It has over 3,000 curriculum focused video lessons for UK students aged 13-18 years old. All the video lessons are moderated by our Learning champions (expert teachers) to check for any inaccuracies. Each week O2 Learn awards £2000 to the best lesson, split between the teacher and their school department.

"Insights drawn from neuroscience not only provide educators with a scientific basis for understanding some of the best practices in teaching, but also offer a new lens through which to look at the problems teachers grapple with every day.
