= Tutoring sessions for SuperMemo =

I offer one on one sessions for SuperMemo for Windows and everything related to it. You will find detailed explanations in this page.

Hours tutored so far: +400h

== Book a session ==

See [[Contact me]]. Once you contacted me I will send the link to book a session. You can reuse the same link to book more sessions in the future.
== Target audience ==

Let me present to you different cases where I can help you with:

* You start '''''brand new''''' to SuperMemo, Incremental Reading and Spaced Repetition in general.
* You start ''brand new'' to SuperMemo and Incremental Reading, but you used a ''SRS app'' before. such as Anki and you want to '''transition'''.
* You have started and ''discontinued'' to use Supermemo back and forth. Potentially because of its '''learning curve.'''
* You have been using SuperMemo at a basic level, and you want to '''take it to the next level'''.
* You want to ''learn '''something specific''''' using SuperMemo: university, a language, scientific domains, history, etc.
* You want '''technical help''' with AutoHotKey scripts, setting a backup solution to the cloud, SM Assistant, etc.
* You have a battery of '''accumulated questions''' about SuperMemo you cannot resolve as of today.
* You want a '''''fast track'''''. In other words, convenience over time. I will save you time reading in the documentation, asking in the community, or even watching my own youtube videos. You will achieve a substantial proficiency in Incremental Reading in a short period of time.

== Platform ==

Based on my experience, '''Google Meet''' works the best, especially for latency. It it the default platform for me. '''Zoom''' is a good option if you want to give me control over your computer (mouse, keyboard, etc). '''Discord''' is fine most of the time.

== Sessions ==

The session consist of a video call, usually sharing your screen and optionally your webcam. I usually use my webcam unless there are latency issues. I will adapt to you regarding the duration of session, or if you want to take breaks in between, etc. I strongly suggest contacting me before scheduling a session so we can set goals beforehand.

For extended tutoring I usually have a Notion page shared with you where we track your goals, tasks, questions, etc related to SuperMemo and free learning.

== Language ==

By default, I offer my services in English. I am fully competent in Spanish and Catalan, so we can use any of these three languages as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingua_franca vehicular language].

== Time ==
I live in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_European_Time Central European Time]. You can quickly check our time difference [https://time.is/CET here]

== Payment ==

'''Rate''': The rate has been 'pay what you want' since I started until April 2024. Then a minimum hourly rate of 30€ was set until July 2025. Then 35€ and now 40€.

'''Payment methods''': You will be aable to pay through all payment options accepted by Stripe.

==Testimonials==

{{QuotePicture|I have been using SuperMemo daily for about 5 months now, and besides being part of an epic and super supportive SM community (discord), I know for a fact that I would not have been able to get this far if it wasn't for Guillem's tutoring.

Those first few weeks of being exposed to the SM software and way of incremental thinking was very formative for me. And yes, there are large text opuses and manuals online that I could have read through on my own, but those '''were very intimidating'''. Furthermore, the SM user-interface 'was' also quite involved upon first sight by a total newbie like myself.

What I love about Guillem's approach to SM tutoring is that he tackles the challenge in an 80/20 Pareto Principle manner. '''He focuses on that which will give you the biggest bang for you buck right now''' and that which will '''ensure continual growth''' of expertise into the future. The hinges that will swing open the biggest doors along your SM and IR journey.

I highly recommend Pleasurable Learning's tutoring sessions for all beginners.
Thank you so much Guillem!

{{QuotePicture|Entering the world of SuperMemo can feel like stepping into a Formula 1 cockpit. The allure of speed and performance, plus the confusion and helplessness of staring at a thousand different buttons.

Sure, you can read the manual while fiddling with the interface for a minute or two thousand, like I did. But '''what you really want is to save tens of hours at a time'''. Get yourself an instructor, start on the right track, thank me later.

Guillem is that guy. Ask him questions, lean on his experience, benefit. '''His insight ranges from detailed explanations of the obscurest SuperMemo functions to broad discussions about meta-learning strategies''', including everything in between.

I have zero reservations in endorsing Guillem, only supreme confidence that '''he will help you become a better learner''' and SuperMemo user

{{QuotePicture|I have had several SuperMemo training sessions with William covering various things such as technical issues with the software to implementing a backup / syncing system for my collections across multiple PCs and I am very happy both working with William as a teacher and also the results it has brought for me by improving my ability to use the software in '''better ways and more flexibility'''.

William has a great ability to teach as he is very '''patient and professional''' whilst his enthusiasm for SuperMemo makes learning the software fun and inspirational as he can show you interesting and useful new ways of working with the software to '''accelerate your learning'''.

William's extensive SuperMemo knowledge and helpful personality make him '''an ideal person to learn from'''. I highly recommend training with him.

== Who is behind Pleasurable Learning ==

I am '''[[Guillem Palau]]''' from Barcelona, Spain (born 1987). My name translated to English is '''William Palace'''.

I suffered a lot in the school system. I wasted my potential. I may say more than usual as I did nothing better than repeating 3 times the same high school year, followed by studying multiple bachelor and master’s degrees in college. Now I do learn purely following my learn drive, which luckily survived all years of coercion and I am willing to put all efforts to put the Prussian school model to an end by making people aware of the slavery children are suffering in the school system by writing, podcasting, tweeting, researching, learning.

I started the channel back in August 2020 from day one, that is, from the very first time I recorded my experience [[learning in public]]. After about 40 hours of use, I considered I had acquired minimum proficiency of Incremental Reading and I changed the style of the videos. Initially were just screen-cast of my raw experience and some recap videos.

=== Introduction ===
The course initially started as an extended reaction to the existing course. While recording I noticed the course was chaotic and the contents were not structured. Much later I realized I started doing most of the videos from scratch eather than reacting, so I finally decided to stop and create my own curse from scratch: more atomic, different order of contents, etc.

=== Contents ===
The reaction to the original Fowl's course is distributed in 178 videos across 14 sections. The total duration is 20:29:57. That is, almost 20.5 hours of edited footage.
