Iris Reading

I went to this class about a year ago. It was worth the time and money. I think it really helped me as I studied for my MBA.

I went to one of their one-​session speed reading classes after buying a Groupon. Don’t go in expecting to be a lightning-​fast reader after just one class. My expectations weren’t very high, so I was satisfied. My reading speed went up by ~25%, and that’s pretty good.
Repetition works! They have you do several drills and teach you some techniques for increasing your speed. The class was fun, had a good pace, and was easy to follow. Lydia was super nice, very clear in delivering the material, and willing to answer as many one-​on-​one questions as people had. But, man, she was the perfect candidate for teaching this class because she spoke a million words per minute! Probably carries over to her reading speed.
My main complaint is the price. $ 200 for this 5-​hour class is WAY too much. $ 60 with the Groupon was more like it. If you’ve got money to blow, go for it. Otherwise, wait for the Groupon.
