The Science of Learning

Understand how your brain learns.

Learning is not simply about spending more time studying. It involves attention, memory, understanding, practice and the ability to retrieve what you know. Explore the brain, discover what researchers know about its functions, and see how neuroscience, genetics and learning science inform the way we teach.

Understanding the brain is the beginning.

At the Neurogenetics Institute, neuroscience, genetics and learning science inform our approach to education. Discover how specialist teaching, structured academic learning and purposeful practice can work together.

The science

Understanding how you learn comes first

Memory, attention, executive function: the Institute studies how learning actually works, and turns that research into practical tools.

It starts with your Brain Profile: a short, free assessment showing which of the ten Learning Archetypes fits how you learn. Five minutes, a free account, and the result is yours for good.

An educational assessment, not a clinical or medical one. The Institute does not provide genetic testing, clinical diagnosis or medical assessment.

The Neurogenetics Academy

The private online school

The Institute’s school: live lessons with subject specialists in classes capped at 8, from KS1 to A-Level, every one recorded. A real timetable, marked work, and teaching shaped by the Brain Profile.

Our methods were built and used inside London private schools and colleges since 2011. A school like this is rare, and it stays rare on purpose — classes close at eight, and applications are read by our teachers.
