STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

"I wanted to thank you for your class instruction on my water class A. It helped me to prevail to a 77 on my test on 9/6/17. I wasn't sure if I would be able to do it, due to my father passing expectantly on Aug 19th. Our class finished on the 18th and it was unexpected. I did not cancel my testing date because my father would have not wanted that. Your teaching helped me to a 14 point turn around on my second test.   I write this to you today to thank you and your staff for the excellent experience I had and I've done nothing but spoke highly of your course since."

"Your course taught me to look at the questions with a logical eye. I’m super thankful for the good the class has taught me. I look forward to the next occasion where I get to visit and learn.  Thank you (and Charlie) for being such clear, thorough, and demystifying instructors. I aspire to emulate your example."

"Thanks again for all of your help.  TREEO is a terrific resource.  Ron is the best instructor ever!" 

"Thanks for all your help and good info, couldn't have done it without you, probably would have had to take the test 2-3 times."
