Taught yourself anything recently?
Used any good websites/software/books for doing so?
The reason I’m asking is I’ve been wanting to teach myself A-level physics for ages but I’m finding it a struggle. I did some during the pandemic - there’s loads of free stuff online - but it’s difficult to stay disciplined without someone telling you what to do. Also the lack of free time.
It would be really beneficial for me if I can pull this off - I teach GCSE physics despite that only being the highest physics qualification I have myself. Been doing it a while so I have a top set GCSE class now, and some of their questions are testing the boundaries of my knowledge. Also I’m just interested in physics and spend a lot of my free time watching YouTube videos that I barely understand.
Been thinking about getting a subscription to Brilliant or something similar. I’ve done the free trial and it seems great but it is quite expensive. Anyone used it?

Weird because this is exactly what I tell my own students yet I’m incapable of following my own advice. I think my main issue is sticking to it when I don’t have a clear end goal, like I’m not working towards an exam or anything. I would like some kind of science Duolingo which is what Brilliant is, it’s just really expensive.
We don’t subscribe but I could ask them if they would consider it. Not a lot of spare money about unfortunately.
Wait… I think Brilliant might be free for educators. I entered my school website and email and I can access all the lessons now. Seems too good to be true!
