“The
Speed Reading workshops have been a huge hit at Ohio State! Students
have come to the workshops a little skeptical, but they all leave
raving about what they learned and how they can use it. We
have presented this workshop to all students from 1st years to graduate
and professional, and they have all benefited.”
-Kay
Robinson, Assistant Director, Ohio Union, Ohio State University
“Thank
you very much for all your help this year. You truly had a significant
impact on my productivity as well as many others in Ariel’s
research department. You should feel very proud of your
contributions to Ariel. Thank you again.”
-Jason
Tyler, Portfolio Manager, Ariel Capital Management
“The
Iris Organization facilitated a speed reading workshop for the Chicago
Summer Business Institute’s 150 high school
interns. The experience and outcome was phenomenal!
The average student in the class began reading 239 words per minute and
ended reading
457 words per minute – results were nearly doubled. We will
continue to support the Iris Organization in assisting our students and
colleagues in their efforts to enhance their reading skills.”

“Many of the
students who attended said this was one of the most beneficial
'classes' available to students and they wish they had attended one
freshman year. I strongly urge any university to partner with Iris in
bringing these workshops to more students!”
-Pooja
Lahoti, Undergraduate Student Government, Ohio State University
“I would be more than happy to recommend your program to
others. The students all agree that it was useful and helpful. Your
efforts to enhance our students’ progress are greatly
appreciated!”
