Customer Reviews
Great, Practical Advice
I use the system taught at IEW in my tutoring. It’s my favorite writing program. Listening to the podcasts, I often glean helpful advice in relating to my students. The talks even inspire me in my own everyday life.
Fantastic Educational Influence
The first time I heard Andrew speak was over 10 years ago at a homeschool convention in Regina, SK Canada. His insights and honesty were a precious gift to me, to my husband, who finally found a man to speak clearly what he’d been envisioning in his head, and best of all, our boys, who experienced a literature rich education from then on, with lots of music, art, and open discussion.
This podcast is always valuable to me. It has practical advice, honest ideas with discussion about how times to use caution, and it works! Thank you for serving the educational community so well. You’re my favourite influencer. Keep up the ground breaking work!!
Motivating and inspiring
What a great information for writing by Andrew Pudewa, but all the tips on motivation and how to teach is useful for teaching any subject school or outside of it.
Thank you Mr. Pudewa for sharing your insights.
