This really gets me pumped for the ACT which has always intimidated me. We covered many concepts never considered, and they were easy to remember. Thanks so much!

I thought this was probably the best $25 I have ever spent, and I believe that if I do what you told me I will improve my score. What you told us at the end was the most important thing we could learn. Show me your friends, and I will show you your future

I didn't know there were people like you who could make learning fun. It sounds retarded and nerdy, but it's true. You are awesome!
Sara
from Bixby High School
I'm sure you have heard this a lot, but before I came here I expected a boring workshop and I wanted to get it over with. But what I got was completely the opposite. I learned a ton of information and I had a fun time. It was definitely worth my money.
Derek
from Bixby High School
To tell you the truth, I wasn't looking forward to coming because the one I went to before was terrible. All you do is take practice tests. I really feel like I learned a lot from this workshop. Also, I really enjoyed being here. I didn't get bored!

I have bought many ACT books and this workshop told me more than the books did!

Aaron
from Midwest City High School
I liked your up-beat attitude displayed while teaching. I could tell you enjoyed what you were doing and (that) resulted in my liking it as well. I wasn't sure how to deal with a 3 and 1/2 hour workshop, but your intensity and knowledge helped me stay foc
Christi

I liked the stories, tips and humor. I thought that you were going to be an old dude, dictator type. Boy, was I wrong!?

I didn't think I wanted to come. I thought that I would probably be trying to fall asleep. But you really kept my attention. It was GREAT!
Telitha
from Gore High School
I would love to hear you talk more. You really kept a group of rowdy teens under control. If any one could do that (with this group of kids) I think, as you've proven, you can do anything. Thanks for coming.
Janessa
from Midwest City High School
It was great. I like your approach. You really seem to enjoy helping us. You were sincere. Keep it up. You're doing a wonderful job.

I really enjoyed the workshop. It really assures me that I can beat the test. Coming from a low budget, single-parent family, I really think this will help me to pay for college.

I learned methods for taking the ACT test that I would otherwise have had to learn by taking the ACT as many times as Chad.

The workshop, I believe, was a time well spent way to learn to become a better test taker in general, not just on the ACT.

It was mildly amusing and very practical. All I can say is, "Bring on the ACT!"
Tara
from Wyandotte High School
It was GREAT! I will probably score higher just because of the confidence I gained.
Matt
from Tuttle High School
Being able to e-mail you makes us feel really involved. We feel like we have a friend that can give good advise because you've taken it so many times; instead of an old boring man who just knows the material.

I liked how you talked plain and didn't just stand behind the podium.
Shannon
