This course was very thorough, packed with a lot more than I thought it would have in it. I definitely walked away with a lot of brush up skills, since taking English in high school. Thank you so much for your time to teach it.

By Shauna Stittleburg on 2/19/2026

This course helped me to refresh my grammar knowledge. There are some sections that I wish the instructor covered more thoroughly, such as active and passive voice. Overall, this course has a lot of good information. I appreciate all the quizzes and 'homework' that you have to do.

By Mona Jasuja on 8/29/2025

This was a great course. It helped me to understand the very basics of english writing. I enjoyed the workbook exercises and the quizzes, they were very helpful to check my progress. I can already see the necessary changes in my write-ups! Thank you.

This course worked great to make me understand the basics of writing. Now I can write without mistakes. this helped me to know how to write better English. how can we write our ideas in short and simple. This course is highly recommended for beginners

By Carlos Campos on 4/4/2025

At the end of the course you'll know all the essentials about writing in English. On the downside, it seems that the course is a collage of many different courses. For example, some sections overlap with each other, so you'll end up taking twice the same content. Also, there is not a consistent theme across the course. The audio and the visuals change in every single lesson. My suggestion is to record the entire course again. It's not a lot of work, and it would definitely improve its quality.

I recently found myself needing to write formally for work. I have been out of school for many years and figured I would need to brush up on things. To my shock, I passed the assessment test with a 90. Working through the course I was happy to find advanced topics that filled in the gaps for me. Thanks!

By Sheeba Viswanathan on 1/31/2023

I came to know a lot through this course. It has helped me to understand how and where to use commas, colons and semi-colons. Though i have to daily practice what I have learnt, but will help me to write better in the coming days.

By Anonymized User on 11/22/2020

Highly recommended and Highly informative course. Money valuable course

By Greg Palmer on 11/19/2020

I thought, the program was going to be more in-depth.Such as, the subject of Clauses:what if you weren't sure what a clause was.But I guess to get the individual to start writing better in the least amount of time ,this program delivers just that.

By Kely Andriamiadana on 11/8/2020

More examples would help.

By Nidhi Jain on 10/23/2020
