Testimonials

Here’s what students, parents and educators had to say about our services:

Crystal B, Parent

“Wow, as a parent of a 5 year old whose school just closed suddenly this course could not have come at a better time for me. It gave me so much instant relief and really calmed down any anxieties I had about this new home school journey we were on. The tips in the course were easy to follow and we have started to put a lot of them in place already.”

—Crystal B, Parent
Barbara P., San Diego, CA

“I work with kids and have younger siblings who are currently stuck at home for the rest of the semester. I found myself struggling with them and decided to take a look at this course. It really is full of some fundamental basics to keep in mind when working at home with my siblings during this awkward transition from a classroom to our living room.”

—Barbara P.
Fiona M, School Principal

“This [How Every Parent Can Be An Effective Teacher] is a great little course and is well presented. As the principal of a school, I am very happy to send this out to our parents. I have enjoyed working through it and it has revitalized some great points of teaching.”

—Fiona M., School Principal, Sydney, Australia
Lethabo, Student

“I love Learning How to Learn and the three barriers. It’s the best book in the world. I really learnt a lot. This book changed the way I study, by helping me study easier and faster. I know when I run into trouble and I know what to do when I run into trouble to get myself out and doing well again.”

—Lethabo M., Student, Johannesburg, South Africa
