This channel is literally my saviour. I have GCSE’s this year and in my last mocks I discovered this channel. Safe to say I went from 4-5 to 7-6 in a few months. Thank you so much!! I am confident your videos will get me through the GSCE! :)

Did they? I've got my GCSE's this year.

[@royobbshorts]

what a great lesson finished in about 6 mins, which is like 10x less than a irl lesson.
also isnt it crazy we don't know our own body, but somehow our body knew to evolve to be like this. makes you think, doesn't it.
