Geir Rødde--Udemy Student

"This is an great course, especially for a novice writer like myself. I learned so much about structure, word usage, organization, etc. The course is taught by an excellent teacher. I can't thank you enough!"

Sandra Eastman--Udemy Student

"Awesome! Outstanding! I truly appreciated this course. Thank you for providing a free course. Because I took this free course and loved it so much, I am willing to pay for your other courses. I am sure they will be worth the money seeing that this one was so great. Please do a course on all the verb tenses. Verb tenses are something I struggled with for a long time. No one seems to have a course that fills in the gaps for me."

Chantay Shelley--Udemy Student

"Rachel: Many thanks for creating wonderful courses! I am amateur learner. I took your two courses. I found your courses useful in two ways. First, your courses provided insights "why" I had been writing in a particular way. Second, I got some teaching tips. I am teacher by profession. Impressed with your teaching passion. Keep creating good courses."

Dr. Ajit Kumar--Udemy Student

-What makes this course unique?

1. This course shows the root causes of each mistake. If you want to solve a problem and to avoid it in the future, you need to know how the mistake was made to start with. Examples in the course don't just tell you why the mistake was made, they show you with examples. 

2. This course is unique because it shows you tips and tricks to help you avoid the mistake in the future based on the root cause of the mistake. 

3. Unlike many similar classes, this course includes exercises to help you practice, apply, correct, and retain what you've learned, using the power of repetition and consistency, which learning science shows will help you retain the material. 

4. Retention of the material is key. This solves the problem the causes certain words and phrases to become confused. You can also come back to the material later for future reference.
