Description
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.
I also have an Expanded Edition of this book, available here!

This book completely changed my approach to feedback. It is so easy to get caught up in basic feedback simply telling the parents what you did in class, but Ed’s book will make you change your mindset on leaving feedback. I refer back to the book with every feedback that I write. It has truly become a regular resource for me and has taught me so much! It is making me a better teacher!

I have had your book since the day it came out. Recently I received a comment from a parent. It directly references the feedback I gave, with help from your book. The parent said I gave a “patient explanation.” This is a four-year-old previp student. A student, who a few months ago the mom had to practically hog-tie to attend class. LOL. Your book helped me to articulate what I have struggled to communicate to the parents in the past, that the student has improved and repeats most of the time, but not to worry if he does not repeat all of the time. Your information about listening being the foundation to speaking is golden! Thank you Ed! You have not only helped me, but more importantly you have helped my parents. My feedback rate means very little compared to the help I can provide my parents. You have my gratitude!
I downloaded the PDF version. I can quickly find the information I need by clicking on a title in the Table of Contents, or I can use the “search” function within Adobe. Another useful feature is the ability to highlight portions of the text (reminds me of my college days, highlighting a textbook for study). I can then save it, and it will save what I highlighted. Not all PDFs have these features, but Ed has included them. Thank you, Ed. KEEP GOING! 🙂 5 apples for you!

The insights and practical applications in this book are invaluable. There are usable examples and thoroghal explanations. Without question, this book helped me to grown my online ESL business. Thanks Ed!

I have been teaching only 42 days and have taught only 74 classes. Up until 4 days ago, I had 2 followers and 3 5-Apple reviews. 4 days and 23 classes later, I’m up to 14 5 Apple reviews and 8 followers. 5 days ago I read Ed’s book and jotted down some notes of things to implement in my classes and feedback. Thank you so much, Ed for helping me shift my focus in a direction that is more helpful and appreciated by the parents and students. Your book is an amazing tool that shows us how to better serve these families and teach their kids!

This book has been very enlightening. It has helped me understand the Chinese culture and why the parents want their children to learn English. It has helped me with having a a more purposeful intention with my teaching. I have always been a stickler for Proper Pronunciation. After reading Ed’s book, I have really stressed pronunciation with my students, and, I am seeing great improvements. My parents are happy. My students are excelling! Thank you Ed! Can’t wait for the next book!

So Ed, I bought the book yesterday. I have to admit I am a huge skeptic by nature and thought you may have been giving incentives for good reviews BUT THE BOOK IS ACTUALLY THAT GOOD!!! I haven’t even finished reading it, but the parts I read shifted my perspective about some things and it actually made my classes MUCH better this morning! My classes always go really good, but today they were exceptional if I do say so myself! Thank you Ed! For the other skeptics out there, come up off the $10 and get the book!

Ed, you are a genius! I hope your book lets you retire early! (One can dream, right?) I bought the book yesterday but only got halfway through. Tonight was my first class. I went back and read my feedback before sending it and thought “Man, that really would be more helpful to the parent than “We did ___ today.” It took me a little longer to do, but it felt more genuine and less scripted. I LOVE IT SO MUCH! Thank you!

This book provided insight into Chinese culture and the online ESL world. After reading this book, I have provided more thoughtful and helpful feedback to my students and their parents! I have also seen increases in my class feedback percentages. This book is well-written, easy-to-read, and great for everyday feedback reference! Well done! Worth every penny!

Ed Nace, I love the book. My feedback percentage has stayed about the same since buying your book (I bought it Sunday) HOWEVER I have every child from the past week booking me 3 to 6 times over the next week or two (my spots are normally filled during the frenzy, so I went in and opened up earlier time spots and they all filled by the time I was done teaching classes today). I have never ever had every student from the week book repeatedly! I keep your book open while doing my feedback every time and use it as a reference 100% I believe it has made the difference. I use your book while I’m prepping for the lesson as well. It’s a GREAT resource!! I am absolutely purchasing the extended version! I also received my first EVER priority booking after purchasing this book and implementing the tips into my feedback!
