Speed Reading for Business. Improve focus and comprehension. (Udemy.com)

I have finished this course. The metronome beat training gives you something to follow, to the point that you are not aware of the timer running down (Find a metronome that is easy to change from one beat to another and a timer also, because when Alex is talking while you are doing the reading exercises it is very distracting for beginners). At some point in the training your eyes begin to get stronger so that you can follow faster beats. I would also recommend training your peripheral vision while balancing on one leg. I know it sounds strange, but not only will your balance improve your ability to see larger word groupings too. I would also take advantage of watching the lectures at faster speeds, this practice has made my brain feel alive and clear. The course is similar to so many that promote going faster than you can read and then being able to understand words at slightly slower speeds. I've never been keen on this, however, this kind of training is a method of exercising your eye muscles to become stronger and capable of faster reading speeds. I'm not at the stage of quieting my inner voice, but I think that when my vision expands more I will be able to absorb groups of words in one thought more easily and thereby reducing my inner reading voice (If you think of one word as a single signpost, the next stage is thinking of several words as a single signpost) - Signposts are what we use to understand a lot in a single visual glance, like the ones we use when driving. They are a way to understand with a quieter inner reading voice. I would recommend this course. My interpretation of the things that I have mentioned and the utilization of reading speed gears has been an eye opener for me. You will learn things that can help in this course, the trick is to reflect on them and used them in ways that benefit you. Thanks for the course Alex.

Begin of the presentation was long and really don't understand the point of the lecture by calculating the number of word by sentence to get speed reading. Each sentence has differents numbers of words.

very good tips,simple way to start reed faster,the metronome the pointer how we keep the book to reed no sleep,many useful thinks.one plus i was to have on the course is the subtitle in english for people with poor inglish like me so we can stop the video and translate the word we dond know. this is a problem for many course on udemy. thank you

iam trying to understand the concept but not yet.

It works. You end up reading much faster if you commit and practice. Very useful. The content is just right. Very straightforward and easy to understand. After the last video lecture you are given some addresses and resources to keep practicing and improving your reading skills. Highly recommended

They should teach this in schools and colleges. MUST MUST MUST MUST SELF-IMPROVEMENT COURSE FOR HUMANS. UPDATE: After 6 months my new reading speed is 286 words per minute, comprehension - good. This course is the best investment I'd made on Udemy.

I have not only increased my reading speed, I am now able to focus and not get sidetracked by my thoughts. The tips and ideas for increasing comprehension and memory are especially helpful. I now feel more motivated to read. The presentation was great - it felt like Alex was teaching me personally. Thanks for this very useful course.

I have immensely benefited from this course and it has been a life changer for me. I owe this entirely to Alex. Waiting for few more such courses from Alex. I would ask everyone to please consult the website www.thespeedreadingcoach.com. It is a gold mine and can positively motivate anyone. ........ Cheers

You will learn a lot of things to improve your reading and your comprehension. Alex share with sincerity and humor his skills and his resources. At the end of the course I feel I have had a momment with a friend. Also I'm French and I understand very well the explanations.

I've been consuming speed Reading material and courses, and this one has some new elements that i didn't see in other sources. That's good. In terms of the format, I wasn't utterly impressed with the video quality and settings. also for the reading tests on speed and comprehension there are far more accurate and practical menas (such as http://www.freereadingtest.com/free-reading-test.html?) Overall, I think Alex could do a make over of this course, doing so would make it a lot better! Any way, thanks for sharing and making this content available!
