About the author
I learned how to learn the hard way, on the road to becoming a Chartered Accountant. For more than 20 years I’ve taught that system to learners.
empowermint is where I share it: a free planner to get organised, a book with the full method, and new articles on the blog.
The blog
Practical articles on studying, exams and mindset, from 20+ years of tutoring.
empowermint is an education brand from Johannesburg, South Africa. It was created by Ebrahim Moolla, a Chartered Accountant, CA(SA), who has tutored learners for more than 20 years. It exists to help school learners, university students and their parents learn how to learn: how to plan, focus, stay calm under pressure and turn effort into results.
Most of us are never taught how to study. We are handed a timetable, a pile of books and a deadline. empowermint starts one step earlier, with the method. Everything here is written in plain language, so a Grade 8 learner and a final-year student can use it on the same day.
The empowermint study planner turns your subjects and exam dates into a short daily plan. You see what to study, for how long and what can wait, so you stop wondering where to begin.
The method centres on 25-minute focus sessions, short breaks and a simple weekly review. Small, repeatable steps build the confidence that last-minute panic never does.
From past papers to exam-day routines, you learn how to practise under real conditions and learn from your mistakes, so your marks improve for the right reasons.
You do not need to spend anything to start. These tools are free:
If exams feel like a wall, the planner breaks them into days and sessions. Add your subjects, add your exam dates and follow the plan. The national exam timetable is published by the Department of Basic Education, so you can copy your dates straight in.
Modules, tests and assignments pile up fast. The planner gives you one place to rank your subjects and see every deadline, so the heaviest week never arrives as a surprise.
You want to help without nagging. The planner gives your child a plan they own, and the book gives you the language to support them calmly.
By the end of the week, the plan has become a habit instead of a list on paper.
The empowermint study planner is free. You can sign up, build your plan and use the 25-minute timer without paying. The first 30 pages of the book are also free to read.
No. It opens in your phone's browser, and you can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app on iPhone or Android.
Yes. The planner works for any subjects and exam dates, so it suits school learners and university students alike.
