Cram courses aren't what they're hyped up to be.
The appeal of a cram course is strong: short, intensive preparation before semester to get a flying start. But the real appeal is that it's an easy way to make lots of money quickly.
A head start alone does not make much difference in the outcome! It's called the fade-out effect and occurs because most students aren't able to stay ahead, causing flying starts to crash into painful grinds. It's like trying to sprint a marathon.
Don't believe me? Ask around and you might discover something interesting!
We ran cram courses.
But once we realised that it promised the world without delivering, we changed the way we support students to something that actually works.
Good grades are a symptom of good habits, study skills, environments, stress management, time management, focus, support and high-quality resources.
One-and-done? More like doesn't-cut-it.
Academy memberships are designed with the entire student experience in mind:
- Study weeks or months ahead
- Test your understanding
- Develop better study habits
- Connect with like-minded and supportive peers
- Avoid the pitfalls that cause 80-90% of students to fail
- Receive continuous support and guidance throughout the year
Focus on doing, instead of worrying if you're doing it right.
Study Ahead at Your Pace
The Khan Academy of Auckland premed. Ask us about adding online courses to your membership to unlock the most comprehensive premed resource for Auckland University medical admission.
Innovation through experience
Our courses are more than just video tutorials. We leverage our experience into world-class teaching in a fluid online course that follows international best-practice guidelines. As you progress, students not only learn the material, but also learn to study more effectively.
How we construct each course
Professors have expert bias and content can be overwhelming. We go through the courses and dissect each topic into their core concepts, often combining multiple lectures and sources.
Not all explanations are equal. We explore different teaching options and concept pathways to identify the simplest way for students to understand it to an A+ level.
Teaching effectively is about creating logic and meaning. Topics are re-organised based on our evaluation and taught by our tutors from the foundations up. This allows it to be high-yield for top-achievers, while simple enough for beginners.
Overcome difficulties before you face them. After teaching for so many years, we can predict problems that students will face at each turn, allowing us to include studying tips to overcome them smoothly while everyone else is scratching their heads in a few weeks time.
On Academy it'll be a 14-minute video, but in the lecture they take like 50 minutes to explain the same thing and not as well.

JTT vs For-Profit Companies
Social Enterprise: A Model for Sustainable Impact
Subsidised Pricing.
We charge for market-leading services, subsidising the cost based on every student’s financial situation. Students pay anywhere from original price to below-cost to nothing at all, depending on their situation.
100% Reinvestment. 0% Profit.
All funds after paying staff wages are reinvested into improving services, giving more in-kind scholarships, paying for 3rd-party mental health services for premed students, producing free content and running community programs.
What is a social enterprise?
Social enterprises achieve a positive impact (like charities), but using scalable and sustainable models (like businesses). Many consider social enterprises as “smart charities” and a way to make a difference without relying on donations and volunteers.
The Best of Both Worlds
Get the very best in support, while supporting a good cause.
