About Loud and Clear: I want this book to empower you to write feedback that parents will want to read. And you’ll pick up some tidbits on Chinese culture along the way.
After covering the principles I use to write useful feedback, I show you samples of how I word feedback in specific situations. I hope that this info will help you find your own unique voice and leave feedback that is useful, realistic, and inspiring. When you deliver an AMAZING experience both in the classroom and in the feedback box, parents tend to reciprocate with rave reviews or re-bookings.

This book is a must-have if you teach English to students in China. Ed covers a lot more than just feedback in the expanded edition. I have improved my teaching skills, cultural knowledge, and feedback since purchasing this book. I also have increased the amount of 5-apple reviews and several parents have mentioned the “detailed feedback” in their comments. Thanks for this amazing resource, Ed!

Top marks for this extremely useful resource. Ed Nace exudes confidence, compassion, and creativity in his finely-tuned guidebook for writing effective feedback. He addresses a huge spread of pedagogical issues and cultural concepts and provides useful examples of what to say when. It’s a great approach and well-presented, too. I reference this manual every day. It’s worth every penny and I just wish I had known about it sooner. If you’re on the fence, hop off on the side of reason and just get your copy! You won’t regret it.

I keep laughing at myself for thinking, “I don’t see how spending money on a book on how to give feedback can possibly help me.” Ha! In hindsight, that was absurd.
Not only has my feedback rate increased, but I have started really seeing my role and how to fulfill it better. A little cultural background information and a LOT of perspective is the simplest way to explain things. I understand the need students have for positive reinforcement and that their parents want to know they are making some kind of progress. I started paying attention to what parents actually want to know about instead of simply reviewing what we did. In particular, I have found that my students have made quicker progress because the parents and I are now working as a team.
The style of feedback taught in this book is what EVERY teacher needs to succeed. I know, I know: “I do just fine without this book and it’s faster and easier to do pre-made feedback with only a sentence of personalization. I get booked and get enough feedback.” Guess what? You can become MORE in demand (possibly only utilizing short notice bookings), get HIGHER feedback rates, and therefore become more valuable and have more opportunities. Don’t shortchange yourself! (It’d be like saying the dial-up internet gets the job done. Well, yeah, but WHYYYY live like that?)
I encourage every one of my referrals to purchase the expanded version. Definitely worth every penny! Many thanks to Ed!

Wow! This book has not only changed the way I think about feedback, it’s actually made me a better teacher! I no longer dread writing feedback. Instead I’ve found my voice and I write from the heart. (Well ok, from the brain too!) But gone are the days of copying and pasting someone else’s dry recap of the lesson and trying to “personalize” it. I’ve had a huge increase in 5 apple reviews since adopting this style – but with my own voice – and some really great comments from parents. Thank you, Ed!

This book perfectly addresses just about every student and classroom scenario you can think of. I’ve already received parent feedback telling me how thankful they are for my comments and suggestions. Thank you, Ed!

Ed’s book is fantastic. It has helped me to think about the feedback I write, and to modify it so that it is more meaningful to the parents. Ed was also extremely helpful as I had some technical difficulties. He responded to my emails promptly and made sure my problem was resolved. Buy with confidence!

This is a great book to help you react and better your feedback skills! It helps give you a cultural view on what Chinese parents expect!! Ed did a fabulous job of compiling and giving us a little bit of everything, to help us write the best feedback we can and just rake in a few more of those five apple reviews. Thank you…it is a great tool.

Wow! This book has done SO much more than just help me learn to write feedback. I’m a better teacher! Thank you Ed Nace.
