WE DEVELOP COURSES DIFFERENTLY
1
RESEARCH WHAT REALLY WORKS
Most people teach based on their expertise. They tell you “this is what worked for me so it will work for you too.” Often, it doesn’t work.
We start with our expertise and then test with students again and again until we find something that generates repeatable results. This is why it can take us 6 months or more to develop a course.
2
REPEATABLE FRAMEWORK
Once we find a strategy that works, we turn that into a clear, step-by-step framework. That means when you take one of our courses, you’re not learning random tactics. You’re not memorizing solutions to random coding interview questions.
Rather, you’re learning an overarching framework that you can use again and again, no matter what the situation.
3
REMOVE THE FLUFF
With a clear framework in place, we focus on giving you the exact info you need and cutting everything you don’t. When you take one of our courses, you won’t find 100 hours of rambling videos. No, you’ll get carefully curated content giving you exactly what you need and nothing more.
4
STEP-BY-STEP LESSON PLAN
Finally, we create a step-by-step lesson plan for each of our courses. This ensures that you know precisely what to do every step of the way through the learning process and ultimately achieve the results you want.
