Money well spent

Worth every cent. Dropped €250 course up front for the intro module and honestly it taught me more than my first semester of community college did.

Instructor named Marcus taught the stats module and made regression analysis feel like a party trick, I actually get it now.

180 point SAT jump

The tutor stayed 15 minutes past our Thursday lab to walk through a proof I kept botching and didn't charge extra. I liked that the certificate at the end actually got recognized when I applied for the junior dev role last month. Worth every cent.

10/10. Refund policy is clean, no fine print traps, I know because I tested it on a course I ended up not needing. best $120 I've spent on my daughter's reading this whole year, no contest

Would never again

feels like a cash grab honestly, $12/book for recycled pdfs i could've gotten off reddit for free. Material is 80% filler, there's maybe 3 hours of real content stretched across a 12 week program.

Hooked after week one

signed up expecting it to be slop content but the lectures are tight and the instructor actually responds in the forum within a day they shipped a new cohort format in September and the pacing is way better than the self paced version was my son went from a C in algebra to an A- in one semester and I'm not exaggerating that for a review

Half good, half filler

Instructor was engaging, assignments were busywork, final project was gold. weird mix. I learned stuff, I did, but I also learned that the TA ghosts after 6pm no matter what they promise.

Not worth $400

Course content hasn't been updated since 2019 and half the links in module 4 are dead. signed my daughter up for the summer program and they switched the location twice without telling anyone.

Zero support

Would never recommend, my teenager lost all motivation after being told his essay was "below standard" with no notes. They billed my card a second $249 three weeks after I cancelled, had to dispute with my bank.

Pure fluff course

I asked for a refund within the 14 day window and they ignored four emails until the window closed. promised a job placement guarantee and when i asked after graduation they said "guarantee" meant "best effort".

The live classes are actually good when they happen, which is maybe 60% of the time. my kid liked the tutor fine but half the sessions got rescheduled with like 2 hours notice ugh
