follow-up emails which remind me to keep up the things I’ve learnt.”

“I think focus-connect-rehearse says it all for me. I met a man a few days ago and he was actually admiring my bike. We ended up chatting and he told me his wife was Sue and he was Neil. Bingo!”

“Thanks for yesterday’s ‘power hour & a half!’ After the training, I spoke about the content with my husband and he particularly liked (as well as I) methods to learn someone’s name by taking a mental picture and making relevant associations. We will both be trying this as and when we meet new people.”

The best course I have eve been on. So practical.

”Excellent for one’s confidence. I now feel I know what will be expected of me and I can prepare. Great information.” 

“I am very much enjoying my Brainfit class. Highly recommend”

“I am getting better at remembering people’s names and basically I think my brain was getting lazy in retirement. I think the course was a much needed wake up call.”

“It has given me the confidence for my next test. Thank you so much”

“The feedback we received on the Brainfit At Work session was very positive. Everyone was engaged & loved the mix of science, research and practical ‘here is what you can put in place tomorrow’ tips. Your ability to hold the crowds attention with your energetic delivery style together with thoughtful answers to individual questions was fabulous. Thank you so much Jude.”

Very worthwhile. I am turning 75 soon and although its a while until I need to sit my Senior Driving test, I want to be ready.

“I think the Memory Tune course is brilliant. The material has been carefully thought through providing a balance of information, stimulation and user-friendliness. As I have learned and practiced what I can do to help me remember names, appointments etc., I have found myself with a new general feeling of alertness. ‘Memory Tunes’ is life-enriching!”

“Before the golf club meeting, I visualized the people I might meet and ran their names through my mind. I could ‘see’ them. This helped me recognize people and their names quickly. I also used the focus – connect strategy when I met a new club member. I listened to his name, used it when I replied and introduced him to another friend almost straight away. It works – I proved it!”

I found it fascinating – I want to do another one!

Very Helpful. A great investment in my wellbeing
