The Study Expert. The Thing That Schools Are Getting BACKWARDS About Learning: Yi Han

Building students with character, not students who can take tests. Yi Han went from Ds to Dux at one of the best schools in Australia. She's now advocating AGAINST what got her there. Instead, she's teaching how to achieve more with less time and has mentored thousands of students on her secret method.
