Why choose us

Why choose Up to Ten for study methods

An intensive course to learn and apply the study techniques validated by twenty years of cognitive research — including the Pomodoro Technique, spaced repetition and retrieval practice. The techniques are calibrated by age and differentiated between scientific and humanities subjects, and applied directly to YOUR real school material: planning, tests, books. The course adapts to each student's actual needs. In-person in Milan and online.

Thirty-year-old techniques aren't enough

"Sit down and study" worked for your parents. Today, between notifications and fragmented attention, you need a method built for your context.

Which techniques, when and why

Cognitive science has validated dozens of study techniques. The difference isn't knowing them — it's knowing which one you need, when, and how to apply it to your real needs.

Study-life balance

Studying well frees up time for sport, hobbies and friends — it doesn't eat them up. If your afternoons disappear into books until late at night, the problem is the Up to Ten Method, not the workload.

Who it's for

Who the course is for — Study Method

High school students

From general to technical: students who study hard but results aren't coming, who feel constantly rushed.

University students

Those facing the school-to-university leap who need a more structured method for complex exams.

Middle school students

Those who want to build solid foundations before high school, with age-appropriate techniques.

The Up to Ten Method

The Up to Ten method for effective study

We specialize in scientific teaching at all levels and bring the same precision to study methods. Here's what makes our approach unique.

Extreme personalization in mini-groups

Maximum 5 students per course. There's no universal method: some have visual memory, some prefer diagrams, some need frequent simulations. With tiny groups, we adapt every strategy to your learning style and specific needs.

From theory to immediate practice

We don't tell you 'you should do this.' You analyze YOUR school calendar, build YOUR weekly plan, create maps and formularies for YOUR real subjects. Every concept is immediately applied to your concrete situation.

Monitoring with proprietary technology

Our Up to Connect app lets you track planned vs actual study time, verify strategy effectiveness, receive alerts and personalized suggestions. No more guessing: you have real data to work with.

Differentiated method by subject

Math isn't studied like history. Physics isn't prepared like Latin. We teach specific approaches for each subject type: from concept maps for theoretical content, to formularies for scientific subjects, to simulations for practical tests.

Monitoring with real data

Our Up to Connect app has a section dedicated to study method: log planned vs actual time, subject by subject. You see in black and white where you lose efficiency, where you're most productive, which strategies hold up across your real week. A method is validated by data, not by good intentions.

Peer exchange, not lecture

Small groups aren't just logistics, they're method: peer exchange surfaces different strategies, builds critical analysis of what works and what doesn't, and challenges habits taken for granted. Seeing others' mistakes helps you question your own approach.

The Up to Ten Method

5 lessons built around YOUR school week:

1
1 lesson · Analysis of your weekly planning and workload
2
2 lessons · Explaining and applying the Up to Ten Method to scientific, humanities and language subjects
3
2 lessons · Coaching on independent planning and checking that you can run it on your own

At the end you take home:

  • YOUR weekly planner, calibrated to your real subjects and commitments
  • YOUR error library, organised by recurring patterns
  • YOUR concept maps and formula sheets, built on YOUR tests
  • Permanent access to the Up to Connect app to monitor ythe Up to Ten Method over time

Piano su misura per ammissione Politecnico Milano

Consiglio Up to Ten perché offre un supporto rapido, personalizzato ed efficace anche in situazioni con poco tempo a disposizione. Nel mio caso sono riusciti a costruire un piano di studio su misura per l’esame di ammissione al Politecnico di Milano e, grazie al mio tutor Andrea, ho potuto migliorare il mio punteggio fino a raggiungere l’ammissione. Consiglio Up to Ten perché unisce organizzazione, disponibilità e un supporto davvero efficace.

Da 2 a 8,5 in matematica

Competenza, serietà e capacità di motivare i ragazzi. Mio figlio, IV scientifico sportivo, è passato da un 2 del primo quadrimestre all' 8,5 dell' ultima verifica. Ci fossero state più stelle avrei dato il massimo. Grazie

Recuperate lacune in materie scientifiche e latino

Up to ten mi era stato suggerito da un’amica e a mia volta, dopo averlo provato, l’ho suggerito ad altri genitori i cui figli avevano necessità di recuperare lacune in materie scientifiche, ma anche in latino. E’ diventato un punto di riferimento per noi. Anna, la titolare, è eccezionale come insegnante, disponibilità e professionalità, così come i tutor che seleziona e che seguono i ragazzi.

Matematica compresa in quinta liceo

Faccio lezione con Andrea da 1 anno, sono in quinta liceo: è molto bravo, è riuscito a farmi capire la matematica e soprattutto a spronarmi quando avevo poca voglia o convinzione. Consiglio lui e Uptoten a chiunque voglia migliorare a scuola.

Test ammissione Economia Cattolica superato in 2 mesi

Sono stati veramente bravissimi, in meno di 2 mesi hanno permesso a mia figlia di superare il test di ammissione ad Economia dell Università Cattolica partendo da delle conoscenze matematiche molto scarse. Tra le altre cose sono anche molto professionali ed hanno una bellissima app che permette di monitorare l andamento delle lezioni. Super consigliati

Ammissione Bocconi International Economics and Finance superata

Con mio figlio abbiamo scelto Up To Ten per preparare l’esame di ammissione in "International Economics and Finance" per la laurea triennale in Bocconi alla fine della quarta superiore e l’esame è stato superato con successo. In particolare, desidero ringraziare Andrea e Anna, che lo hanno seguito con grande competenza, pazienza e professionalità. Non solo hanno colmato in modo efficace le lacune che aveva, ma sono riusciti a individuare gli errori nel suo metodo di studio e a guidarlo verso un approccio più efficace e consapevole. Ciò che abbiamo apprezzato di più è che il lavoro fatto non si è limitato alla preparazione dell’esame, ma ha contribuito a un miglioramento reale e duraturo nel suo modo di studiare. Consiglio Up To Ten a chi cerca un supporto personalizzato, capace di valorizzare gli studenti e di accompagnarli verso i loro obiettivi con metodo e attenzione.

How we work

Why we don't run the course in May or summer

A method is validated against your real school routine — tests to prepare for, daily deadlines, different subjects to manage in parallel. By May it's too late: the year is ending, it becomes an emergency rather than a method. In summer the pressure needed to test it is missing: what you learn in July risks evaporating by September. That's why the course only runs from September to April, when you have the time to experiment and consolidate.

After the course

Your academic future starts with a method that truly works

Beyond the base course, we offer personalized advanced paths: year-long app-assisted support, one-on-one method optimization sessions, specific preparation for university exams or admission tests.

Every lesson is designed to welcome students with no experience in organized studying. The transformation is the same, whether you come from years of difficulty or simply want to optimize an already functional method.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Study Method

The complete course costs €250 and includes 5 intensive two-hour lessons (10 hours total), spread over 2 consecutive weeks, plus 1 month trial of our Up to Connect app.
The course is for middle school, high school, and university students. We work with students from middle school through university, adapting strategies and tools to the complexity of each study path.
Absolutely! Often the problem isn't the amount of time spent studying, but the effectiveness of the Up to Ten Method. Our approach identifies exactly where energy is being wasted and how to optimize every study hour.
Our strength is extreme personalization (max 5 students) and focus on immediate practice with YOUR real material. Not generic theory, but concrete application verified with measurable data through the app.
Yes! Bring your school diary/planner, test calendar, books, and notes for your subjects. We work on your real material, not abstract examples.

The course is exclusively in-person at our Milan headquarters, De Angeli area. Physical presence is essential for the Up to Ten Method's effectiveness and strategy personalization.
Yes, after the trial month included with the course, you can continue using Up to Connect to monitor your study method. Your parents can follow progress from the dedicated dashboard.
Up to Connect logs planned vs actual time subject by subject, tracks progress and flags deviations. You see in black and white what's working in your week and what isn't.

Both. Our centre in the De Angeli area of Milan is the default, but the course is also available online via video lesson: effectiveness is the same, and for students outside Milan it's often the more practical choice. You choose the format — the Up to Ten Method is identical, calibrated to your routine in real time.
