Case Study: SuperLearner Academy achieves 80,000+ global students and launches premium courses with Thinkific

How Jonathan Levi Built a Successful Online Course Business Teaching Speed Reading & Memory Skills

SuperLearner Academy, founded by Jonathan Levi, teaches speed reading and memory skills to a global audience but faced the limits of marketplace platforms — capped pricing, heavy discounts, and limited control over branding and student experience. To scale beyond low-priced Udemy sales and offer premium, high‑value courses, Jonathan needed a hosted course solution and chose Thinkific to run his own academy.

Jonathan launched his premium “Become a SuperLearner — The Master Class” on Thinkific (Dec 26, 2015), gaining full control over pricing, branding, and student communication; Thinkific’s reliability and support helped him build a multi‑channel marketing funnel and invest in production and staff. The move shifted his business mix (Thinkific grew from ~25% to ~50% of revenue after Udemy’s pricing change) and today SuperLearner Academy reaches 80,000+ students in 186 countries, with the majority of revenue (around 60%) coming from its premium courses hosted on Thinkific.
