Jonathan Hancock

Jonathan Hancock’s fascination with study strategies began while he was still at school. The techniques he developed helped him to achieve top grades in all his exams, including a First from the University of Oxford and postgraduate qualifications in education from the University of Brighton and University College London.

He has twice appeared in Guinness World Records for his remarkable feats of learning, and at the age of 22 he won the title of World Memory Champion.

Jonathan is a prolific author of books, courses and articles about thinking, learning and educational success. Following ten years as a teacher and school leader, he now advises universities with their teacher-training programmes, as well as working as a study-skills coach for a wide variety of organizations and clients.

Jonathan is a Board Director of the Learning Skills Foundation, an advisory member of the Learnus think-tank, and the Founder of The Junior Memory Championship, through which he supports the achievement of teachers and students across the UK.

A former BBC presenter, Jonathan still appears regularly on radio and TV, writes a monthly column for Reader’s Digest magazine, and has been the memory and learning consultant for all six series of the popular Channel 4 programme Child Genius.

Jonathan has recently taken up a role as an editor and writer with Mind Tools, a leading provider of online training in management, leadership and personal excellence.
