Learn by Doing
People retain knowledge and skills if they have immediate and repeated opportunities to practice what is learned.

Informal Atmosphere
Learning increases in an atmosphere that is the least
reminiscent of any formal schooling

Variety of Methods
Research has demonstrated that learning proceeds most quickly when information reaches the learner through more than one sensory channel. We use methods directed at the visual, auditory and kinesthetic channels.

Guidance Not Grades
We use no devices for comparative evaluation of your progress. We offer honest individualized feedback with explicit performance standards. We help you set achievable learning goals and suggest ways to meet them.

No Tricks, Traps or Red Herrings
Such artifice hinders and sometimes prevents learning.

Learning by Layering
We believe in layering information – basic information first, followed by exercises and experiences to use and practice applying the information. We aim to set cognitive hooks in the mind so that you can identify issues, recognize critical information in life-like situations. We do not believe in memorize and regurgitate.

Learning How to Learn
Information and knowledge are increasing exponentially. A key skill is learning how to improve your ability to learn. First steps are becoming aware of the value in setting learning goals and identifying your preferred sensory channels for taking in information.
