TESTIMONIALS
WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO SAY
Astounded!
“I am astounded at my progress! I tripled my reading speed and increased my comprehension. I learned how to pick out the key points, focus on reading the test questions with clarity, and I passed my nursing boards!”
This class prepared me
“It gave me the motivation and methods I needed to succeed in my first year in Bio-medical studies. I have now become a critical thinker and active learner when approaching homework. This class prepared me for the rigors of higher learning. Giving me the tools I needed to not only pass my classes, but to conquer them! I wish I would’ve taken her class before college or even high School”
Extremely helpful
“Learning how to truncate what I had to learn, and learning how to reorganize my lectures into manageable portions that grabbed the attention of my brain was extremely helpful for me. Now I don’t spend so much time with my nose in my books!”
Shifted my attitude
“My methods of studying and assimilation knowledge were no longer working for me. I committed 100% to Dr. [Shirani de Alwis-Chand’s] methods and I experienced a DRAMATIC shift in my attitude, my confidence and in my professional skills. I will be a better providee because of this!”
