Both my husband and I wished we had such information when we were in school! I am really excited that our son has these tools going forward for high school and beyond. He is generally a below average student by national standards, with the desire to be much more, and we know that he will have new confidence and the tools that will support him to achieve improvement. Your teaching is fantastic and I am sure in no time at all every skill and tip will go through our minds instantly when needed, to apply to many life moments. They already have! Thank you for putting yourself out there and making it so easy, practical, and accessible to us.
