If you don’t know who I am, my name is Simon Katkov, and I’m the founder of UofTearless. I post educational videos to help students transition from high school to University. In the past 4 months, I’ve grown my Instagram page (@uoftearless) from less than 100 followers to 30K+, my best video doing over 7.5M views on Instagram, and several others in the 100,000s.
A little about me:
I’m 21 years old.
2014: I made my first ever YouTube video.
2022: I started in University. My first two majors were Biology and Physiology. My second two majors were BioChemistry and Human Molecular Genetics. My third program of study is now the Psychology Specialist, essentially a double-major in the same area of focus—and decievingly challenging.
2023: I joined the Varsity rowing team.
January 2023: I first came up with the idea of UofTearless—a platform where I can impact the most student’s lives by giving them the knowledge I wish I had when starting University.
August 2024: I wrote and recorded my first ebook/audiobook (“Flow-State Secrets”).
September 2024: I made my first video under the UofTearless name.
October 2024: I personally onboarded 25 students, teaching them everything I knew—(now I know more, but I’ll teach that too).
December 2024: I received proof my method changed their lives in the forms of testimonials (which will be posted once the UofTearless.com website is updated so you can see for yourself).
January 2025: I started planning and scripting the “2-Hour Method” course.
March 2025: I launched the “2-Hour Method” course.
And 1000+ hours later, here we are!
To every student fighting to be more, I’m here to tell you that no matter how hard things get, you can always improve your best. And not only will I tell you, but I’ll SHOW YOU HOW!
“When you’re so locked in you start enjoying the work—despite a seemingly receding finish line—you’ll know you not only have enough to make it, but even go around again.”
Learn fast, live slow.
Simon.
