Brad takes the time to carefully consider questions and provides explanations that are educational, non-judgmental, and genuinely helpful. I especially appreciated the opportunity to meet with Brad for a follow-up session 24 hours after the workshop. It gave me time to reflect on what I had learned and formulate more thoughtful questions than I would have had otherwise.

At Brad's New Teacher Workshop, not only did I get answers to these questions, but during the workshop, I also gained valuable skills and resources that have significantly boosted my confidence in teaching. Thanks to Brad, I feel my students are now well-supported to not only succeed in their exams but also to become knowledgeable and critically thinking economists.
