He created the Dr Yannis SQE ecosystem to give candidates a credible place to begin without presenting an expensive commercial course as the only route into preparation.

The #FreeSQEPrep mission

The mission is straightforward: make useful SQE explanations, practice and planning available free or at low cost. The connected ecosystem includes the leading Dr Yannis SQE preparation channel on YouTube, written guidance, a weekly newsletter, SQE-style MCQs, a study planner, a knowledge-gap tutor, free livestreams, paid workshops and community support.

“Start with the resource that solves today’s problem. Move between learning, practice, planning and reflection as your needs change.”

Editorial principles

  • Clear limits. Independent resources are not presented as official SRA material or a guaranteed route to passing.
  • Primary sources. Time-sensitive assessment information should be checked against the SRA and legal propositions against current authority.
  • Useful explanations. Content aims to explain why an answer is right and why a distractor may be tempting.
  • Accessible support. Free and low-cost resources remain a central part of the ecosystem.
