‘I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends.’
Abraham Lincoln

A lot of 'small print'

This very long, very rigorous and very boring legal statement mostly seeks to point out that the resources and opinions offered on our websites cannot include any guarantee of effectiveness. Our sincere hope is that your children will benefit from this material and we put in a lot of effort to include the latest ideas and methodologies. But, a lot depends on you, your child and your child's circumstances.

So, read on if you'd like all the gruesome details and please don't try to sue us if your child does not make it into Harvard ;-)

Thank you, David
