I loved this course! Very concise and easy to understand! I am glad I've brushed up on my grammar again! Thank you!

Ms. Hampton does her best to keep it light with little chuckles here and there. The course moves slow enough to take notes, but the flow is not broken or monotonous. I would absolutely recommend this course to beginning English speakers, as well as those who haven't been in a basic Language Arts class in a while. The site reads that the course is an hour long, but with the quizzes, extra materials, and since I paused to take notes, it took me two hours. Well worth the time.

I am enjoying this course so far. I am starting at the beginning of my education journey after being out of school many years and this course is not too slow and not skipping too fast ahead. I am really feeling positive!

Yes. I was looking for a way to go over and recapture the specifics of what I learned when I was younger. I'm glad to have found that in your course. The price was reasonable and the lessons are valuable: essential characteristics for someone looking to go into freelance and creative writing.

This course has been great! The material was well organized. I am so glad I can go back to it again and again. I want to learn more so I can be a proofreader at home.

I appreciate how she breaks it down--and a little humor. I'm also a visual person, so would appreciate arrows to link antecedents, etc.

An excellent course! Clear, well organized and very well explained. I like that the teacher speaks clearly and not too fast (or too slow). Highly recommend it to anyone!

Elizabeth was very clear and concise but i felt she was just reading the power point presentation, which i could do just by reading it to understand.

I found a few grammar errors but I did learn a few things. The voice used in the videos was a bit slow and monotone. I found myself reading most of the material and kept the videos on mute.

You must take this course! I decided to take this course because I wanted to refresh my grammar skills. To be honest with you guys, I have learned so many things and I will definitely apply them in my writing every single day.

Once again a great course from a great lecturer, this is the second course I have taken, the last one was Powerful Proofreading, would highly recommend these two course by Ashan R Hampton

This course has done what no other grade school or college level course has done for me. It has thoroughly demystified the essentials of grammar in an easy to understand and remember way. Unlike other courses, this course has taught me what excellent writing actually is and how to go about accomplishing it. It includes how to write effective sentences and sentence fragments, both necessary building blocks for effective paragraphs. The one thing that stands out about this course is it identifies common errors and exceptions to grammatical usage. I would recommend this course for anyone either seeking to understand English grammar better or as a refresher course for those already familiar with the basics.

Its a great review of grammar and been a big help filling in my weak spots. Lessons are a good length - not too long so I feel like I can do some when I have 30 minutes. Its covered areas where I'm weak and my strengths but all of it has been very helpful.
