What Our Learners Say
Your method is simple, straight to the point and I can practice with it everywhere, even from my phone, that's something I have never had in other learning platforms.
Felipe Matheus
I highly recommend Educative. The courses are well organized and easy to understand.
Adina Ong
I prefer Educative courses because they have a nice mix of text & images. I find that with full video courses, it can often be too easy to go into passive learning mode.
