Students learning with BrainyLemons

Our Story

BrainyLemons was founded in 2020 by a team of experienced GCSE teachers who recognized a gap in the educational resources available to students. We saw firsthand how students struggled with traditional learning methods and textbooks that failed to engage them in an increasingly digital world.

What started as a small collection of revision notes and practice questions has grown into a comprehensive online learning platform covering the entire GCSE curriculum across multiple exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC.

Our name, BrainyLemons, reflects our philosophy: learning should be refreshing, energizing, and leave a lasting impression. Just like the zesty flavor of a lemon, we aim to make education vibrant and memorable for every student.

Today, we're proud to support over 50,000 students across the UK, helping them achieve their academic goals and prepare confidently for their GCSE examinations.
