Student Testimonials
“I work full-time and am a single mother. [I] have significantly less time to study compared to some of my classmates. Your [outline strategies], while they took time to [implement], actually saved me time in the long term because I was outlining the correct way. I knew the right way to analyze the material, ask the right questions, and really get in-depth in my analysis on the exams.”
“I took all your all your workshops this semester and they really paid off for me. I raised my Contracts grade an entire letter grade … and raised my Torts grade from a C+ to a B. I know this improvement was a direct result of your workshops.”
