Can we just appreciate how all these videos are free to watch?

‘Tell your friends about us’ I told my whole school about what an awesome channel cognito is 😉

[GOF]

I'm just going to say I appreciate you very much. The detail you put in these videos is not something I don't notice, its amazing and it truly is the difference between a good tutor and a great tutor. The importance of breaking something down or simplifying it in its teaching form can quite often be ignored by tutors.

Yo cognito, can you give your vids a darker background ( kinda like a dark mode on your phone)?? Cuz I watch these vids at night before my test and it hurts my eyes.

This is amazing! I recently discovered this channel AND the website and it has helped me so much. The videos are laid out really clearly and I LOVE the font!! Plus, everything is said so clearly and is so helpful! I've told my friends all about this channel, and I am literally over the moon from discovering this! 🤩Keep doing this! 🙂
