In 3 months of time with SimplySteno, I’ve made a speed jump of 70 words per minute. I wouldn't have been able to do this without the incredible structure, optional live classes, and varied dictation content that Marc offers. I found more support, encouragement, and camaraderie among fellow steno students and instructors than I ever had during my time at a typical college. I haven't had any extenuating circumstances interrupt my steno education yet (knock on wood!), but I know for a fact that if I did, Marc would never admonish me or make me feel bad if I needed to take a little time off to focus on personal affairs. Considering the personal support, structure, reasonable cost, user-friendly site, and dictation content with a wide range of difficulty, there isn't a better place I could've chosen to take my steno journey to the next level.

I did the RPR prep program (part of SimplySteno) from you to help me with my certifications. One of the first assignments, if I'm remembering correctly, was to make a vision board. I indeed made a vision board and put every NCRA certification on there. While the board itself is long gone, I've pictured it in my mind over the years. Well, today I achieved the final certification on my vision board. I am now a CSR, RPR, RMR, RDR, CRR, and CRC. I truly believe that doing that vision board helped give me focus to achieve those certifications. Thank you for all you do for the steno community, and thank you for helping me towards my certifications. I am forever grateful.

I turned to SimplySteno because I wanted a structured speedbuilding program that also offered live classes. I got that and more. The daily lessons are challenging and varied, and the live classes are fun and encouraging. There are little aspects to the program, like the flash cards and student blog, that really go a long way. I built my speed, and I also built my confidence. When I found myself struggling with certain stresses, there was always a spot-on message from Marc about how to cope. The program emphasizes taking care of one's overall health as a critical aspect of writing, which has really changed my habits over the past two years. I'm really happy with this program.

I passed my Illinois CSR! I 100% couldn’t have done this without this program. GREAT program! You can’t beat the price. Marc is very involved with his students and in helping them succeed. Daily lessons that are very structured and explain how to practice. The material is dense, which I feel helped me pass my certification exams!

I appreciate you dearly, I can’t say it enough. Leaving my old program and joining Simply Steno was the best decision I’ve made. The schedule, keeping me on track, thorough test notes for me to learn from, it’s gotten me to where I am today. My old program was so unorganized and I never knew how to study properly and stayed at the same speed range for over a year and didn’t know how to progress. You changed my life! Thank you!

I wanted to share with you that I am now officially Mia O'Sullivan, RPR!! I definitely owe a huge thanks to you and the SimplySteno program!! Thank you for teaching me the importance of reading my notes and typing up tests, dropping, breathing, just all of it! I will continue to utilize the practice techniques I have learned here. 🙂

Your classes and methods work. Thank you for your expertise and friendly, professional, nonjudgmental help. I really appreciate this, because you DO live it and you ARE responsive to your students (customers). Your longevity as a successful internet school is testament that your business practices work!

I LOVE your program and the help and support that you give. I was able to regain the speed and confidence I lost with other programs, and I was able to pass my WKT due to Simply Steno and be prepared to get those other tests out of the way. I want to thank you for everything you have done and all the hard work that you put into making this program. It is sincerely appreciated, and it's nice to know there is someone out there who is willing to put in the time and effort to help students push through to make it in this environment.

I just wanted to let you know I'm working and doing well. I've been to court several time and taken depos since the beginning of December. All is going well. Thank you for your help. I only wished I had signed up with you earlier and saved myself some time.

I credit Simply Steno with helping get me through faster and pointing out what I needed to fix in my writing. I've been working as a reporter for two weeks and have really enjoyed the experience. Life has been a whirlwind, but I'm happy to be getting my feet wet. I would most certainly recommend Simply Steno over brick and mortar court reporting schools to prospective and current students I meet. Thank you so much for all your help and guidance!
