Long-Term Follow-Up

Alumni surveys tracking outcomes years later


“My grades went from C’s to almost all A’s. I used to spend hours studying with poor results, but now I study efficiently and actually have free time.” — Student, Age 15

“The problem-solving framework I learned helped me win our school’s science fair—and it’s already helping me succeed in my internship.” — Sofia, Age 17

“My daughter came home from the 4-week program a different person—more confident, more articulate, and with a clear sense of what she wants to study.” — Parent

“The self-directed learning skills I developed have been crucial in college. I know how to tackle any new subject and find the right resources independently.” — Alumni


Our outcomes persist long after programs end:

TimeframeLasting Effects
6 MonthsMaintained academic improvements, continued use of strategies
1 YearExpanded application to new subjects and contexts
3+ YearsFoundational skills influence career and life decisions

Set the Stage

  • Discuss goals together
  • Identify current challenges
  • Establish baseline expectations
  • Prepare for temporary struggle

Every student has untapped capability. Our programs don’t create new abilities—they unlock what’s already there.

“We don’t produce better test-takers. We produce better thinkers, communicators, and humans.”
