“Beginner to Brilliant is an excellent course for those looking to expand their basic knowledge of photography. It taught the basics of using a DSLR well, while providing fun assignments that help you to discover your niche.

“Science has never been one of my favorite subjects, but the teacher does a really good job at showing just how interesting Biology can be. She always makes the topic at hand easy to understand, even in more difficult sections of the course. As far as the homework goes, it’s pretty straightforward, and at no point through the semester did I ever feel overwhelmed by the workload. Overall, I had a great time with TPS Biology, and I’d definitely recommend taking it!”

English Writing and Literature
“This course is made wonderful by the complex and thought-provoking texts explored as well as the wonderful teaching methods. Rather than viewing literature as a black and white monolith with only one correct interpretation, the teacher invites her students to think critically and extract their own interpretations and opinions from the text, which encourages students to develop their own meaningful literary analysis rather than parroting back what they are told the text is about. Students who are used to getting perfect scores on English papers may be frustrated with the scrupulous grading at first, but those who learn to listen to and value her feedback will see boundless improvement in both their writing and critical thinking skills. She is a kind and encouraging teacher who seeks to instill a love for both the moral lessons and art of literature in every one of her students.”

TPS
“In my first year at TPS I took courses that were all known for being challenging. I was nervous that I wouldn’t be able to adjust, but this anxiety disappeared after my first live lesson in each subject because all my teachers were extremely helpful and patient with me. After discussing with other TPS students in my city, we agreed that grace, ease, and a sense that TPS teachers really want to help us seemed to be common themes. This is part of what I think makes TPS special. In other online schools I have not experienced the same level of comfort or care from my teachers.”

“The class consists of a broad study of topics yet was also able to delve into many of them quite thoroughly. Class time had plenty of student participation, fascinating discussions, and real life examples of many of the topics. I feel the class gave me a strong fundamental foundation for improving my own and helping others with their health, wellness, and psychology. It has also helped me feel more prepared and capable to assist in emergency situations involving CPR and choking.”

The teacher always encouraged and pushed the class to think deeper about the subject, and the instructive feedback from classmates in breakout rooms helped reveal areas in my writing that I needed to improve.
