"Our test scores have risen significantly over the past two years while using LearningExpress Folio. I credit the diagnostic data available through the Folio program as having allowed us to pinpoint problem areas and to adjust our instruction accordingly. Not only was the diagnostic data valuable, but also the availability of students' essays online allowed us to maximize our teacher-student writing conferences, focusing on each individual student's writing strengths and weaknesses."
—Norma Craig
Writing Coach, Miami Jackson Senior High
"The LearningExpress Writing Folio's use of realistic testing materials, such as the rubrics, has greatly improved my students' test readiness by giving them the confidence to achieve higher on state-mandated tests."
—Tami Howard

"We conducted a valid experimental pilot of LearningExpress' Writing Assessment Program. Our finding was that students benefited from the program and it aligned well with the curriculum as an ideal preparation strategy for our state High School Proficiency Assessment. As a result, we have expanded the program to be used for our entire junior class in the forthcoming school year."
—Gary R. Bowen, Ed.D.,
Superintendent, Jefferson Township Public Schools, New Jersey

Your ability to quickly and accurately score nearly 1,000 writing assessments submitted by our students in the last week of school was a tremendous time and cost savings for Virtual Enterprise."
—Iris Blanc, Director,
Virtual Enterprises, International, New York, New York
"Your program is one of the best investments our library has made in educational tools. After using it to practice for the ACT, one student received a full scholarship to Jacksonville State University. Serving an area that faces demanding economic challenges, your program allows our library to provide more comprehensive services to our patrons."
—Teresa Kiser, Library Technology Coordinator,
Public Library of Anniston-Calhoun County, Anniston, AL
"This is a WONDERFUL site and tremendous resource for our Adult Education students. In my career as a teacher of high school students, I have never been as impressed with an educational tool as I am with this material."

—Jeff Richard, Career Center,

"We are impressed with your program's ability to help our ESL students get more familiar with the Internet. We had some initial concerns about piloting this new technology, especially with high school-level ESL students whose previous Internet experience can be limited at times. Your team did a great job of addressing our concerns by setting realistic expectations, being available 'on-site' during class to assist with the process, responding to issues that arose, and incorporating some of our suggested changes into the program."
—Joseph M. Cregan, ESL English Teacher,
Manhattan Comprehensive Night and Day High School, New York City
"My [high school] In-Step Program students thought your online SAT preparation and writing assessment practice exercises were great. We really need access to resources like these so the kids can prepare better for their test, and your materials are the best we've seen so far… It's not every day that programs come along that teens respond to, so I really want to stress how important this one has been for my teenagers."
—Gus Cruz, Program Director,
The Police Athletic League of New York City
"As a teacher, I find the instant score report broken down by testing category extremely useful. It helps in my efforts to sit down with the students and explain how they need to refocus their efforts in areas where they show weaknesses. We think this is going to be a great tool for teachers and students at Wildcat Academy."
—Sharon Romano, English Teacher,
John V. Lindsay Wildcat Academy, New York City
"When I searched the field for the best materials for basic skills instruction, I found LearningExpress, whose guides are clear, sound, and easy to use. They are outstanding."

—Dr. Wayne Stewart,

"The results of the ASVAB Pilot were terrific. Your online practice test and skill building books far outperform other preparation and remediation programs we've tried, and they are also a lot more cost-effective. Candidates who failed their first official ASVAB took your practice exams and used the basic skills refresher books you left behind. When they retook the official exam, they all passed with an increase in score of up to 13 points! That's a huge improvement and opens up some doors for these kids to get better assignments."
—Chief Recruiter Stewart,
Navy Recruiting District, New York
"We think it is a TREMENDOUS resource. I am really impressed. I have dealt with many software 'solutions' and several web-based 'learning' tools and LearningExpress Online is far and away the best. This letter started out as information, and became a pitch—but the truth is, the students are benefiting from it, and that is the best evidence for its success."
—Alan Baer, ELA Staff Developer,
The Riverdale/Kingsbridge Academy, Bronx, New York
"The SAT/ACT tutorial program works!"
—Jerry Strauss,
Lakewood High School, Lakewood, Colorado
