"(Mr. Powell) was absolutely terrific with the kids - he truly has a fabulous way of encouraging and motivating the students to enjoy participating in the live lectures, and thereby making it fun for them to learn. With Mr. Powell's course, History became my daughter's favorite subject. We intend to continue with all of Mr. Powell's history courses that are geared for students."--Bobby S., California

"Scott Powell is not only the history teacher you wish your children had; he's the teacher you wish you had had so long ago. My son and I were doubly fortunate, because he studied under Scott during the day, while I did so at night (History for Adults). Scott has a firm command of his subject, excellent communications skills, and an infectious enthusiasm for history."--Mark W., California
"(My) boys are enjoying the...class tremendously. Every day I hear about the 'question they were asked' or the answer they knew. History became their undisputed favorite subject..."--Garr V., Minnesota
"I will never forget the way you made history funny!"--Jonathan K., age 7, California
"It's because of you that my dad knows history!"--Ashtyn W., 8, California
"Next year I hope you will still teach the same classes again."--Melissa M., 11, California

"I think Mr. Powell is a great teacher because he made learning history fun. He also taught me all the history I know today."--Mitchell W. 11, California
"After being home-schooled for seven years, Mr. Powell's history course was a wonderful way for me to get a taste of the classroom setting. I enjoyed how he kept us constantly engaged and involved during his lectures, which made it easier to remember the material and stay focused. This program is packed with information, but is presented in such a way that it is not too much to handle. I'm looking forward to continuing with his courses throughout my education."--Lucy S., 13, California
