Success Stories
Students:
“I was a top student in high school, but college was a different ball
game. I studied all the time and only made C's. The Guaranteed 4.0
Learning System taught me to 'study smarter' with great techniques for
reading, critical thinking, even essay writing. Best of all, the 4.0
Plan helped me focus, stay on task, and reduce my study time! Now, I am
a top student again with a great social life!”
T.H. Chen, Graduate of Queens University, Canada
“Thank
you so much for today's seminar. We think that it was a wonderful talk
and Donna O. was a fantastic speaker, very energetic and motivational.
As nursing students, we believe that her learning strategies will
really come in handy. We look forward to learning all three steps and
to making fantastic grades.”
S. Lawson, S. Thompson, A. Brown
“I
purchased the Guaranteed 4.0 book and workbook earlier this year. I am
happy to say it was worth every penny. The unfortunate part is, I have
to forget about the $100 dollars. In spite of starting the program
around midterm of spring 2007, I achieved a 4.0 GPA. I would not have
even got a 2.5 at the rate I was going, until adopting your approach.
The program has also allowed me to feel brave enough to take 17 credits
this fall semester while working a full 40 hour work week. Thank you!”

Parents:
“I have had the opportunity to work with the Guaranteed 4.0 Learning
System as both a home school parent and an educator. As a parent, I saw
my middle school son go from an average to an A+ student utilizing the
Bullet Point reading principles taught by the Guaranteed 4.0 Learning
System. While teaching in both the public and private school sectors
(middle & high school), I used the Bullet Point method of
presenting material in a brain-friendly format that made the learning
process more enjoyable and effective. The Guaranteed 4.0 Learning
System, without a doubt, is a method of learning that can assist both
the traditional and the home-schooled student.”
S. Braxton, Parent and Teacher, Richmond, Virginia
“My
children watched the DVD and loved it. Ade (6th grade) and Reni (3rd
grade) both now quote, "School is my job and my objective is to get a
4.0 so I can get a scholarship." Ade also plans to share the DVD with
his best friend at school. Thank you so much.”

Administrators:
“I was delighted to attend the Guaranteed A+ PLUS program along
with more than 150 parents and students after a morning church service.
Afterwards, one parent shared with me her son's experience with
Guaranteed A+PLUS. His grades had improved greatly, and it had a huge
impact on his life. Her main reason for coming to the meeting was to
find out where and when the next program would be held – her son wanted
to take the course again! What made it even more remarkable was that
her son spoke up and amplified and personalized everything his mother
said. Needless to say the parent and student did all of the speaking
necessary for Guaranteed A+ PLUS.”

“Since
2003, Central State University and the College of Education and the
Institute of Urban Education have collaborated with Donna O. Johnson
and the Guaranteed 4.0 group on several projects. Initially our work
was geared to the students in the education program. We saw tremendous
growth in the students that practiced and stayed "on plan." Based on
this success we expanded our work to include test taking skills and
most recently we work with middle school and high school students in
the S.T.E.M. areas. The use of a systematic way of learning how to
learn is now a mandatory component of all of our programs for students
desiring to be successful in school, regardless of the grade.
Personally, I can think of no other group that becomes so personally
involved in develop and implementation of programs that help students
to achieve positive academic goals. We are committed to the use of
these products.”

Community Groups:
“New Birth Church has used the services of Guaranteed 4.0. Not only
did we find the program to be effective, but we also found YC Chen and
Donna O. Johnson to be very personable, flexible, and willing to do
whatever it takes to see the students succeed! Of those students who
followed the program as described, they did in fact earn a 4.0. We
plan on using them again.”

“Donna
O. Johnson and her wonderful professional team gave a workshop on how
to teach the adult brain to our adult education teachers on February 7,
2009. We are launching a new program of education in our church,
Covenant Church, Colleyville, and this time gave us a needed training
to establish some foundational learning principles. The tools we were
given were both eye-opening and life changing as old methods of
learning were challenged. The course gave us all a hunger to gain even
more new insights and to put into practice the methods of Guaranteed
Learning. Thank you Donna O! All of our teachers share a deep
appreciation for you and for all you taught us. Your teaching style was
both humorous and easy to understand by being interactive and
interesting. What a wonderful and generous woman. We are truly blessed
to know you.”
