Frequently Asked Questions


How do I arrange individual coaching sessons?

Simply choose an Authorized Affiliate from the Find a Coach page and introduce yourself through e-mail, text or a phone call. The teacher will take it from there.

Does the coach need to be located near me?

Not necessarily. Since the majority of coaching is done by phone or Zoom, location isn't a major factor in deciding whom to call.


Is there an introductory course I can take?

Yes. The Institute offers Giving the Sense: A ZOOM Workshop in Analytical Reading at various times throughout the year. Check the Workshops tab to see our current schedule.

In addition, many individual Affilates teach a 10-hour introductory class to individuals and small groups on the phone or Zoom. Also, in-person public classes can be planned for your location upon request. Contact the Institute or an Authorized Affiliate.


What are the costs involved?

Fees are determined by each coach individually for introductory classes and individual lessons. For such a unique offering, most people find it very affordable.


How much time is involved?

As much or as little as you’re willing and able to spend. Classes range between 10 and 12 hours over several days or weeks while coaching sessions are usually scheduled for an hour at a time. Again, each Affiliate will work with you to help you find the best fit for your needs.

Will I sound like an imitation of my coach?

No. You will sound like the best version of you. You’re never told how something should be read, but you decide based on the tools and techniques you’ve learned. Listen to an example of a typical coaching session.
