My son, Ryan, loved your online course. He said "the platform gave me tons of examples to practice so I could get better at whatever topic I'm studying for." He passed the NMAT and is now studying med at UERMMC

On-Demand Learning
Much like on-demand streaming services, our courses enable students to learn in a way that's optimized for them - at a time, pace, and place of their choosing. Unlike traditional in-person or instructor-led live classes, students can access relevant material about a specific content or topic without embarking on a multi-lesson course or sitting through a 3-hour class.
Learning by Doing
Kudos goes by the ethos “Know-Understand-Do”. Our courses are not a continuous wall of text or a stream of video clips. We constantly engage students by giving a short exercise or exam-style question right after a concept is explained. This heightens the impact – learners retain 90% of what they learn* when they use it immediately.
Hints in Exam-Style Questions
Students expect lots of practice questions so we made sure we didn’t skimp on that in our courses. However, we know that answering multiple choice questions can become a “hit and miss” activity where students will just randomly pick an answer to challenging items. Hence, during the course’s formative phase, we give exam-style questions with tailored hints that gently prompt students in the right direction. It’s like having a tutor over their shoulder to keep them on track!

3. What materials are used?
Most lessons are in PDF. However, there are video clips where they are most needed, especially in problem-solving and the explanations of high-yield practice sets.
4. Can I print the materials?
Some of the materials in a course are printable. Usually, these are chapter summaries and useful study and exam tips.
