Thank you so much for making these videos. I've been really depressed lately and it's been really hard for me to go to school. Luckily, I can watch your videos and learn from home!

[saadlakho]

Thank you man! Not only do you help us alot, but also inspire us! And I'm looking forward to your math course, your website is extremely helpful! Keep up the good work Tom and amadeus

Hey cognito, firstly thank you so much for these beautiful videos and I’d like to take a moment to help you out. On your playlists, if you open them up on a pc, you can see a settings button. Iv you click it and press the 3rd option which is ‘set as official playlist’, all your videos will be recommended together like in the playlist (eg. Anyone watching bio video #29 outside of the playlist will be recommended bio video 30 next even if they are not on the playlist.) I think this will help you get more views and help people navigate your content easier :D ty again

I can't really focus much in classes but these videos sum up everything and it's such a massive help.
I can't thank you enough for the help you've given to not only me but thousands more.
Look forward to more videos.

Thank you for continuing to post these great videos. They have been a part of my revision for nearly over a year now and thanks to you I am consistently hitting my 8's and 9's. My teachers will spend hours explaining something that you can sum up in a couple of words. My only complaint is I wish you would do these videos for other subjects like Computer science and DT. However, I do see how much effort it takes to make a video. Thanks again.

your the best teacher of physics i a student from pakistan and my physics was too weak byt because of your videos i have improved my physics a lot

[spainwithoutthes]

your explanation make the things so easy. And you way of giving the content make it fun and interesting somehow. And your examples are helping to explain your ideas and make it abvious, that's all acually helping because i am being ready for year 10, so when i start year 10, I'll already have idea about what we doing. And your teaching is legendary comparing to the school teacher, because you actually giving the idea but better and in a shorter time. Thx i appreciate your work man

[judedolan]

this is genuinely such a fantastic channel. For the last two years your videos have helped me so much with GCSE science. Thank you so much

[ilhamfahim]

Hey guys! Just letting ya'll know your doing God's Work here.
It's seriously amazing!
I was just wondering if your plan on making videos for A-Levels, i.e. AS/AL (or IAS/IAL)? That would be ridiculously helpful.
Also in your fantastic revision site too, if you all could add an A-Level Section, I'm pretty sure it'll help literal millions more around the world.
If you are planning to do so, that is great news, and take your time with it.
Have a great day!

Man, u literally sent the video exactly the time I was going to search it 🤣🤣🤣👌👌👌

[frostbite]

All these videos make great recap lessons. For example I had just remembered that stem cells could differentiate into any other cell, but I forgot that the stem cells found in bone marrow could ONLY differentiate into other types of blood cells.
Thanks Cognito!

[neginalmasi]

Thank you so much for making these videos for free. English is not my first language, and I found it difficult to just study with my books.

[tahiraamari]

These videos made GCSE so easy, i really wish this channel had alevel science vids

[jakefree]

Will you be updating your website? On the website it says this video is "coming soon"

[TeaLurker]

A great thing that happened is that Cognito made vids like these. They're easy and simple to understand and that's coming from someone who has memory issues :)

[szusorm]

thank you for helping my study it had lately

[onjoro]

Thank you so much, your website is so good for revising and practising for triple.

[fahimiqbal]

Hello Cognito, I just wanted to ask when are the videos of the mathematics coming that are left? like there are many topics that are left like transformation, vectors and many others. I was just concerned bcz it can take a lot time to upload and I have Cies in May/june ;) Thanks btw for all the videos!!!! They are really usefull!!

[jpa]

Please don't stop posting, your videos are helping me so much

[Nobotgoats]

Thank you so much got a biology exam in 3 days
