“This is such an enlightening course. I feel cheated in my education never to have experienced literature this way. Thank you is not a big enough sentiment—my gratitude runs much deeper!”
“Adam makes a difficult concept as easy as following a recipe. Thank you for helping me succeed as a teacher.”
“After watching your DVDs, my kids and I started with picture books. Then I decided to tackle Great Expectations. My kids loved talking about the setting, the characters, the plot, the conflict, and the theme. We are looking forward to more classics next year. All I can say is thank you!”
