Student Reviews
This class has shown me how negative I tended to write and how to correct the problem. I feel this help will be invaluable in my future endeavors. The one on one experience with the instructor was even better than I had hoped. You will not get this type of interaction with any other course on the Web period! Thank you again for leading a GREAT class! -- David

The extra Grammar information was invaluable. The course material is relevant and easy to understand... Enjoyed the course. Kitty was very helpful and patient --Pat

Keep up the good work! It is a great step towards better business writing. -- Kelley

Instructor is great. Kitty is very helpful and did an excellent job. I took a 6-week MBA business writing course and paid $1,320 at [deleted] College in MA. I learned 100% more in Kitty's course than at the MBA course. Of course, I will recommend. -- Vikrant
