Jane Genovese

Jane Genovese is the owner, coordinator and presenter of Learning Fundamentals, an organisation that gives students the edge over their studies.

Jane gives workshops on memory techniques and general study strategies, exam techniques, getting organised/time management, managing stress and emotions as well as sustainability issues in a fun and interactive way.

She graduated from university in 2009 with a Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Psychology with first class honours and received a Vice Chancellor’s Award for Academic Excellence. In 2010, she commenced her PhD in the area of environmental education at Murdoch University.

Jane wants students to walk an easier path than she has while studying.

“High school was stressful. I worried a lot, told myself I was stupid and couldn’t do it: totally irrational thinking. I also didn’t know how to study smartly, but through a bit of trial and error and a lot of research, I found ways that really helped me. I want to share this with others, so I created these workshops”

Jane learned her trade early on in life by being involved in public speaking since age 10 and winning State Champion Public Speaker at age 12.

She has also taught internationally at Zhejiang Normal University in China and worked as a facilitator for Perth companies GoZone and The Phoenix Team.
