"We have had extremely good results with all the pupils who have remained on the course and reached Level 8 and and beyond. This covers the majority and a complete age range from Year 4 (8 years to adult). Exam results following the course have been far higher than originally forecast for the individual."

"The TTRS course really helped me. It’s been a lot easier in class, and it makes me a lot more confident in terms of spelling. I don’t have to ask people how to do things any more."

"The scheme uses a variety of strategies to break the cycle of failure. By the end of the course, students have improved their spelling, reading, short-term Memory, co-ordination and concentration....They see that they are mastering the computer but what really encourages them is the improvement in their spelling."

Sally Mckeown

"This (TTRS Online) course is extraordinary, modern and fascinating…Despite living and working as a medical doctor in English speaking countries, for 7 years I could not make the distinction between vowels and consonants. TTRS was magic to teach me that. Also I have improved my spelling, pronunciation, and have stopped typing with 2 fingers..Furthermore as I person I feel more confident, and ready to learn more!"
