“What have you done to my son?? He has been so upbeat and confident, more contented, telling me he has higher expectations now! He doesn’t know why, but cares about his grades and is currently pulling FOUR A’s, One B and one C. A tremendous improvement from the beginning of the year.”

—Darlene Sinunu
