"I found this course very helpful. I was born and raised in a non-English speaking country and never received any English lessons, ever. My biggest problem with the written English is sentence structure and punctuation. My instructor is wonderful, quick to respond to my e-mails with encouraging remarks." -- Hanna D.
"All the information was helpful, including the layouts and explanations. My instructor was fabulous. This is not an area of expertise for me. She understood and atta-girled me at every area that I tried." -- Doree A.
"I was surprised by the amount of information covered, but it was all relevant to me. It has been over 20 years since high school English class, so it was needed." -- Stacie D.
