"We feel very blessed to be able to pick and choose those classes and teachers that we know will inspire our kids, reinforce the God-centered view, and encourage their love for learning. You're at the top of that list. Keep up the great work!"

~ Kristy, Homeschool mother

"Christian Worldview has been one of the most positive learning experiences in her academic career... After class she would barely get in the car before pulling out her notebook with the exclamation, 'I’ve got to tell you what I learned today!' Then, over dinner, she would bend her dad’s ear once again. This was not normal routine in our house, and we were delighted with her delight in learning... Thanks again for inspiring our daughter!"

~ Becky, Homeschool mother, Apex Christian Worldview I and History's Great Ideas

"I've grown up in the home school community and been exposed to quite a lot of worldview-type classes, but I can say without hesitation that Mr. Vogel's are the best I've ever encountered. They do a top-rate job of furnishing teenagers with the intellectual tools necessary to understand Christianity correctly and defend it well in the oftentimes-hostile world of ideas. I am a high school senior planning to pursue a major in philosophy, and I can't imagine launching out into the university system without the kind of preparation afforded by this class."

"I was in your Government & Economics class last year, and this year I am a freshman at Greensboro College. I'm majoring in history education, to be a high school teacher, and for my major I am required to take an economics course... I just wanted to thank you for preparing me well for college economics. I know my Living the Answer class is the reason that I am doing so well in this Microeconomics class. I just got my first midterm back, and I got a 95. At the end, my professor wrote a note that said, 'You are the most intelligent student I have had in years. Please, please consider becoming an ECON major.' I laughed because I would never want to be an economics major, but it was a nice compliment. So THANK YOU for teaching me well and making economics easy and even enjoyable. You have definitely contributed to my success in this college class."

"Mr. Vogel is wonderful at providing personalized feedback and constructive criticism for each assignment, making his comments both helpful and encouraging. That’s not always an easy balance to strike, but he does it beautifully. Our girls are rapidly gaining both confidence and proficiency. In just a few weeks, I’ve been very impressed at the change in their writing. I’ve always known they were intelligent and had good things to say, and thanks to their dad they are great verbal communicators. Now they are gaining the tools to communicate effectively in writing. This is important to us, and I’m thrilled that God has provided a way to build those skills."

~ Kim, Homeschool mother and blogger at Life in a Shoe, Essay Writing Online (full review here)

"What blessed my heart was reading her speeches and seeing the thinking that she was doing about God's truth and contrasting worldviews. It was hearing her witnessing by applying what she just discussed on Friday morning in your class to the issues of her peers on Friday night. When a student can turn truths from the AM into applications by the PM, that shows that she 'got it'."

~ Melissa, Homeschool mother, Cary Worldview and Communication

"David Vogel’s competence and thorough knowledge of the subject contributed to his passionate and engaging manner as an instructor... I would highly recommend this class and teacher to any prospective students."

~ Leslie, Homeschool mother, Charlotte Christian Worldview I

"Mr. Vogel was such an excellent teacher that after awhile I became more comfortable, confident and curious, all at the same time while I was in his classes. What a relief that was! Shaking with fear, I would get up to speak, but over time I became more comfortable. He gave tips to his students about how not to be nervous. Needless-to-say, the more I practiced the easier it became. All the feedback Mr. Vogel gave to me was extremely helpful for all the papers we had to prepare. I learned that there are plenty of ways which would help me improve my writing. Not only did I learn a lot in the classes, I also bumped my grades up at home. Writing and public speaking are not things that come easy for me, but by taking these classes it helped me immensely."

~ Former student, Cary Introduction to Logic and Rhetoric and Introduction to Essays

"My thirteen year old son was enrolled in the Introduction to Logic and Rhetoric class. David Vogel is an excellent teacher and communicator. This class is packed full of vital information that our children need to help them prepare to defend their faith and beliefs. My son is not comfortable with public speaking and was not very confident going into this class, but Mr. Vogel does an excellent job of helping them put forth their best efforts and is always available to help. I was very pleased at the end of the eight weeks with my son's progress. I felt it was beneficial for me to sit in on the class so that I would understand the material as we reviewed it during the week. I learned along with my son!"

~ Patti, Homeschool mother, Charlotte Introduction to Logic and Rhetoric

"I am LOVING this class and learning so much. Finally, I am taking a class or subject that I want to do and love. Thanks again!"

~ Former student, Web Design I

"Thanks for the great teaching. Several people thought we weren't novices which was nice."

~ Former student who qualified for NCFCA Regionals, Policy Debate

"I wanted to email you and thank you for my essay class this past fall! One of our essays, the one about gun control, I reused (with editing and expansion) and entered the NRA Defense Fund essay scholarship. I just got a call from the NRA and I won first place in the Junior division! I am so excited! Thanks for helping me write better essays and the great class!"

~ Former student, Charlotte Introduction to Essays

"I very much appreciated the Essay Writing Class. I enrolled her in the class because I wanted her to get feedback on her writing from someone besides me. The time you took to read the essays and give specific pointers on how to improve the writing was greatly beneficial for us... An added benefit, that I was not aware of when I enrolled her in the class, was the opportunity to think about and talk about some current issues as well as some timeless, difficult questions. She enjoyed both the discussions and the research she did on the various topics.

"I was very pleased with the academic level of the class. She was motivated to work to her potential and made a good step forward in improving her writing. It was encouraging to see her excited to do a good job on her essays and to want to put forth the effort needed to make them better. She now has a good understanding of what good writing looks like so that she is able to evaluate her writing and determine where it needs improvement and how to accomplish it."

~ Paula, Homeschool mother, Waxhaw Introduction to Essays

"My daughter actually liked David Vogel's Introduction to Essay's class. I can say that she 'actually' liked it because she doesn't like to write essays at all and now she does. She learned a great deal on writing essays in this class and Mr. Vogel always had an interesting topic to write on. Therefore, after taking this class, I can say she now 'actually' likes to write essays and I would recommend this class to anyone."

~ Christine, Homeschool mother, Gastonia Introduction to Essays

"Thanks so much. She seems to be gaining confidence in her essay writing skills, and we are seeing her attack the assignments with much more self-assurance... She is enjoying the class and is learning much. We are so very grateful to you for the class... She is soaking this all up! I am thrilled."
