I use Treehouse, Codecademy and Freecodecamp interchangeably when learning JavaScript as I believe they all offer unique learning opportunities.
I'm currently trying to grasp the 'this' keyword in JavaScript but struggling to get my head around it. I wondered if Treehouse has a course or video on the subject. I have had a look but can't find anything.
Alternatively, is someone please able to share an explanation or good resource?
Thank you!

have a look at the docs at MDN. They have a great explanation:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/this
The 'this' keyword is tricky sometimes but always think of the context in that your code is running.
Happy coding!
