My kid attended the class of Public Speaking and Debate. Before registering, I asked them whether they could send the syllabus of the course. They sent a syllabus from previous school year and claimed it would be the same. different. This is the public speaking and debate class without SPEAKING and DEBATE. Could we say reading your essays without standing up a "public speaking" and go through definition of different types of debate a "debate lesson"? . After I asked her whether she could add more live debate to the class, she mumbled at the class while she was reading the definitions of debate types: "This is debate. This is the debate. What did the lady think about?"A total waste of your hard-earned money. What's more, our kids' precious time. After a few lessons, my kid refused to go any more and told me that was a total waste of time. Totally regretted that I didn't listen to my friend's awful experience at this center.----------suggestion:If you sign up for any course, ask the teacher's qualifications, course plan (prepared by the teacher who came to the class), how many people signed up (like a debate, if only three or four people are enrolled, it doesn't make any practical sense), ask about the withdrawal terms, etc. It is even more important to ask the opinions of friends who have come to visit you. Children have limited time, and taking poor-quality classes is not only a waste of money, but the most important thing is a waste of children's precious time.

I enjoyed Dr.Furnell's class. it has helped me improve my grade since last year. DOME, SAVE, and CAP was helpful when it comes to answering the questions. seeing myself improve every time we took the test was nice. I'm still confused on somethings but if I keep practicing, I know I could improve even more.

I really enjoyed this summer's PSAT class. I can't believe how fast my scores improved through this class. The class was extremely beneficial in terms of providing useful strategies for the writing and reading sections. Previously, I was unable to complete the exam within the time limit, but by employing the various reading strategies, I was able to minimize the amount of time I spent on the test. I also found SAVE and DOME to be really useful in eliminating wrong answer choices and choosing correct answers. Furthermore, the class structure of going over homework and applying all the different strategies we learned to the questions we completed was extremely helpful. Another helpful component was that the strategies we learned were easy to interpret and can not be found online. In the past, I've looked at strategies online and found them to be complicated to understand and often confusing, compared to what we learned in class. In addition, the pictures Josh drew in class were very helpful in remembering information. Finally, I would like to say that Josh is an amazing teacher who's extremely entertaining, passionate, and helpful.

Dr. Furnell has helped me boost my SAT score by 100 points with his great strategies such as DOE and SAVE. He has taught me to think in a different way for SAT tests which, in my opinion, sets his SAT class beyond other SAT classes.

Dr. Furnell is a great teacher that has boosted my SAT score tremendously. He helped me with my grammar: understanding the colons, semicolons, and commas utilized by the SAT. His drawings help students understand complex concepts and simplifies said concepts to be digestible to the avid learner.

Dr. Furnell has taught me so many useful strategies such as SAVE and DOE which has helped me to improve. I like how he is so enthusiastic while reading the passage. He also taught us the order of completing a psat test. His class actually made me literally love Ela so much. He is such an amazing teacher and you should definitely sign your kid up for this class. This class is life changing and I will be forever thankful for the tips and tricks that he taught us. 10/10 recommend.

Dr. Furnell did a great job teaching his class and adapting to the concerns of his students. While I can't speak for all his SAT English students, I can confidently say that he significantly boosted my SAT score.

I liked the strategies Dr. Furnell taught me for the PSAT and the practice SATS we took to see how much we've improved.
