Quotes

  • "I was skeptical going in to have no teachers and no structured classes and to kind of just be out there on my own. It was all very new to me and kind of scary, but after the first few weeks, I came to really, really like it." - Conner Pesek

  • "I found that it's not that I'm necessarily ahead. I can just pick certain things up faster than others. So being able to go at my own pace, especially with math, helped me stay interested because I wasn't limited to the pace of a big class." - Conner Pesek

  • "I don't like rote memorization. I'm more of a pattern recognition person, but learning with the apps, it helped because I was able to sort of engage with my own questions more and I didn't feel like I was holding up a class if I was falling behind." - Conner Pesek

  • “I can be in between sets, cranking out some math and still have all the time I need to practice.” - Conner Pesek
