Better Writer

CSR, RPR

  I just wanted to let you know that your program has already made me a better writer in just a few months, and I'm not even halfway through the program yet.  I am so glad I have started working with you.  

Breakthrough

Student

Your course has helped me break through a lot of barriers within my writing. I’ve learned how to analyze my writing and make changes. Laura, anything you do for us students, I try to be front and center. Thank you!!

Closer to the Goal!

Student

Laura Axelsen has been of superlative assistance to me at a time when traveling back and forth to school after work became almost impossible. She has not only provided a mentor for me with whom I keep in contact from time to time, she herself has provided numerous holistic coaching sessions where she analyzes the problems I am facing at the moment. She also initiated my physical education for writing by advising me to study a particular posture method popular with top reporters who write for hours and hours without pain. And through her group, I was able to receive several excellent hypnotherapy sessions free of charge. These sessions continually point me to some of the deeper issues affecting my approach to the writer. And last, but never least, her very affordable Magnum Steno course guided me to reconstruct my theory at a formative moment in my development, saving me years of toil, headaches with tests unpassed, and many events of body aches and pains from the effort of writing everything out for each and every word. At this point after less than a year, I feel more confident with writing and dictionary building, not only because I know how to write more accurately, I understand much better how steno works in the real world, bringing me several steps closer to the skill to produce transcripts from skills tests that will get me closer and closer to my RPR.
