Student/Parent Reviews
“This was a wonderful class. The executive functions were broken down into bite-sized pieces to make it much more palatable for my student. She learned a lot and it heading into the new school year better prepared.” - Gabi, 15 year old learner
“My 15 year old son completed this incredible course. The content seemed to help him gain insight into strategies that will help him be more organized and prepared. The information was provided in an engaging, welcoming format and was interactive. I think the real gem with this class is the instructor! The warmth, care and follow up is so personalized, I am incredibly impressed! If you have a child that could benefit from some organizational/planning skills I highly recommend giving this a try!” -Shali, 16 year old learner
“This class is awesome! My learner loved it and I had no issues getting them to do it which is huge” -Amanda, 13 year old learner
“My 14 yo daughter took this class and the set up really worked for us. Nadia is very accommodating and the material was well suited for our needs as my daughter will be starting high school this fall and really needs this kind of support to stay organized and focused on her priorities. Nadia provided a lot of thoughtful resources as needed. Thanks Nadia!” -Sandra, 14 year old learner
“Both of my kids took this class and they each talked to me about different things they learned. They didn't love it, but they didn't complain about it either (which is great for a class that was taking away from their summer loafing time). When I did ask a question, she was quick to respond. Overall a good class.resources that my daughter can reference as needed. Thanks, Nadia!” -Danna, 14 and 16 year old learners
“A self-paced class; perfect length. Provides good organizational/study skills, particularly well suited to high school students. Lots of resources provided for students to take with them beyond the class.” -Mary, 13 year old learner
“What a great course! My 12 year old daughter learned a lot. We will take this again when she is 16, before college. We are already looking for another class from BEF Education for the fall.” -Trudy, 13 year old learner
"My daughter liked the class and the teacher, Nadia, was great at answering questions and helping with any issues.” -Stephanie, 16 year old learner
“This was a great class because I could do it on my own any time of day, gave me specific areas to look at when I am cleaning my room, and provided me good feedback.” -Kevin, 17 year old learner
“Thought this class is on a flex schedule, Nadia was very still very communicative and attentive toward our needs, especially since we are new to outschool, and on line teaching programs overall. The flex schedule helped my son who is a slower learner, and usually needs additional time to complete assignments.” Aurora, 15 year old learner
“This class has really helped me become more organized. I liked the way the information was presented to me in a fun easy to understand way. It is fun and easily explains thing to me in a clear easy to understand kind of way. I like that there was the perfect amount of material to learn-not too much not to little.” -Adam, 16 year old learner
