It is amazing to see what the human brain is capable of – with Tansel I boosted my brain power and self-conscience. In summary: Tansel is the most lateral thinker I know. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! "

"I found that the Speed Reading course has helped me improve my reading speed & understanding of technical material that I am exposed to day to day.”
Naci Basak, IT Specialist

"The one-on-one coaching sessions with Tansel have seriously been one of the best investments I have made for my personal and professional development. Tansel is very supportive in his teaching style and provided me with the tools and knowledge to realise the full potential of my mind. I feel a lot more confident in my role at work and feel like the sky’s the limit now with my personal and professional goals. It’s now up to me to practice what I have learnt with the assurance that Tansel is available for support even after the intensive 5 week course has been completed. Cheers Tansel – you rock!"
Liz O'Loughlin, City of Monash

"Tansel's impact as a teacher is remarkable. I have seen his clients grow rapidly in their capacity to remember. He is a master of memory but also of sharing how anyone can do it."
Mark Dobson, Performance Coach

"Being a comedian with a bad memory is not funny. The number of times I've stood onstage, mind totally blank, in a spotlight, in front of hundreds of people, sweating bullets, sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it. So when I got a script for an audition for a play, I thought to myself, "Crikey! I can't even remember things I write myself let alone things other people write." So I went to Tansel, the memory doctor for help. After only one session and a few days practise not only did I know my part, but I knew everyone else's in the play as well and did the audition from memory, with the utmost confidence, no script in hand, which gives you more freedom to act and shows the auditioners that you've put in some work and that you're serious. I'm using these techniques in my comedy and they work a treat. Tansel has probably added a few years to my life, stopped a few grey hairs and saved me from a few deaths on stage by taking away that stress of not knowing what's coming up next. Thanks, my man, you're a magician…what's your name again?"
Hung Le, Comedian

"Over the next ten years education will be massively disrupted. Everyone will be able to learn anything they want five to ten times faster than they do now.

This enjoyable book also provides practical exercises, tools, tips and tricks to practise these skills not traditionally taught in schools. Congratulations to Tansel for leading the way to faster and better learning, and setting the groundwork for the next decade of education. The future of learning is here."
